My biggest mistake was letting my school be the only source of knowledge on what VCE subjects to do and how to do them. By this I simply mean my school didn't provide the resources to tell students that subjects could be done by distance education and that in year 12 you could do university subjects. I'm surprised they never told us about it considering the school directly across the road from us (literally right across the road) taught university subjects there

doing physics.

I've always been a big believer of doing subjects which you love, yet i allowed people to talk me into doing physics 3/4 this year. Should have done lit instead.

I barely choose any of my subjects. I did methods and chem cos they were prereqs English was compulsory but I would have done it even if it wasnt and the only subject I chose was Bio

yeah, the five other subjects i do i really like or even love, only english is quite average due to my below average teacher. But methods, chem, revs and bio were all subjects i chose purely because i wanted to do them and really enjoy them.

And it is this time of the year where thats really starting to count. Low on motivation i actually look forward to doing chem prac exams, and despite being pretty average at methods, the fact i really like it is encouraging me to work really hard on it.

Why don't you wing one? :P That's what I plan to do if I epic-ly fail one of my Englishes in Year 12. But I'll probably drop one of them (depending on the teacher, my interest etc.) else the workload is too much.

Oh that wasn't based on how it would've affected my ENTER. If I did do uni maths and physics, my score would've gone up by most 0.2.

I cared more about doing subjects that I liked/had an interest in. Doing uni maths would've been awesome for me because I wouldn't have to endure the plain-ness that 1st year uni maths is at Monash.

Oh, good luck :P
You might even fluke English and come out with some decent scores.

But anyway, I think there is this (language analysis) section in the English and EngLang exam which overlaps. I'm not too sure since I'm not yet a VCE student - correct me if I'm wrong?
