This is for people doing their HSC. Post what subjects you are studying.

Here's mine:

[Apey]

Heh, I will be doing my next year but in Preliminary I am doing:

Advanced Maths
Advanced English
Maths extension 1
IPT
SDD
IT
Ancient History

For the HSC next year I will either:

Pick up extension 2 Maths, drop SDD & IT
or
Just drop SDD

(We have a really sh*t teacher for SDD)

 

[Dutchy]

Just drop SDD

(We have a really sh*t teacher for SDD)

I did the same thing...Our teacher was a disgrace

 

[Hallatia]

you do too nay computer subjects Apey:crazy:
IPT and SDD:crazy:

I do regular IT
Society and Culture
Physics
Maths
4 units of English

 

[McLovin]

Anyone need a study buddy??

 

[Eelementary]

I'm keen to know the reasoning behind this thread...Is it to let everyone know how smart we all are? How nerdy? How busy? :crazy:

Anyway. I digress. Study hard, kiddies.

 

[Eelementary]

Although I am interested to know - why don't schools offer to teach statistics as a stand-alone subject for the HSC? It would save universities time, and if they're offering to teach Society and Culture, I would think that it could be a real possibility...

you learn statistics 1000 times in maths, well general maths anyway and you learn it in Society and Culture

 

[Eelementary]

That's not statistics. I mean real statistics.

I believe it's a valid question - if you're going to do anything science-related at university, 90% of courses will subject you to 3 years of statistics. But they won't subject you to 3 years of entry-level chemistry, physics or biology, because all that is covered in school.

So as an elective, real statistics would be a bonus for those interested in going into those fields of study. Just a suggestion.

 

[Hallatia]

statistics are gay

 

[Eelementary]

Not any gayer than Society and Culture.

But that's not the point. The point is it's useful for some people to study properly.

 

[Stonecutter]

Atleast statistics could be relavent in life unlike most of the sh*t I do in Adv Maths.

 

[Eelementary]

Well there you go.

Way I see it, if they offer religion, society & culture, legal studies, business studies and economics, why not offer statistics as a stand-alone selective? It's fairly important to many people's later careers.

Would there really be that much to learn in statistics to cover preliminary HSC and HSC years?

 

[Eelementary]

There's enough statistics to cover 3 years of university if you get into medicine.

Maybe the basics could be covered in 1 year. But it would take more than one or two chapters from the Year 11/Year 12 syllabus to properly cover all that you should know should you decide to get into medicine, science or mathematics.

 

[Hallatia]

hey Society and Culture is awesome it is the one place you are actually encouraged to make everything up

 

[Eelementary]

I'm sure it is a great subject.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Its a sh*thouse subject, IMO.

I did it before i dropped it this year.

Anyway for those playing at home

English Advanced
English Extension
Legal Studies
Economics
Modern History
History Extension

i do 10 units, coz thts all you need, and yeah im a lazy f**k.

 

[Eelementary]

Not keen on maths, eh?

I did 12 units. What I did for my HSC:

English Advanced
Maths Advanced (though I wish I did 3-unit)
Legal Studies
Biology
Chemistry

I also did PDH/PE in Year 11 before dropping it.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

nah maths was my #1 nemesis, espeically when my school made me do it in year 11... i was forced to f**kign do maths

on statistics, im not a fan but im sure its a worthy subject... im not sure it's homosexuality should have any bearing tbh.
