I am currently a Year 11 Student looking to do Algorithmic's instead of Biology next year as I find Biology quite a medial subject and would like a challenge, my current subjects are:
Psych 3+4
Methods 1+2
Japanese (SL) 1+2
History: Global Empires 1+2
Biology: 1+2 - Thinking of swapping for Algorithmic's.
Would I be jepordising my ATAR if I decide to change to Algorithmic's next year or is it best to stick with a subject that bores me but I know I can pull of a good study score with? Is VCE Computing, Software development or Programming necessary to do alright in the subject? Even though I have the extra subject of Psych 3+4.
All of my Methods Scores have been above 90% for the current semester.
Thanks for reading :)
So, I've been thinking about taking up Algorithmics next year to replace Chemistry, as I would like to challenge myself in the IT/Computer Science field. Here are my current subjects:I suppose the main things you need to consider are whether you would be suited to learning in a Distance Ed environment; and if you are intending on studying at university after high school - whether or not Chemistry is a prerequisite for any particular course you are interested in (although I'm not the biggest expert on this).
- English Language Units 1 + 2
- Maths Methods Units 1 + 2
- Specialist Maths Units 1 + 2
- Physics Units 1 + 2
- Software Development Units 3 + 4
- Chemistry Units 1 + 2 - thinking about swapping for Algorithmics.
I would have to take Algorithmics via Distance Ed, as my school does not offer this subject. I am acing Maths Methods with consistent scores over 90% in Semester 1, and achieving As and Bs for my other subjects. Should I take Algorithmics next year, or do I stick with Chemistry instead?
