Methods or physics

[Shinkaze]

Hey everyone! Course confirmation is coming up for me and I really don't know what to do because I'm facing a problem here with methods and physics :/

Basically I'm year 10 and this year I've took methods 1/2 and physics 2 (which covers electricity, light and motion in our school) And I'm wondering which one should I accelerate in because I can't do both (school policy with dumb people like me .-.) I've gotten a better average mark overall in methods throughout the year but I often fail or do really well ie. very unstable results whereas in physics, I (almost) always pass and never really failed any assessments. My worry is just about the new study design if I don't pick physics because my school is not allowing me to repeat any of those 1/2s so for methods I can still stick with going to specialist but I'm worried about physics. However, I never really did "well" in physics? And also, I heard the new study design for physics is more practical based and I don't really like doing experiments and stuff because it just annoys me a little.

What should I do :/ Thank you for anyone who actually bothered to read this! Please help me out :c

Apparently the new physics study design has a lot more interesting topics but I guess its personal opinion. But yeah, I agree VCE physics pracs are absolute shit..

If you're going to do Specialist, doing Methods concurrently wouldn't be too bad, since there's a lot of overlap. Then again, same goes with Physics and Specialist, so doing either in Year 12 isn't too bad.

Just go with the one that you feel more confident with!

If you want to do both, do both. I don't know what type of school you go to but most are scared of angry parents. Just get your parents on your side (sound wussy but it might work) and have a meeting with the principle or whatever. It's not like you are breaking an actual rule anyway
