Help me with my subject selection for year 11

[TGillam]

Hi Guys,

I am fairly new here and I have probably put this question in the wrong place but I would really appreciate some help with my subject selection. I am in year 10 and my subjects for next year are due soon. This year I have been studying biology 1/2 and haven’t enjoyed it very much and don't plan to take the 3/4. My school also offers a program called NHT which means you finish the 3/4 half through year 12. I was interested by this and decided to take NHT Methods (the only one they offer). So including methods the subjects I believe I am going to do next year is 1/2 Chem, 1/2 Physics, 1/2 Specialist, 1/2 E Lang and 2/3 Methods (because of Northern hemisphere timetable). The real question i have is what I should do as my sixth subject. I would also like to do a 3/4 next year to compliment the NHT Methods. So to keep in mind is the question I have is what subject I should do as a 3/4 in year 11 without a 1/2. Like I previously mentioned I have been doing 1/2 Bio this year and I have the option to do the 3/4 next year but I really don't enjoy it and don't wish to do three sciences. So I was curious to hear from you guys about what subject you think are easy to do as a 3/4 in year 11 without a 1/2 and subjects that will suit the subject I reallly enjoy which is maths science.  The subjects that have interested me to take as a 3/4 next year is 3/4 Economics and 3/4 PE.

Is 3/4 Economics good to take without a 1/2 in year 11?

Is 3/4 PE good to take without a 1/2 in year 11?

Any other recommendations about good 3/4 subjects in year 11 that don’t need a 1/2 and are suited towards maths and science students?

Do I suck it up and do the asian five with bio as my 3/4 next year even though I don't really enjoy it?

Do I even need to do a 3/4 next year given I am doing NHT Methods?

P.S. It is important to note my school doesn’t offer a whole heap of 3/4 in year a 11 and the only other ones I could potentially see myself taking is Business Management, Geography, Global politics and Legal studies.


Thanks so much Toby

Welcome to the forums

I haven't done PE and economics so I can't really comment on those, but I would recommend against taking science subjects just to do so if you don't find it interesting (this is coming from someone who did eng lang, maths & science and thought it was the right subject choice for me). Psych is suited to doing 34 without 12 but then that's a science

Do you have an idea of what you're interested in doing after high school?

I hope someone is able to chip in for eco & PE and good luck with your decision!

I'm also in Year 10 with subject selection coming up. I joined just yesterday and the website has helped me so much so I hope that happens to you as well. I'm doing 1/2 Bio this year as well, and I want to pick up a 3/4 next year. The one that I've decided to is Health and Human Development (might not be at your school, might be). PE from what I've heard (not my experience so take it with a grain of salt) is that the units are written as standalone and you could so just the 3/4. However, its best for someone who has experience to comment on that. I hope you find a solution

I picked up further 3/4 in year 11 after never doing in before, keep in mind I was doing methods and also enjoy maths/science subjects. It really balanced my subjects out and was manageable compared to a subject such as economics or P.E which has a lot of content.

good luck !

by further I mean general maths 3/4
