Not sure what subject to do in year 12?

Hi everyone,
I'm going into year 12 next year and I'm really unsure about one of my subjects.
This year I'm doing:
English
General Maths
German
3/4 Business
VET Fashion/Textiles
Psychology

I kind of fell into the whole "psychology isn't a real science" thing and it was one of only subjects that would work with my timetable so I picked it. Problem is I hate like 80% of the content apart from the more social psych parts. I love the teacher and some of my best friends are in that class but they're all changing subjects so its unlikely we'll be in the same class next year.

I think I'd like to pick up legal or another humanities subject (maybe history) but my friends are really disliking unit 4 legal so I don't know. Scaling isn't a massive concern because the corses I'm looking at don't need a massively high ATAR but I'd still like to do pretty well.

I'd appreciate any advice because I'm really stuck with what to do.
Thank you xxx

Hey,

I'd recommend you look at the study designs for the subjects you're interested in so you have a better idea of what next year's content is and can make a more informed choice :) I'm glad you're not focused on picking a subject for scaling - scaling is generally designed to remove advantage/disadvantage for doing a particular subject (except w/ languages) so picking a subject you like less for the scaling is a bad idea.
