Heyo guys!
I hope everyone’s holidays are going well!
This year I am going into year 12 and I will be doing Spec, Methods, English and Chem.
I completed bio and further last year and performed okay in both (low forties if I am looking at the scaled scores).
I was wondering about how I should arrange my top four subjects, specifically where I should put spec… Both my sisters have completed it and they both said I should put it into my bottom two subjects (10% increment only) so that if I end up screwing up/not doing so well in it (because it is such an advanced subject), it won’t drag my ATAR down… But I feel like for a subject that is very advanced and requires so much effort (not to mention how much it scales), it seems against the point to put it in my bottom two…
I really enjoy maths as a subject and I know I am capable of doing really well when I put a lot of effort into it (I did unit 1/2methods this year and I was in the top 5 in my class). But I am just not sure about what would be the smartest thing to do here…
If anyone who has done spec before has any advice regarding this, that would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
