what do you mean?
doing 3/4 in year 11 is the same as doing it in year 12.... haha, it's easier for most if you do it in year 11 as you have more time and only one subject to worry about.

i don't know much about the new 3/4 psych sorry, look it up on the vcaa website. regardless, it's definitely not requiring the 1/2.

unit 1/2 doesnt relate to unit 3/4 so you dont have to catch up

and yes you can do a minimum of 5 vce subs but 6 are counted so its best to do at least 6

3/4 psych = visual perception, states of consciousness, experimental techniques, cannot remember the rest atm :S next year will have some slight changes though as vexx mentioned above

The new 2011-2014 Study design has changed quite a bit. They include:
: elimanation of three area of studies per unit;; its now TWO areas of study
: research methods is now assumed knowledge taught inside the areas of studies and not separately as previously in Unit 4
: visual perception has been eradicated and "mental health" has been added in
