Hi,
I've read through many threads on the differences between the 3 english subjects but I'm still unsure on which one to go for.
I'm not aiming for anything english/hums related and my VCE subjects are mostly science/health. Because of this tons of people recommend me to do EL. The scaling is tempting and I've been told it's the one STEM kids usually go for as it's the most "scientific" subject out of the three, but at the same time the content seems a bit boring?
I'm more of a STEM person but I like english, currently averaging 85~90% at school. I'm also currently doing a lit elective which is similar to VCE lit and I'm loving it. But I think it'll be a lot harder to score high in. On the other hand I really don't want to do mainstream english because of the scaling and the fact that the final exam is 3 hours long (I know this is petty but how do you sit still for 3 hours??).
ATM I'm kinda stuck between EL and Lit, (haven't completely ruled out english). I guess my question is, which english would be the most useful/applicable to real life? And if I'm decent at year 10 english, which would be most suitable?
Thanks.
ETA: I'm in year 10 doing 3&4 bio and PE; next year I'm doing 3&4 chem and most likely HHD. Aiming for monash med.
Also my sister did lit last year and got a 50; and reading through her essays, I don't think I'll ever get to that level lol.
