Hello! Any 2022 graduates around?

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice on what units 3/4 to do early? I might be able to do one next year but I've heard for some subjects it's really important to have done units 1/2 beforehand. I'm thinking of either health or psychology or media?

And what's the difference between the 3 English subjects? Which would be the most applicable?

Thank you!

Hey there!

Can't comment on Media as I didn't do it.

Health - I did 3&4 without 1&2 and was totally fine. Didn't feel at any disadvantage. The study design has since changed but I'd imagine it would be the same deal.

Psych - I did 1&2 before 3&4 but think it would probably be fine, too.

If I had to recommend any of the three based purely on what you've written, it would be HHD. Are you leaning to any in particular?

just adding on what Joseph said

regarding psych, I'm currently at  around the top of my class without having done 1/2 except the most important thing about psych is research methods which my  teacher has briefly gone over. If you go onto 1/2 psych, learn RESEARCH METHODS.

If you don't, your marks will substantially fall . . .

Sorry for the late reply!

@Joseph41, I think I'm leaning towards either media or HHD. Psychology sounds a bit terrifying...

@Ionic Doc, might be a dumb question but what exactly is research methods? Is it the research poster? How should I prepare for it?

Thanks!!

Research methods is heavily applicable to the poster but it's not just that.  It's your understanding of how the scientific method is applied within the scope of VCE psychology. I'd definitely recommend looking at the study design to see what the topics covered in it are and asking about anything you don't understand.  If you study other sciences this will help you but it won't cover everything.

In terms of preparing,  building your understanding, remembering the terms & applying it (eg practice questions) would prepare you well for 3&4

How's everyone enjoying the holidays? How are you guys preparing for Year 10?

Hi Laura! Not bad, I went to Singapore around December but other than that, nothing else. As for preparing, we got loads of Methods HW, I completed 8 exercises (3 chapters) of the Cambridge Maths Methods textbook. What about you?

I'm also doing 1/2 methods this year (I'm Year 11 btw ) and I haven't touched the methods work yet. Other than doing chemistry and biology homework, I've been seeing lots of friends and going to a couple of AN lectures.

How was Singapore? How long were you there? The furthest I went this holidays was Ocean Grove.

Hi Laura, Sorry for the late reply.
I went to Merlion( a fountain with the statue of a half fish half lion), the Singapore zoo, and the national museum. I was there for three weeks (came back to Australia on the 6th).

So who's doing a 3/4 this year? Anybody suffering with me lmaooo?

I do private tuition for three unit 3/4 subjects, but I can only do two unit 1/2 subjects at school. (I actually was supposed to do four - methods, specialist, physics and lit, but I changed to a selective school and they only allow me to do methods 1/2 and physics 1/2).

But it's not like I am complaining, two unit 1/2 subjects is much much less of a workload than four. Also I feel like I can spend more time studying for those 1/2 subjects , therefore quality > quantity.

haha lol.
Well tbh, it's not exactly vce subjects I am taking, the private tuition just teaches concepts that cover units 3/4 of the subjects I mentioned. If u went to james an, you would know (srsly james an went to as far as asking questions about complex numbers, and I don't get how they expect students to achieve more than 60%).
How's your studying for ebss

How are you guys finding remote learning at the moment?? Are any of you doing 1/2 or 3/4 subjects?

[SanchaTheSeeker]

Remote learning...ehhh... I lose concentration quite a lot and I find that my classmates are quite silly when we're in the video call breakout rooms. I find it a lot more chill though as we don't get as much work and I've barely needed to take notes lol

It is very tedious 

I am doing methods 1/2 now and I enjoy it
