  • UMEP Physics, UMEP Indonesia or Specialist???

I need to finalise my subjects for next year and have no clue what to do...

This year I'm doing Chem 1/2, Methods 1/2, Spec 1/2, Physics 1/2, Eng lang 1/2 and Indo 3/4

I'm rlly enjoying indo and would love to do it with UMEP but idk if I'll use it in the future as I'm considering an engineering pathway and feel like physics or spec might help more

Spec is a good class because it's small and I like learning new math concepts but I feel like the workload is a lot and can't really be bothered with it next year but I'm not sure if this will stop me from doing things at uni in the future

UMEP Physics sound interesting and I'd love to do it but I'm not sure if I'll get in considering I have an 86% average and I need an A average to get in

Any advice would be greatly appreciated especially if u have done any of these subjects

Thanks

I've only done specialist unit 3/4, but I found it helpful in methods as a lot of the content links. The workload is more than methods but it's manageable if you stay on top of things. Doing specialist can also put you a step ahead in university, as you may be able to skip a particular maths unit in some courses, even if maths is not a prerequisite in that course. However, I haven't come across any courses where it is actually a prerequisite. Honestly, I would just choose whichever subject you enjoy doing the most!

Whatever you do, Don't drop physics. It makes spec sooo much easier..... (I already am not liking spesh, and would be absolutely useless without it).

I think spec is not really a pre-req, except for a a couple of specific engineering courses. (i can't remember which)

Although supposedly u have to do an extra at uni if you don't do it (at most uni's for engineering)

But I agree with Jjessiie, Do what you enjoy the most!
