Choosing Subjects

ADVICE ON CHOOSING YOUR SUBJECTS

You should:

• Choose subjects you’re good at

• Choose subjects you’re interested in studying

• Choose subjects that you really want to learn so you can meet your future goals.

You should not:

• Choose subjects based on your friends’ choices or on whom you think the teacher might be

• Approach your subject selection with the attitude that you can try subjects and change them if you don’t like them

• Choose subjects beyond your ability - listen to your teachers’ advice

• Play the scaling game - you will not be scaled up just for choosing a “hard” subject

• Choose subjects based on potential excursions or their ‘bludge’ factor.
