Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!Advance physics isn't that bad tbh and graph com is probably one of the easiest subject imo. Higher geog is just like standard grade with a wee bit of extra stuff, nothing too bad. Good luck with computing, I've been told it's near impossible(Original post by Liammm)
I'm doing advanced higher physics and computing. Higher geography and crashing graph com...
Should be a fun year... -
Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!Good shout but it was just the fact he said he wanted to do 3 sciences at Higher in school but was unable to do this. I took that as him wanting to study Higher Biology.(Original post by TheFOMaster)
He might've not done S-Grade Biology but done S-Grade Physics -
Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!
This year I've done, English, History, Modern Studies, Business Management and French all at Higher.
For 6th year I am hoping to do Advanced Higher Business Management, Higher Health and Food Technology (Crash) Higher RMPS and Int. 2 Spanish.
However I am considering doing AH French and possibly Higher Spanish instead of just Int 2.
Would anyone recommend crashing Higher Spanish? -

Apparently, most of computing is coursework (I think 60%?) so I can probably get a few of my more geeky friends to help me with that! I was alright at SG geography, there's just loads of writing!

Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!Yeah, my friend that does it says it's completely solo and markers can spot where your own coding style contrasts with someone elses. Graph com is 30% project so it's quite easy to go into the exam with 25% and physics is 20% for project which, so long as you come up with a semi-original theory/experiments, is fairly easy to be able to walk into the exam with 18%. I did verification of Bernoullis's equations and made 3 experiments up and got around 23 or 24/25.(Original post by TheUnbeliever)

Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!I did Higher French this year (5th year) and my French teacher (who is a Higher Spanish teacher too) says since we know the format of the exams we only need to work a bit more on grammar/vocab etc. for Higher Spanish.(Original post by saaaaammi)

A lot of people in my year who did Higher French are doing Spanish in 6th year, and even people who haven't done a language before were bumped up from Int 2 to Higher (without their consent? Which was weird).Last edited by auberjean; 26-05-2012 at 08:38. -
That's exactly what I did, one word of advice for graphics and physics. Do not leave your projects till the last minute get as much of the graphics ones done as you can at the start of the year, you'll need all the time you can get for maths ( it's really good but an absolute killer!)(Original post by Direct15)
Adv maths,graph comm and physics can't wait free periods

Good luck with trying to teach yourself applied maths, I tried it from getting a really good A at higher with very little success (bailed about half way through the course). It's definitely the sort of subject that needs teached!(Original post by /\NDY)
AH Maths, Chemistry & Physics, and I might be self-teaching AH Applied Maths
