As a year 10 student, choosing suitable HSC subjects for year 11 and 12 is vital. Read on to learn valuable tips to consider when selecting them. 

 

As you enter into the final laps of high school, it is vital to select HSC subjects that will lay a foundation for your college courses and prepare you for your future career goals. These subjects should be relevant and valuable to you in the long run. As such, you must pay extra attention when selecting them. 

 

One thing to note when creating your HSC subject lists is that selecting relevant subjects is just as important as choosing the right amount of subjects. You need to know how many HSC subjects to choose, which ones are relevant to your preferred future career, and many other important factors. 

 

Below are the essential things to consider when selecting your HSC subjects.

Select subjects you enjoy or are good at

 

It is imperative to choose HSC subjects you will enjoy learning. Avoid selecting your HSC subjects because everyone else is doing so. Consider your interests and select subjects that fall in line with them. It is much easier to commit to learning topics that you love. Not only will it be easier to grasp the content, but it will also give you the motivation to work hard and achieve good grades.

Consider your preferred course and choice of university 

If you already have a preferred course you’d like to study at the university of your choice, consider these things before creating an HSC subject list. Course prerequisites vary according to universities; therefore, you should go through that of your preferred university to enable you to pick the suitable HSC subject combination. 

Seek advice from your parents and teachers

 

While whichever subjects you decide to complete is ultimately your choice, it is still a good idea to seek advice from your teachers and parents. They are the most qualified individuals to guide you through the HSC subject selection process. In school, your teachers are aware of your strengths, weaknesses, progress and abilities in every subject; therefore, it is easy to seek advice from them. On the other hand, your parents are also aware of your interests and preferences, and  as a result, they can assist you in choosing suitable HSC subjects.

Consider other tasks at hand 

 

You want to ensure that you select the right number of HSC subjects to enable you to strike a balance between them and other ongoing responsibilities or tasks you may have. Time limitation is essential when choosing HSC subjects. Some subjects require more commitment than others; as such, it is necessary to consider how much time you can commit to each subject and how much of a workload is involved. Consider other tasks that already occupy your time, then decide on the subjects you’d like to take, and how you want to tackle each.\

Don’t sweat it

Your choice of HSC subjects can help you set a good foundation for achieving your future career goals. However, you should never forget that they are just HSC subjects. While it is essential to select suitable subjects, they don’t define your life or your success in the end. Therefore, avoid stressing over it.

 

How many HSC subjects can I choose? 

The number of HSC subjects to choose is ultimately your choice. However, there are some rules you should be aware of before selecting your subjects.

 

  • Each HSC subject comes in numbered units.
  • You must complete at least 12 unit subjects in year 11, and at least 10 unit subjects in year 12
  • In both years,  you must include 6 units of Board Developed courses, and 2 units of a Board Developed course in English.
  •  You must include three courses of 2 or more units (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed Courses) and four subjects.

Finally, selecting your HSC subjects wisely is the first step towards preparing yourself for your future career goals. Seek help from your career advisers, parents, and teachers. Carry out the necessary research, and then select courses you believe will be relevant to you.
