Choosing Senior SubjectsOn the one hand, it seems like an easy choice, and sometimes it's presented that way - just choose the subjects you enjoy and are good at, and that will give you the best result at the end of Year 12. Then you hear the rumours: you need to do Maths C to get an OP1, taking Physics will get you a better OP than HPE, and an LA in Maths B is better than an HA in Maths A. What's true? Below we've tried to correct some common misconceptions. Right at the bottom of the page, you will find a 'Senior Subjects Pyramid' which can help you sort out your priorities. There's also a link to our Senior Subjects Handbook. There is a lot of detailed information about each subject and possible pathways in there - read it early!
