Background

I'm currently in Year 11 in VCE and undertaking the following subjects:

  • English
  • Mathematical Methods CAS
  • GMA Mathematics (Leads to Specialist Maths)
  • Chemistry
  • Japanese
  • Accounting

Next year, will I survive if I undertake five Year 12 subjects (3/4 Units):

  • English
  • Mathematical Methods CAS
  • Further Mathematics
  • Accounting
  • Japanese
  • University Japanese (MUEP)

If I get in [to University Japanese], I'm thinking I'll drop chemistry as a subject (I'm capable of doing it but just not interested in doing it in and feeling unmotivated.)

I'm also planning to switch Specialist to Further Mathematics since juggling six subjects in total next year would be hard and I'm quite confident in my maths ability to get something good out of it. I won't be under so much stress and pressure from having to heavily focus on Specialist (in my opinion).

Question

Is doing University Japanese and Year 12 Japanese (Japanese Units 3 & 4) at the same time hard? How's the workload? I am very passionate about the subject!

 what do you want to do after year 12? which subjects are prerequisites for any future study you hope to do? – MrsK May 26 at 1:35
I plan to do something involved in Accounting possibly along with language diploma for Japanese, so the main subjects I need would be Eng, MM, Accounting and Japanese – Nikki Jun 17 at 8:19

Thanks for the post Nikki and welcome to Merspi!

I've edited your post to make the immediate question a little more obvious and immediate (for the benefit of other readers) - hope you don't mind!

To answer your primary question - I don't think doing University Japanese and Year 12 Japanese would be too much workload if you're passionate about Japanese!

My general advice when it comes to subject selection is pick the subjects that you are most passionate about!

This may sound like a cliché but this simple little strategy will have a tremendous effect on maximising your results.

Hope that helps! Feel free to comment here if I didn't explain anything clearly or you'd like me to elaborate.
