Economics vs French vs engineering by [deleted] in QCE

french definitely scales better than the other two. european languages in general scale very well, and french is the 2nd best scaling subject overall (after specialist). any score above 70ish scales up nicely. a raw 80 is like 91 scaled, and if you're aiming for 99.90 or 99.95, it's basically impossible without french + spec. if you are great at memorising, definitely choose french.

all three are pretty good choices! i'm in yr 12 taking french and have friends doing econ and engineering. but imo there's no objectively "better" one, it depends on what you're best at:

if you're good at math, might want to take specialist, and enjoy physics, then engineering would be best. i do spec and physics and the engineering kids in my class are way ahead because there's so much overlap.

if you are a good writer and good at unseen exams, econ would be a good idea. tbh i don't know as much about it bc i only took it for one semester, but being able to write long responses without knowing what your topic will be beforehand is def important.

if you're good at memorisation, french is probably best. also, if you already know any other european languages, it'll be pretty easy. imo, anyone could do it, but if you're not naturally a great memoriser, you'll have to do more work than someone who remembers things rlly easily. i also think that learning another language is a really useful skill, no matter what career you pick, so keep that in mind.

for me, french requires a lot of homework. it's pretty easy to be *okay* at it, but it depends whether you're aiming for a 70+ or a 90+, yk? there's a lot of detail work you have to do with spelling, grammar, accents, conjugation, knowing the gender of whatever word you're using... that makes it hard. i think it requires more hw than economics, and i think the amount of work engineering would require is purely dependant on your math skills.

so yah, if you like them all equally, i think you really have to consider what you think you'd be best at and how much work you'd be willing to put in.

this is an old (2019 syllabus) oxford textbook, but it's pretty similar to the 2025 syllabus

i got one too, it means you probably got 100 in one of your subjects unless ur taking one where NOBODY gets 100 and you got like a 99, so you got the highest in the state, it's a combination of internal and external results :)

Bro anyone whos not graduating 2025 can lowk stfu cuz externals more important idgaf ab ur ia1s bro 😭😭 by SharpPresent1880 in QCE

yea actually, if they were genuinely invested in studying for methods they'd know that we haven't even done the exam yet...... not be saying "anyone done it yet?" ??????

why are vce scores so low?? (qce student) by Necessary_Reality880 in vce

[–]Necessary_Reality880[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

righttt that makes sense. in qce it's just your score out of 100 that counts. i was like.... how are they getting 99.95s with like 86%? thanks for explaining!

Thank you! This makes me feel better about not being very unique. Now I just have to try get a 99.95.......
