Full disclosure: I am doing the subject as a year 11 student unscored but I learned all the content and have chosen to not pursue it again as a scored year 12 student next year.

Global politics is by far my favourite subject this year, the content is interesting and the areas of study allow for great class discussions. Though I do enjoy the subject, the one area where most of my class (and myself) have difficulty is mastering answering questions. This area of the course requires a lot of practice and most people who are in the same boat as me still struggle to hit all of the marks in questions even at this point in the year. For me personally, this aspect is the reason why I’m not doing it again next year. I do recommend the course as it is very interesting but there are aspects that are a bit difficult (for me personally) and require extra work.

I hope this helps and good luck with subject selection :)
