How do I choose my subjects?
(music)
Choosing the subjects, you will study for the next few years
is a big decision, so, it’s important not to rush it.
So, how do you choose?
Knowing what you’re like as a person can help
you to choose what subjects will suit you
Start to think about:
Your interests
Do you like learning about different cultures and languages
Do you like to be creative?
How you learn best
Do you like to be active and practical?
Do you enjoy reading and researching?
You should choose subjects because:
You enjoy them
You’re more likely to do well in subjects you are interested in
You’re good at doing them
If you’re doing well in a subject now
then you’re likely to get a good grade at the end of year 11
It suits your career idea.
You shouldn’t choose a subject because:
Your friends are taking it
What works for them, might not work for you.
You’re influenced by family and people around you
Don’t narrow down your career choices in the future because you think like this.
If you enjoy and are good at a subject, then you can study it!
