  oh and i take art because i'm interested it in. also i need an Arts subject to contrast my science subjects (stupid new rule). i dont like history geog or lit and econs, although somewhat more useful, is kinda boring

  i learn IT but much of it is old stuff by the time I get out of school...

  When you tok abt old stuff do you refer to specific software tool and programming language? If that is the case indeed it get obsolete fast BUT computing fundamentals still remain. Algorithm and data structures are still being used in newer languages and software tools. These are what I called IT fundamentals that have yet to change much

  one H3 subject seems good but thats not my real concern.
  
  my problem is with H1 physics.
  
  is taking H1 physics pointless? because since theres already a H2 chem it makes more sense to do 2 H2 sciences. also, most of the science related courses like engineering dental medicine and etc need the student to have at least 2 H2 sciences.
  
  i need some advice haha. jc students of the new syllabus! gather and enlighten me! [/b]

  hahah! i take h1 physics too! got U for cts. gonna flunk it. concentrate on h2s.

  h1 sciences don't have SPA (practical)

  True, programming language is out of date pretty fast...
  But the architecture fundamentals are useful.
  Reality always seem different from the theories...
  But I prefer work than study..
