SelectionsHow do I make the best choice.• Talk to your teachers, ask them questions.• Read your subject selection book.• Ask older students that you trust about subjects they

have studied (but remember sometimes subjects change each year).

SelectionsWhy not to pick a subject.•Your friends are doing it.•Somebody tells you that you won’t like it.• It’s too much theory (all subjects have an

element of theory).
