Choosing

Optional

Subjects

As with choosing any subject combination, the primary consideration for selecting optional subjects should really be interest. Without interest, the intensity of the subject can make one burn out.

You also need to look at the prerequisites of your desired polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education (ITE) courses before you choose your optional subjects.

Different subjects differ in terms of their requirements and rigour. You need to set aside time for self-reflection - decide what you like to do, and what you can realistically do.
