    Hey everyone, I'm, going into 5th year in August.

    I want to study engineering in uni, and then get a masters in Nanotechnology, but I have 1 problem.

    I'm not that great at maths, and to do engineering in Uni, I need a minimum HC3 in higher level maths.

    A good chunk of engineering is also built around physics, so I'm stuck at should I do physics for the LC even though I'm not good in maths?

    I had to get grinds to get me through the JC, and came out with a C in higher maths.
    I found it very hard to understand the maths in Transition year, and I'm pretty sure I failed the end of year exam. I was getting lower than 30% on all the class tests I took. But, I did get probably the WORST teacher.

    I was going to drop down to pass maths, but then I found out I NEED higher.

    And I also *kind of* need physics. My subjects I picked for LC already are: Biology, Chemistry, Home Ec and French. I'm contemplating on switching Home Ec for Physics. BUT I don't know what to do because I find maths so hard to grasp!!

    Any suggestions guys?? Please ?
    biology or environmental sciences. Please if you want to change the world then how about organic farming? I'm not joking. Don't do what you hate follow your passion, life's precious

    I don't come from a farming background at all, so I don't think I'd be any use in this area. Nevertheless, I've got no interest in farming! :) Thanks for the suggestion, though :)

    Don't fall for the lie that you have to go straight from school to a university course. You're much better getting out in the world and finding out what you actually have a passion for.

    thanks for the advice :) I'll try to get out and explore the world of work hopefully asap
