考虑服用HSC化学，但不确定这是怎么回事？
您会发现，当您试图挑选主题时，很多人会试图说服他们将要做什么，而不是最适合您的事情。
That means there’s a whole lot of “information” floating out there that’s quite wrong.
So what is HSC Chemistry actually about? Here’s a few thing you may have heard about Chemistry that aren’t 100% true.
误解1：我对此的数学不够好！
Myth #2: Chemistry is boring
误解3：化学无用
Myth #4: You can only work in scientific research
Myth #5: It’s all just about atoms
误解1：我对此的数学不够好！
您是否在7 - 10年之间的某个时候通过了任何数学测试？您可以使用计算器吗？恭喜！您在数学上足够好！
HSC Chemistry is very light on maths, not really requiring anything beyond multiplication and division. And you don’t need to remember any numbers because everything is provided on your data sheet in the exam!
请记住，大学级化学的基于数学的基础要多得多，因此，如果您打算使用化学的未来，那么掌握数学可能会在您的未来待办事项列表中。
Myth #2: Chemistry is boring
显然这是一个味道,但有一个问题lot more to chemistry than just the periodic table!
PRAC的工作绝对是最好的部分 - 很酷的事情，例如使用冷却时会改变颜色的某些化学物质的工作，这会让您感觉像巫师。
不要相信我，看看下面的视频。化学很酷！
误解3：化学无用
Well, precisely how useful does depend on where you’re going in life but I guarantee it’ll be a least a little handy. But consider these questions:
- 如果您在烹饪时不小心将油溅到顶部，为什么不应该将其放入洗衣机中？
- Why does a Mentos explode when it comes in contact with Coca-Cola?
- Why is there fluoride in Australian tap water, and why is it good for us?
Knowing how everything诸如电池和洗涤剂之类的物品工作并了解更广泛的社会政治问题，例如臭氧洞和酸雨，永远不会误入歧途，并帮助我们做出有根据的决定。
Plus cooking is essentially chemistry – how can you混合三种成分，将它们全部粘在微波炉中，然后制作一个邪恶的布朗尼？化学。在学习化学方面，您可能会意外成为MasterChef！
Myth #4: You can only work in scientific research
Au contraire! Chemists and chemical engineers are some of the most highly paid positions in the broader STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) market (second to pure mathematicians, oddly).
Virtually all types of engineering, any sort of experimental physics as well as careers in medicine and pharmacology all require fundamental chemistry. To say nothing of all the applied chemistry positions available! (Personally, I study forensic chemistry – the science of using physical evidence to solve crimes.)
On top of this all, universities are increasingly focused on interdisciplinary degrees – where you have two degrees to expand your knowledge.
For example, Macquarie University has a Bachelor of Science with a Bachelor of Laws. It is designed specifically for those who want to have scientific knowledge to compliment a legal focus or vice-versa in having legal knowledge to compliment a scientific focus. Professions from this include being an environmental lawyer, city planner or scientific patent lawyer!
The more you have to sell, the better!
Myth #5: It’s all just about atoms
Aside from the fact you are atoms, there’s a lot more to chemistry than just that!
显然，一切都在某个时候恢复了原子水平，但您将了解化学生产，环境管理和材料生产的工艺过程。
I bet you never knew how much thought went into plastic bottles – but that’s all chemistry too! Understanding the world around us helps us to make educated decisions – once you know how plastic bottles are made, you’ll understand why it’s better to purchase and reuse a glass bottle instead!
Moreover, chemistry is a science, and by default, it comes with a excellent set of “soft skills” – general abilities without a specific career leaning.
Examples might be expressing yourself in writing (like you learn in English) or evaluating reliability of information (like choosing good sources for history). You’ll learn skills about first-hand investigation as well critical thinking – and these are just two things you will always find handy!
So there you have it – hopefully this’ll clear up any issues you’ve been having trying to get a straight answer about chemistry.

Matt Saundersis a huge nerd who first got into writing through fanfiction. He’d known science was the path for him since a young age, and after discovering a particular love of bad chemistry jokes (and chemistry too), he’s gone onto to study Forensic Chemistry at UTS. His HSC in 2014 was defined in equal parts by schoolwork and stagecraft, which left him, weirdly enough, with a love of Maths strong enough to inspire him to tutor any level, along with 7-10 Science and HSC Chemistry.
