Generally, these two majors have relatively few requirements for G12 courses, so there is more flexibility in elective course selection. When choosing courses, you can consider subjects you excel in and find easy to learn, such as business courses, social science courses, art courses, and so on.
| In cases where most of the required courses have already been determined, there might be limited room for elective courses in STEM fields. At such times, it's advisable to choose some relatively easier elective courses to boost your overall GPA. |
