Grade 9, 10 or 11 · still exploring

The subjects you pick now decide which doors stay open.

You're early — and that's the advantage. Tell the Desk what pulls you and it shows which university and college doors each subject choice keeps open, and which ones quietly close without Maths or a science.

  • Not sure what you want yet
  • Want to keep options open
Why it matters

The subjects you lock in around Grade 9 quietly decide which university and college doors stay open three years later — long before anyone mentions applications.

  • Take Maths Literacy instead of Maths and most engineering, science and commerce doors close — often without anyone saying so.
  • By Grade 12 it’s usually too late to undo a subject choice made in Grade 9.
  • A career that’s a perfect fit is useless if you’ve never heard of it.

How it works
  1. 1

    Tell it what pulls you

    Subjects you like, careers you’re curious about — no commitment.

  2. 2

    See which doors each subject keeps open

    The Desk maps subject choices to the university and college doors they protect.

  3. 3

    Keep your options open

    Spot the doors that quietly close without Maths or a science — before it’s too late.

For example

Say you’re in Grade 10, unsure what you want, but you like biology and building things.

  1. Tell the Desk what pulls you — it maps those interests to real careers and the subjects they need.
  2. It shows which doors each subject choice keeps open, and which quietly shut without Maths or a science.
  3. An eligibility preview switches on in Grade 11, so you can see where you stand as you go.

You choose subjects on purpose — keeping the widest set of futures open, instead of closing them by accident.

Illustrative — a hypothetical, not a real user.

Questions
I’m only in Grade 9 or 10 — is it too early?

The opposite — choosing subjects now is exactly when it matters most. A full eligibility preview switches on in Grade 11.

Do I need to know what I want?

No. It’s built for exploring — browse careers and doors with zero pressure.

Is this really built?

Yes — the subjects board and doors run on the live Explorer and Planner Desks, not illustrations.
