Hey, currently I do 3 math, 3 eng, chem, physics and eco. I'm picking up 4 unit math next year. So I dunno whether to drop physics or eco? Chem I'm definitely keeping.
Also I'm scared of doing just 11 units in case I stuff something up...Should I pick up 4 english for the sake of doing 12 units? I'm average at it.

PLEASE HELP!!

if i were you, i wouldnt take 4 units of eng. cos its way too risky. you might write a really good major work that your teachers might like, but if the markers dont like it then your whole eng mark is all screwed up

+1, doing English 4 unit requires natural talent.

your teachers may be a little kinder towards your work, then the marker, stick with 3, and as you are doin 4 unit maths, ur atar can easily reach 99.95!

which one do you enjoy more/find more interesting?
you don't want to get to the final exam and not be able to face your study notes.

i did 11 units too.

drop economics.

physics has pracs and better topics and more fun.
physics should compliment mechanics in 4 unit maths.
in fact, what are your career prospects?

Yeah, Physics is fun!
Pretty much everyone except me in the Physics class does 4U, it'll really help you excel in the mathematics component of the subject.

I did 4U and I swear, it's such a big time killer.
Like others have said, it's highly subjective and the teacher didn't like anything I wrote. >_>

Are you allowed to do 13 units?
I did that last year and it was manageable. Strangely, I still got lots of free periods.

Why not keep both eco and phys for about a term then go from there? personally i prefer eco > phys at this stage.. but im dropping business even tho its one of my highest marks... too boring and low scaling
