Wing the exams.

You're in year 11. If your school isn't stupid and says "IF U DUN GET 95+ U CANT DO EXTENSHUN" then just revise a tiny bit and do whatever. Just start studying hard in year 12 when it matters.

As you get older they actually hit you less, well in my case.

I think you should just do the one you have more notes on...
Also if you finish advanced at least you'll have one complete advanced essay rather than an incomplete advanced and incomplete extension. I have Asian parents and if you show them you tried really really hard maybe they'll let you off...maybe

drop extension if you dont really need it. this is no freak event. im sure that advanced and extension will conflict in the hsc too. if you plan on doing only one extension subject (english) then drop it - in the long run it wont be worth it will get worse.

if you must continue with it, maybe tell the school to give your parents a chill pill.
its only prelim - better fixed/dropped now than in the hsc.
