[AbaKaan]

Should i do 10 units or 12 units????
10 is less work, but is it risky????
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

10. There is a small element of risk.

But there is a greater risk with 12 in that you risk wasting time on units you don't need when you can spend it on units you do need.

So 10.

Well if you read through the thread that was literally 2 spots below this one...

Nothing wrong with 10 Units, gives you more time to concentrate on what you're best at and potentially a better ATAR because of it.

12 is fine. Nothing wrong with that, most people end up wasting their free periods anyway. Just do what you can handle and if you reckon you would benefit from the extra time you get from 10 units go for it. Just remember that you lose the "safety net" 2 units if you screw up. Just gotta weigh the benefits and risks and make up your own mind as to whether its worth it in the end.

Everyone screws up once in a while, gives you a backup just in case. Also, your 12th Unit may be something that you're just innately good at so you don't end up rearranging a significant amount of time studying it for a decent mark which was the case for me doing biology.

Or, you could man up and take 12.

Jokes

Do whatever you feel more comfortable with - if you want to concentrate on your 10 best units that you're absolutely sure you'll do well in.. go and do that.

Wrong. Get rid of VA/Bus and put in Senior Science and Community and Family Studies. Also Eng Std for the win.

it's not like using your free periods to buy an extra back-up subject cos you spend much more time than that. plus not "many" ppl on bos waste study periods

Bullcrap

If you are smart and motivated 10 units should be ok, as long as you chose subjects for sound reasons, there is nothing wrong with having 12 units either but 13 to 14 is pushing it abit unless they are extension subjets you are just trying out. I think you should choose the subjects you enjoy that way your final years of schooling will be fun. However year 12 isnt as bad as its made out to be I know its stressful but you'll look back to now and wonder why you thought it was such a big deal! If you enjoy and achieve well and 10 units you'll be fine even if you stuff up a assessment but 12 units isnt such a bad workload either. Its not such an important decision just go with your gut and focus on enjoying your last year of schooling.
