ok i reallyyyy wanted to do 12 units at school because some way along the line i could drop a subject when i reallyyyy know what to drop.

the subjects i did in year 11:
- ext1 maths
- 2u maths
- standard english
- physics
- ipt
- sdd
- photography

the subjects for year 12 i chose are:
- 2u maths
- standard english
- physics
- ipt
- sdd
- senior science

except my school told me that i can't do senior science since it clashes with the other subject timetables and they suggested that i can keep 3u maths. i want to keep ipt and physics. im doing bad at maths but i dont want to drop 2u maths. im ranked 6/30 in sdd but i was planning to drop it in the middle of the year if it got too much for me. i actually cant program at all and im scared if i have to do a major or something that programming gets involved and i wouldnt be able to do anything, especially projects. right now im thinking maybe i should drop sdd and pick up senior science but im not sure if that's a wise move...

is there someone from past experience that can give me any advice? im really struggling to decide what to do...

IPT and SDD complement each other, i do both

where as senior science is shit and scales like shit

hope that helped :)

Definitely senior science. And don't worry about SDD, I can't program for shit, but the major seems easy enough. It's mostly just documentation which is REALLY easy. Programming is really insignificant in the major work - just make sure it works like it's supposed to.

Drop Senior Science, it's one of the worst scaling subjects, it will most likely not count towards your ATAR.
