One of my friends did that. She did 4U maths, 4 English and 2U Religion. She said that having heaps of study periods helped, though the morning classes for 4U maths and 4U English were a pain =/

Did she accelerate something? You have to do four subjects.

But people have done it, Shadowdude springs to mind immediately.

Pretty sure you need at least four subjects for the HSC.

OP, I do both extensions. It's not a big deal, quite a lot of people around me do it.

nope, only counts as 3 because they're extensions, not completely new subject areas.

Not recommended imo unless you've done an accelerated the year before. 12 units with extension 2 doesn't sound very good to me.

But if you can, it's great I guess

Use your brain lol, if youre counting each unit as a separate subject then a minimum of 4 subjects would only make up a maximum of 8 units (4 2-unit subjects) and you need 10 for your HSC. Obviously ext 2 math is just 1 subject not 3..

Just because they're "extension 2" doesn't mean you should be scared of them. If you're good at english and maths, then you'll find them just as easy as any other subject. This is especially the case because in english ex2 if you enjoy your topic you'll cruise through it.

Get 4U English done in the summer holidays, revise it over the following year. But you have to work on 4U religiously.

Nah it's fine. My sister did 13 units in total 4U English and 3U Math-so many people do MX2 with 12 units.

Yeah, I'm doing both Extension 2's.

I'm doing MX2, EX2, Phys and Chem. For me, EX2 simply becomes a retreat from the numbers, calculations and sheer objectivity that my other subjects like to flood me with. If anything, having a retreat like this makes life a lot easier and a helluva lot less stressful.
