If I want to pick up 4 u maths then is it unwise that I do 12 units total for the HSC?

Especially if I'm doing not so well in one of my subjects.

How confident are you with 3u?
It's probably better you stick with 12 units maybe, just for the first term. If you think that subject is really dragging you down, then drop it.

You can drop anytime in year 12 so remember that.

I'm alright at 3U.

I should probably do that, thanks.

Start of year 12 I was on 11 units with ext 2 maths (school made us do advanced maths and 1-unit ext1 until we were sure about ext 2). Ended up dropping ext2 because my english marks were suffering- very glad I made this decision and am happy with my 10 units.

Many people (peers, parents, teachers) advised me against 10 units but its the best decision i could have made for year 12 because I can ace all my subjects... so basically make the right decision for you and what you feel confident in- But I think first term try and do 12 units just in case :)

I'd wait until you are a bit further into your HSC before making a decision. If you are doing significantly worse in one subject and you are carrying 12 units, then it is not really worth keeping it.

What are you getting, course averages + ranking in what school?
Really just depends on the effort sometimes.
