Would you recommend doing English Adv, Maths Adv, Business services, Economics and Business studies? I'm just afraid of my two semi low scaling subjects which are Business studies and Business services, but I've been told my careers advisor that scaling isn't important if you do well in a subject. I also believe that because Business studies and services are semi easy, I can achieve a higher mark than in other high scaling subjects which would result in a higher atar.

Other than the atar, think what course do you want to do in uni. The subjects you use choose and their link to your potential future career is more important than the scaling
Just adding onto that no subject combination is like recommended. Everything you choose just needs to depend on that future uni degree goal and what are your strengths. For example someone who wants to do medicine they should be doing biology chemistry subjects while someone who wants to do economics at uni should be doing the humanities subjects
I would like to do economics in UNI.
Yes then the subjects you are doing are relevant to that and should be fine. Just make sure you keep maths advanced and don’t drop general as I am pretty sure on most economics courses you have maths advanced as a pre requisite
Why shouldn't I do business services?
SAME SUBJECT MARK, Economics mark 91 = Atar 94.50
Same SUBJECT MARK AS ABOVE, Business services 91 = 93.40
There isn't a significant difference, also you'd be able to get a higher mark in business services due to it being easier.
