Hey guys, I am having trouble deciding if I should keep maths advanced or drop to standard.
I just got my first HSC maths advanced mark back and got 45% for a task that weighs 10% of my internal. Would I still be able to get a band 6 and what marks would I need to achieve in the next assessments to obtain this? I am willing to do the work and study to improve in advanced. I want to do a double degree in law and science in USYD, which has advanced as a pre requisite and is one of the reasons why I want to keep advanced. But I am afraid that I might not even get the band 4 needed to even get into USYD and get an atar high enough for law. I also want to pursue science or the law degree in another university and I want to know if its beneficial for me to keep advanced since its assumed knowledge.
I have been considering dropping to standard for a long time ever since I got my prelim exam back (which was 25%) and my teacher has been telling me that standard would be better. I was top of my class when I was doing 5.2 maths in year 10 and I am wondering if the standard content is similar to the content in maths 5.2. My cohort for standard is pretty horrible as the average for the prelim exam was a 40% while advanced was around 50% so I want to know if this would negatively impact the scaling for internal marks.

) and im having a hard time trying to get into my dream course at usyd because i havent met the prerequisite. my two options are to do essentially a filler year in a different degree and transfer once i take the equivalent maths classes in uni or to do the MOOC bridging course, which is what im trying to do and wow as someone who never got past precalc i am absolutely struggling to cram this new knowledge into my head in the span of 6 weeks. if you dont do maths adv now you will probably have to learn the same content in uni anyway.
