    Is it worth keeping 12 units or should I drop a subject?

    I'm currently struggling to decide between keeping 12 units or dropping to at least 11 units. I was thinking of dropping SOR2 to SOR1, but the ATAR contribution of SOR2 is very good if I get a band 6. However, doing 12 units means I will be doing 20% more work than required. In contrast, I...

    I feel like I may have screwed myself over a bit- more want some advice lol

    Yeah so basically at the end of Year 11 I was really conflicted on my subjects, especially with Earth and Environmental Science which I was doing well in because I thought it would be detrimental in terms of ATAR contribution due to its alleged horrid scaling. Thus, I decided to pick up 4u math...

    I need advice on whether to drop physics or software design and development.

    You don't need to worry about your subjects being helpful in your future degree/course (unless it is a prerequisite) - but considering the information you've provided it seems that you are more interested in physics so perhaps you should consider dropping software in that case
