Learning 2U or above isn't hard. I've learnt a bit of the HSC 3U course purely by videos and online guides and I do past questions with my friends at school. I dropped general maths before start of the HSC course too.

If your plan is to drop to general because 2U is too hard, then you desire take up a course in university which requires 2U (equivalent), you need to reconsider dropping it.

I suggest you go in with 12 units. Make 2U maths your 12th unit, so it's not really a matter of whether or not it will count, just make it a subject which will prepare you for university. There's no use dropping something for a year, then confronting the same thing after HSC at university with no idea of what's going on. Have your HSC year to figure it out.

If you want maths to count, I would move to General maths. If it's just there and you're fine for it to not count then go forward with 2 unit.

DROP MATHS.

at this point - you shouldn't think about which subjects will best help you succeed in uni - that comes later. MAXIMIZE your atar. Get into the course - you'll be fine. some of my mates are doing Comm - who didn't do any maths - doing fine. Some did general maths - doing fine also. Obviously if you did 3u/2u - you will find some of the content a bit easier to grasp. So what? You can learn the techniques during uni anyway. Tbh, so far in micro - only basic differentiation etc (although intuition of basic graph drawing etc and understanding of calculus differentiates the top marks). Stats- so far, just binomials etc - They teach it to you anyway


tl;dr:
drop 2u maths. Focus on other subjects, or your atar won't be enough for a good business school.

After writing all this - I realised you're in year 11. fuck. 63% overall isn't bad! you can improve on it DRAMATICALLY basically 2u = practice. keep it for a term maybe ?(get a private tutor or something if you are really struggling - tell him/her to start the course from the very very basics - you'll soon find it simple - 1 year is enough time to conquer any fucking subject - given that are you are dedicated)

Don't do 12 units if you are struggling - bad idea - waste of time/effort/life.


good luck!

general maths wouldn't help you for anything in uni, general maths is for faggots that might do law at uni where there is no maths or are going to TAFE/gettingajob after high school

No, 2 unit maths extends on some knowledge gained in year 11, while introducing some new concepts and topics.

I suppose you can drop it and maybe you can have a look at 2U during the long break?
