LOL... you're a funny one amisha_amisha.
and i must say, my choices are very similar to yours. I am dropping chemistry, not business, however i struggled with this decision a lot.
And like YOU, i am picking up History Extension, and doing 4 UNIT English for year 12. 11 units for me too! =] :)

Is it Term 3 or the start of Term 4 that we get to choose whether or not we're going to pick up Extension subjects?

towards the end of term 3 your school probably will ask what your subjects will be next year and all.

I don't know whether to drop Adv Maths or Chemistry. I'm failing Maths but I know if I dropped to General I'd probably get decent marks. I'm only getting 70s and 80s in Chem at the moment. I also don't know whether or not I'd be insane to do 4U English and 3U History...

really depends on you i guess. if youre more humanities based you can just drop chem and maths altogether and pick up EE2 and Ext Hist?

Nope. I didn't actually get what that part was on about: dropping to general what?







...








I dropped Ancient History, picked up extension 2 maths and extension German, then I dropped extension German again. Leaving me with 11 units.

Not picking up anything but will be dropping a subject. I'm just not sure what yet ..

You guys who are dropping chem are crazy ! Chem = <3 ! But yeah .. it does get a bit confusing .. but i love it.

Should I drop physics, ipt or engineering ? I want IPT because it's relatively easy and gives me some space from all thos demanding subjects but then physics and engineering go together alongside chem so well ! ><" ahhh ..

I'm quite the reverse. I want to pick up MX2 and History extension and drop CApps. I don't know whether or not I should go with 11 or 13 units.

lol, I'm trying to decide between 10 units or 12. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. =/

Kinda like me. I'm coming 2nd in Chemistry but its the subject most likely that I'll drop if I decide to go with 11 units.

Yeah... I'm coming first in legal by miles and find it really really easy but I almost fall asleep in class, how does legal scale compared to say economics?

Shit. But that's in comparison to Eco, which scales heaps.

lol I'm like coming third last in Legal 'cause I screwed up the last (big) part in the half-yearly. :( I did decently in all the other assessments! fuckers.

So eco has really good scaling compared to legal?

argh...

I don't care about the whole "pick subjects you enjoy most" because i despise all of my subjects even though they areas i'm interested in, maybe i'll just keep them all then.
