Probably 10 or 11 as well. I wish I did history so I could pick up extension...it was my best subject in Years 9 and 10...*sigh*.

I'm planning to do 11 Units, dropping Legal Studies and picking up Extension History. Legal Studies is so boring =="

I'll do 4U math, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and adv.english. Why won't you do 12 units? I'm going to keep eco, because it's so dead easy.

10 if I do average in extension maths this year (drop PDHPE or Chemistry)

11 if I do good in extension maths (drop PDHPE or Chemistry and pick up Extension 2 Maths)

11 if I do shit in extension maths (drop extension maths)

most probably will be 10 units :)

11. I reckon I'll be doing 3U maths. If I do crap this year, I'll repeat it.

If you do extension 2 maths, it's 4 units but you don't have to do the mathematics paper for HSC, just the extension 1 and 2 so how does that work?

Either 10, 11 or 12 - depends on how well I do in the subjects I guess.

8 units (dropping either Biology or Chemistry and pick up Extension 2 Mathematics) with 3 units already completed (Mathematics & Extension 1 Mathematics)

9 units (dropping either Biology or Chemistry and pick up Extension 2 Mathematics) with 2 units already completed (Mathematics & Extension 1 Mathematics)

10 units (keeping both Biology and Chemistry) with 3 units already completed (Mathematics & Extension 1 Mathematics)

11 units (keeping both Biology and Chemistry and pick up Extension 2 Mathematics) with 2 units already completed (Mathematics & Extension 1 Mathematics)

Most likely 8 units or 10 units during my HSC year. In the poll, I picked 11 units since I am doing 11 units in total (quite sure).

3U math counts as 2 Units, and 4U math counts as 2 Units too.

i want to drop legal but den ill only have 10 units and thats pretty risky. So i'll only drop legal if i end up somehow doing 4U maths. I wish my school would've put 2U r.e in another timeslot so it wouldnt clash with eco :(. If i dun think i can ope with 4U ill just stick with my current subjects making it 12 units

I don't think 4U is as hard as everybody makes it out to be. English is clearly much harder.

I don't recommend 13 Units 4 the HSC. Am doing that now, and it is heaps! Unless ur highly organised. Am planning on dropping something when I get my half-yearlies back...

That's exactly same as my best friend's subjects!

By the way, why didn't you drop few?
