Nah, wouldn't cope man with Adv English, but I'm really interested in English though. I'm probably picking 2 Science subjects and Agriculture if I make it into Hurlstone Agriculture High School.

Thank you guys for your replies! It really means a lot. The thing is, I just got my head into the studying habit. I nearly broke down the other day because I couldnt do a Math exam which I studied my shit off for. So I'm kind of worried that it will happen again with these 3 subjects.
I love Chemistry, I passed ALL of my exam on Chemistry topic for year 10. I love it, even I watch Breaking Bad haha. As for Physics, I want to do it so I can become an Engineer in the army. Whereas, Biology I'm having second thoughts. There's no other subjects I want to do. If I drop Biology in year 12, I will only have 9 Units left.

I'm doing Ext 1 Math btw, and Standard English. By all means doing 3 Sciences, is there any advice you guys offer me? (Please don't say, if you love it, you will do well GAHAHA). Should I buy the notes on this website? I need advice on managing time each week. I feel like blowing my brains out knowing for a fact, that my mother wants to enrol me into tutoring for Chemistry and Physics. Will my social life be gone? Will I wear myself out doing these 3 Sciences?

Physics and chemistry isn't as hard as they make it out to be in year 11, since you are just learning a few basic concepts and revising on junior years; it's arguable that english becomes harder than both chemistry and physics since they introduce AOS, mod a, b and c which forces students to delve into different perspectives of a text. - in saying that, if you can - study english advance.
If you break down in a maths exams EVEN after studying your butt off, I highly recommend you to reconsider taking maths extension 1. Year 10 mathematics 5.3 course is only basic 2U work and isn't remotely close to the syllabus you study in extension 1 mathematics and if you struggle in year 10, I don't think you will have a good time in year 11.
Your social life wont be gone. Balancing tutor, good grades and a social life is a challenge but it IS necessary to have all three. If you over-do yourself on tutoring, your social life will be gone and so will your good grades; so you will wear yourself out. The same goes for if you over-do a social life.

If you are good at science then yes?

I would say Advanced/Standard are of similar 'hardness'. I mean they share 40% (Area of Study) of the same course.

Plus Advanced aligns a lot better....

You can always drop to Standard... if you find Advanced to difficult

Do Advanced

Getting a band 6 in Standard English is almost impossible. It seems like it is easier to get a good HSC mark in Advanced English compared to Standard English. Go Advanced

0.04% get band 6

Exactly!! It may change next year with the change in syllabus, but I don't think one should take the risk.[emoji4]
