Hey!
I'm fairly new to this, and haven't posted before, so bear with me!
I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding on if i should do an extension history or extension 2 english.
My current subjects are (i am in year 11):
Advanced English
Ancient History
PDHPE
Biology
General Math
Business Studies
Ext 1 English

As of the start of year 12 im definitely dropping math as i cannot stand it and im hopeless at it..
Im keeping extension english because i genuinely like it and am doing well at it.. however i was offered to do extension 2 but im not sure of the workload and the hardness of it?
Also i was planning on dropping business studies and picking up extension history to fill the units up.
Is extension history worth doing and is it a bad idea to drop business studies right away or keep it until i decide wether i want to keep extension history..
Are these two ideas good or bad? I cannot decide..
Hope this hasn't confused anyone, thanks!

i would drop gen maths str8 away, however, keep business for a while, as you may want to ditch EE2 and hist ext later. I do not think EE2 is all that difficult, if you start straight away and not leave it till now to start like my mate, its just the journal thing that is a pain!

Hey, my advice here.

Ditch maths, keep business and try both EE2 and Ext History. That's what I did and I just kept the Extension I liked best.

EE2 is so open ended it as much work as you make it. Personally, it's the subject I'm not super stressed about because I just wrote a little along the way in the year so I didn't have to rush it. The assessment apart from the major work, like Viva Voce, Proposal etc. I found easy. No classes or that to take up time either, just occasional meetings if it runs like my school.

Personally I found His Ext to have a larger workload cause of the course content and the large-ish research project.

Thanks a heap guys!
Unfortunately i can't drop math until next term.. so im stuck with it for now!
I think i will get classes for extension history, i think thats what my teacher said..
I may aswell keep business for a while and let ext history take its course.
But im still contemplating Ext Eng 2..
Thanks

I'd drop the general maths. not even needed for any uni courses anyway.
