To ex-year 12's who did really well (99+ atar), did you take 10 units or more? (1 Viewer)

Just wondering who did really well and took 10 units? Because I'm thinking of dropping to 10 units because I don't particularly think I can do well in one of my subjects so it won't end up counting anyway.. :S

So to those crazy geniuses, do you think 10 units is better or 12?

It doesn't really make much difference if you look from a purely statistical point of view. I know quite a few people who got 99.95- out of those, its pretty evenly split between those who did 10 units and those who did more (just thinking off my head, I think there are a few more with more than 10 but that's just my recollection- could well be wrong). The point is, its a personal choice that depends on your situation- if something defs won't count because you're way worse in it than other stuff, then drop it. If not and it doesn't take up heaps of time, keep it as a backup.

Personally, I did 12 units
