Will dropping to 10 units affect my ATAR that much? (1 Viewer)

I would advise you to talk to your teachers about this - you're not giving yourself much room for error if you drop a subject. There's some good information about the ATAR in this flyer - http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/All-About-Your-ATAR.pdf

Also take a look at this for information on scaling - http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/atar/scaling-process.shtml

With your set can I strongly advise you to keep Ancient? Gen, Snr Science, Hospitality scale very poorly, and VA is still a fair bit below average.
Adv Eng and Ancient are your only decent scalers.

I decided I will keep it, and yeah, I know most of the subjects I've chosen aren't good scalers (which is why I'm freaking out) but I chose the subjects that I was good at and that would help me, so since I'm ranked first in every single subject I suppose it was the right choice.

Ok, If you don't like your subject don't do it! I absolutely hate Ancient History and I'm dropping it immediately. The only bad thing is if you bomb out in one of your subjects then you don't have another subject to back up on... I'm willing to take the risk because I believe I'll be able to go really well in all my subjects anyways. Doing 10 units doesn't affect your ATAR but if you screw up in a subject that's when it'll affect it.
