i choose 3u math because maths lowkey gives me satisfaction when i do well, because i feel like if i apply myself i can actually do well, as a subject, it just really interests me. i also go to private tutoring 3 days a week, 1 hour sessions for maths. 3u english, because i go to a fully selective school, the bare minimum option is advanced english, and after deciding on all my other subjects, i had the option of choosing an extra unit of english, which may help me gain some actual skills for the hsc or doing a filler subject like SLR and then dropping in yr 12. i go english tutoring and am pretty alright when i lock in ig for english. phys, chem, ive wanted to do 2 sciences, they scale very well, i know its very hard but I want to put in the effort. and eco of course, i enjoy learning about business and money related topics, as well as understanding the financial world.

i know that if i end up choosing these subjects, its gonna be a grind, but if i really show a interest and put in the work, i believe it will be rewarding too. do you have any suggestions in terms of anything i should change/ recommendations. thanks.

BTW: my school only allows you to do 12 units for year 11, no more no less (you can do 13 if you have special approval but its extremely hard and a pain to get)
If you think you can do it, putting all the effort in and all. Then go for it!

Y'all my gp kicked my mum out of the room and had a "confidential chat" with me T-T
I was starting to tear up, and probably would've cried if she had asked more questions.

Nah fr. I cry even if my parents or someone else raise their voice. I hate that abt myself, cuz I can never get what I wanna say across. So I end up keeping my opinions and stuff to myself and follow whatever said, which makes things even worse and then I end up crying abt my whole life as random episodes, alone. Ig I was shocked when my GP asked me questions relating to this type of stuff.

Sry lol you didn't ask for this.

It's okay you don't have to.

I'm thinking of doing advanced maths, advanced English, business studies, economics, hams and investigative science but I'm not sure if I should bump up to ext 1 maths or go down to standard English? I get like 80-85% on every test in every main subject

Personally i always recommend ppl to go ext if they think they can do it bc u can always drop down but never go up so if u think ur able to cope w ext maths then go for it n then drop it if its not what u though it was
Also for eng i think the same keep adv then drop down to standard if u cant cope w the workload (put in mind that ur allowed to drop levels throughout the yr not subjects eg u can drop from adv to standard mid term 2 but cant drop bio (eg))

but thats just me i recommend u gather more opinions then make ur final judgement

It took me a minute to figure out what hams was I was like food lol??
I say stick to advanced eng, I'm kinda failing and my teacher said I could go to advanced so yh. You can always drop down if it's too much.
If you are performing in the 90% for math then do ext 1. Dont do it just for the sake of it, unless you need it for uni or smth.

I'm good at maths I get at least 80% on tests, but I don't know if that's gonna be good enough for ext 1 so I have to think about it or maybe put in more effort with studying
