^+2 to that. I can't even remember what subject I was going to drop first really originally...I'd hazard to say it was maths (don't bash me guys lol) but that was extremely fleeting, then it was bio (unthinkable now) also extremely fleeting, then modern (teacher+class ergh) before settling on eco for the rest/majority of prelim. Prior to this, I was all like Eco's gonna be my best subject, never gonna drop it etc. I choose it over French so I'm going to keep it.
For the start of HSC, I felt so bad for going to drop eco, new teacher was so good but I was all determined to not be swayed by what teachers I had for each. Long story short, decided to drop it because I wanted to try Ext Eng 2 (Liked to do it) and His Ext (some interest, but mainly because it was thought I'd be really good at it). Dropped eco from bad prelim experience of being dry and it was my worst non needed sub (math and chem pre req).Then dropped His Ext because I found it tiresome and draining being late in afternoon. Also didn't like how the project was internal assessment only, esp when you could actually do a great project, but your cohort not so well on the test BAM internal mark killed also.
