[wendus]

you can maybe start off with 14 but i'd defs recommend you start dropping some a few weeks into year 12.

 

[zdzislaw]

If it was me I'd drop 2U or chem.

After picking up Extension 2 English, drop two subjects. Less subjects = more time to focus on each.

 

[ixsamanthaxi]

honestly 14 is a waste of time if only 10 are counted it makes all the difference having those extra studys and time to devote to a more focused routine. you will get amazing marks if you focus on what is really needed with 14 you waste 4 units of hard work!

honestly i think you should use your future plans as a guide find the prerequites for courses you would be interested in and out of the ones that hav no further study need elimate one or even 2 (back ups are for ppl that doubt their efforts)

goodluck

14 is crazy, unless you're very very organised and want to spend your whole year in your room. =)

i'd drop the maths, since you seem to be doing very well in all your other subjects.

i know but i know i can do it, and i think fuzzy 09 can too, but i'm goign to wait til first assesment task then go from there (so most liekly maths)

 

[chltmddus112]

I'd keep all subjects since maths is like... recommended subject for almost all courses in uni.

 

[Aplus]

Definitely too much of a workload. You're carrying unnecessary subjects which would only give you less time to study on your most important subjects.

 

[ratcher0071]

Think about it:
14 units you're gonna do
-10 units for an UAI
= 4 units of waste !!!!
= hours of time you could have spend on the other subjects

I like this formula

 

[kaz1]

See how you go next year and drop the subjects you aren't doing good in.

 

[jellybelly59]

I don't think it's too much as long as you are able to have a VERY good timetable which can balance out all your time for your work and you can actually stick to it and work like crazy. If not then I think 14 units would be too much to handle.

 

[marcquelle]

well i'm trying to organise my timetable so that my EE2 lessons are early mornings so i can have 2 free periods a week (like their really going to be "free" lol) to make my life a bit easier

if not bye bye life *locks self in room becomes narcisstic*

i don't know about fuzzy09

 

[avgust90]

well id recommend droppn something... also did 14 units but it was a bit too time consuming.. so i dropped extension 1 and 2 english... personally i think its better 2 have 12 units.. that way if u dnt do as well in one u alwajs have another as a back up... up 2 u though.. if u can handle it go for it.. good luck =]

 

[marcquelle]

the thing is all my subjects are required as prerequiste for unis in australia and usa so i kinda to have to have everything so :S just have to try and make do if not bye bye geo or ee2
