14 units- which subjects to drop for HSC? (1 Viewer)

[Dianaaa]

Currently, im doing 14 units :
- advanced english
- mathematics
- 2 unit studies of religion
- biology
- legal studies
- modern greek continuers
- modern history

I'm really unsure what to do for hsc.
I was thinking of dropping to 1 unit of religion (re is compulsory at my school) and picking up extention greek and then dropping either modern or maths.

which subjects will scale me the highest? im doing pretty alright in all my subjects. is the scaling for extention greek good?

opinions?

I'd drop bio. To me it's a boring old subject that doesn't scale so well.

But you should drop whichever one you're performing the worst at. Which is that?

its pointless to have 12 unless you love all 12 and are aiming for your best in those 12. if you dislike one but keep it as a back up, it takes the passion and drive away from your favourite 10.

honestly. fuck scaling. when you enjoy something, you perform well, and should be able to break the 85+ barrier which as a rule, minimises the effect of scaling.

greek will scale you best off the top of my head (ill try and find the scaling guide) but you generally have good subjects that if you enjoy, you should excell in to minimise the effect of scaling.

which do you like more, from maths or modern? modern history is one of my very favourites. have you considered extension history if youre a bit of a history nut? what about bio and legal?

go with what feels best for you. what are you aiming at in the future? what uni course? jobs? trades? travel?

Namu has a really good guide on the scaling of most subjects:

I think legal scales the shittest out of your subjects. So if you want high scaling subject you can drop legal.
