Hi there!

I currently do 12 units:

English Standard - currently 3rd out of around 50. Mid-high 80's
Modern - =1(will drop to 2nd after trials (which are taking place as we speak!!). Mid-High 80's.
Business Studies - 5th out of 34. Mid-High 80's.
Legal - 7th out of 16 (expected to jump up after trials). Low 80's.
History Ext - 1st out of 2 (yes we are a class of two people). I got 4 out of 5 for case study (is that good?) and I have just handed the project in (for the German historians it was on Sonderweg). I'm expecting an 'ok' mark, hopefully something 80+. My trials are next monday and are 5 marks out of the total 50 (the case project being a whopping 40 marks out of the 50).
SOR 1U - =2nd out of 40 or so students (probs a bit less). This will drop to =3rd or 4th after Trials. In the 90's. Expecting this mark to drop perhaps to high 80's.
and Geography... = 10/12. My worst subject. I hate it. I have my trial exam tomorrow... I'm sitting on 76.

School Rank: 102

So. Should I drop GEO and Keep SOR and History Ext. How hard will it to get Band 6 (Or just a good mark) for SOR?/ E4 (Highest band for History Ext) - I'm prepared to work hard. Also... An ATAR estimate would be great. Thoughts / comments would be much appreciated.

Note: I'm writing this BEFORE I get my trials back (stupid, I know but I really cbf studying for Geo). I feel I have done well in most of my trials, so there will probs not be any major changes.

Thanks in advance.
Happily,
Will.

Btw, I need an ATAR of 75 for teaching (easy, me thinks) at MacqU. I may go to Sydney but my Teacher says MacqU has a better history dept.

You already know the answer to this, drop Geo! You'll be much happier, just make sure you put the work into history extension because the exams are ridiculously difficult, far harder than geography, but then it seems you enjoy extension more.
ATAR, mid-high 80s id say?
Good luck in trials :)

To be honest, I'm not doing SOR but it's probably the easiest subject from all the ones you a to attain a B6.

If you're not enjoying geo and not doing well in it then drop it
