Is doing 10 units going to lower my atar (1 Viewer)

[nancyb]

I recently dropped extension 1 maths and business studies because I just found them both difficult not only that I just wasn't motivated when I was in year 11 to even study for them. But I have heard doing only ten units can make it risky for my atar. I am aiming for an 80 atar and want to go university.
I am even doing low scaled subjects which also may lower my atar

PDHPE
Ancient history
Maths (2 units)
Biology
English ( standard)

Does anyone know if it is possible with these subjects to get a high atar ??

Just study hard for ur exams and u should be fine.. 10 units just means no slacking off cause u have no "safety-net". And yes, it's possible to get a high atar with ur subjects.

Standard English will

80 ATAR is achievable and you could surprise yourself with how much potential you have with those subjects, take it this way though I did 11 units and I did Extension English, I gave it my all and I got 44/50 but it didn't even count... With 10 units you at least know everything is going to count so give every one of your subjects 100% effort.

It's possible.

If you get good marks for all of them you won't have any issue achieving a high atar. I had fairly poor scaling subs and still managed to go respectably well.

My advice would be to try and ace standard eng as much as possible. I got 87 which is quite difficult and it still dragged my atar down. Only 40ish people in the state get a b6 for standard so just try your best.
