I'm currently doing 11 units, and my one unit is Studies of Religion 1. Should I drop it and have ten units and more time to focus on other subjects or keep it so I have a backup unit? I don't exactly love it, but I don't hate it either it's just a bit...boring, especially with my teacher not being spectacular. I did okay in my prelim exam, 80%, and around that mark in my other assessments. i dont know if this mark with scaling is good enough to even help me if I did keep it, so idk... pls help. Thanks!

it's best to do 9 units because there is less of a workload. hope this helps!

Nah I do 12 units and honestly its a godsend, because I'm good at all of them and it decreases the margin of error, you literally have a whole subject that you can bomb and get saved. With 11 units it matters on how good you are at the subject and if you like it. If both these criteria aren't met then just drop the subject

depends on your subjects mate. if you're doing e2 subjects, you're not gonna have much time to work on another 11/10 units.

10, saving 1/2 rotten units with 11 units is not worth it, if u are already below 12 units just full send 10

was thinking the same cause I currently have (or will have after next week) 12 units, But I also do 4u maths. I dunno if the extra subject/workload (PDHPE) is worth it.
