No point in dropping ext. 1 math (btw its not really that hard once you get whats going on) as it won't count towards your ATAR if you get a horrid mark in it. Just keep it see how you do or else you will regret dropping it.

my classmates are crazy, those who are at the top for 3U are doing 4U maths, so that is why im topping 2U. I dont try hard for 3U because i thought i got no chance of coming first anyways.... I just want to know the possibilities of getting a 90+ ATAR without doing an extension course LOL.
Do you know anyone who got that?

Lol I know countless people with 90+ doing no extensions. And a considerable amount getting 95+. Oh and there's a BOSer that's sometimes around that got 99.85 with no extensions.
