Im in year 11 now, and im doing accelerated 2 unit math this year and accelerated SOR. I don't know if I should do 3 unit math though. My aim is for a 99.6+ ATAR, but Im also doing these subjects next year:
English Adv, English Ext 1, English Ext 2, Legal, Ancient, History Extension, Accelerated SOR.

With all those units, is doing Ext Math worth it? I heard it really time consuming as well, also math isn't my strongest subject and i dont want to get into a math related course in uni (I want to do law) . Say if i get say 95+ this year when I do Advanced (2unit) , should I keep my mark and concentrate on my other subjects for the HSC year? I want to keep my options open, so maybe I should decide after i get the results from Accelerated SOR this year?

Thanks for the advice :monkey:

That's only 10 or 11 units (not sure how much SOR is)

I think you should go for it, it will help you in 2U at least. Drop later on if it gets too much.

EDIT: I can't read/count. If you're doing well in 2U, yes, it's worth it. Decent scaling - will help you achieve your ATAR aim.

Hmm, SOR is 1 unit, but in total its 12 units in total (couting 2 unit math) , if i pick ext 1 is 13 units altogether.

Thanks for the advice and yeah your right, it will help me with 2 unit so i can't loose i guess, i'll probably do it xD

EDIT BACK: Fair enough. I recon i am doing pretty good in 2 unit atm. Hmm Yeah i probably will do Ext 1 - Thanks for the help btw :)
