But economics pwns all.

But what about Japanese Continuers? Does that scale more than Physics? I don't know which of the two i should drop. I was playing around on SAM before and it looks as if I can get a higher UAI by getting 90 on Physics and getting 90 in Japanese Cont.

PDHPE or Chemistry - we'll have to see for marks at the end of the year - at the moment my mark for PDHPE is 90% (rank equal 1/18) and Chemistry is 83% (rank 4/18ish). Which should I drop based on performance?? I know Chemistry has scaled very well in the years past with people at my school getting 90+ UAIs with high 70's in Chemistry, but I'm not sure - PDHPE is definitely a strength for me.

my guess is legal studies scales better but I am not sure...

hmm... do whichever one you like more as it seems marks won't stop you from doing either...

Indefinitely dropping Extension 1 English, and taking Extension 2 Maths! I would drop legal studies as well, but 10 units is much too risky
