I do 13 units so far and I really want to drop a subject to minimise my work load. My course marks are as follows:

Adv English: 86%
General Maths: 80%
Chemistry: 76%
Business: 86%
Eco: 94%
Modern: 85%
History extension: Half yearly mark was 18/25

Im leaning either maths/chem/h. ext
Which units do you think would most likely count to my atar?

Is it true that chemistry would get scaled a bit higher than maths?

Chem actually scales a lot higher than general maths
and imo general maths wouldn't count for that reason.

If it's purely based on the subject that won't count towards you ATAR, drop general maths. But if there's a subject that you hate, drop that instead. You're less likely to be able to consistently study for it throughout the HSC.

Imo, I don't think gen maths and history extension will count (or one unit of business studies)

Does the rank of your school fluctuate a lot?
If it doesn't maybe look at past external performances of previous cohorts'

But I'd think history extension or general mathematics will not count :O

We really need ranks in order to make a clear judgement - marks can mean anything.
