Hi,
So this year I completed 3/4 further maths and am expecting a study score in the low to mid 40’s. I also did 5 year 11 subjects: English, literature, methods, legal studies and global politics. I am not doing well in methods and want to drop it. Unfortunately, my school’s timetable is changing next year so that we can only do a maximum of 5 subjects.
If I drop methods, I can either complete 4 subjects next year (therefore finishing with 5 3/4’s) and have a free block where I can make sure that I am doing amazing in my other subjects, or I can try and pick up a subject at 3/4 level, therefore finishing with 6 subjects. The problem with the latter option is that I can’t find any subjects I want to pick up, since I need to be interested in a subject in order to do well. The only one I would like to pick up is History of Revolutions (but I don’t know if I can get in because the class is full) but I’m worried that the workload may be too much and won’t be worth the 10% increment.
My dream uni course requires a 90 ATAR, so which option would be best:
- 4 subjects (5 in total) + a free block that I can use to maximise my scores in other subjects
- 5 subjects (6 in total) so that I can get a 10% increment for the 6th subject
Will only completing 5 subjects in total hinder my chances of getting a 90?
Thanks so much
