I heard latin scales quite well (very alike specialist math), but the problem is I never had any experience with it.
So will I struggle and ultimately fail?

I think if you're genuinely interested in Latin, go ahead. However, if you're thinking of doing it just for scaling, I think you'd be better off doing something you're more interested in (:

No. Never do a subject for the scaling. Do you think you'd enjoy it? Would you pick it if it didn't scale? Do you have the time to dedicate to learning a whole language?

Hey mate, some advice from someone who has completed vce latin:
If your only reason for taking latin is for the scaling, then DON'T. It will soon become very dry and dull for you and the scaling won't be worth and you'll be far better off doing a subject you actually enjoy or something more useful.
A lot of students don't have much experience with latin at first, unless you go to one of those schools that offered latin as a lote before vce.
You're quite right in saying it scales well. It's the highest scaling vce subject vcaa offers. But unless you have a legit reason for doing it, the scaling is not worth the hassle.

Thank you for your reply, I would just stick with things that I like and enjoy.
