Dropping out of a DECV Subject

[cohen]

I just emailed my teacher then about seeing if i was able to drop the subject or not, but he wont email back until tomorrow

So, my question is.

I wish to drop my distance ed subject (Software Development.) This will be my 7th subject, which I just discovered won't count towards my atar ( ), and i feel by dropping this subject, i can utilize my time on my primary 6 subjects, instead of this subject.

So, is it possible to still drop subjects, even though we're half way into the year?

Thanks if you respond

Don't think so.
Our cut-off date for dropping art was May 12th or something... now I'm stuck with it
Of course it all depends what your teacher says, but if he says no then just neglect it anyway and you should still get a study score of at least 10

I've already been neglecting it I always keep forgetting to hand my work in until the last minute, but I'm still managing to do extremely good in the subject for some reason (I think i got a B or an A on my first SAC lol)

Thanks for your reply, and here's to hoping i can actually drop it

Then you should be fine even if you don't drop it. DECV teachers don't seem to care if you actually do your work...

Wouldn't it only not count towards your ATAR if your SS for the subject was lower than the other subjects you're doing?

Or does it not count regardless?

I heard back from my teacher, he said I can drop out, it just means I'll get an N for that subject.
According to my careers teacher, only your top 6 subjects will count (Which i know i'm definately going to be getting higher in science/maths, then IT.)
