Subject Selections need help

Heys
I was wondering is dropping physics the best option? Ive done pretty average 60-70% and i usually get confuse about the work and stuff but if i do drop physics what subject should i pick up?
psychology(good teacher), biology(alrite teacher), physical education(not the greatest), business subs(they are great i heard) or any other suggestions.
Keep in mind that the subjects i have just mentioned im not doing at the moment which means ill go straight into 3/4 without doing 1/2
Also i would have done 2 unit 3/4 subs by next year but my school makes it compulsory to 5 in year 12 unless your an exception (clearly im not)
subjects of next year would be math methods,specialists,chemistry,english and ??????
(i would have done a international(dont like it much) and a language in year 11 (units3/4))

you score and confusion about physics can be resolved. (But 70% is by no means bad)
The question you should consider most is, do you enjoy the subject?

if you're enjoying physics and happy with your marks at the moment, or willing to put a bit more effort into it next year, (and i'm sure people here could help you!) then keep it.

if you do want to drop it for something else, i don't think bio or p.e would be too hard to pick up without having done 1/2. i have friends that do 3/4 psych without having done 1/2 who are doing great. only a small amount of 1/2 psych gets carried into 3/4, so it can easily be done.

but you should probably just pick the subject that you find the most interesting

BusMan is easier then Psych, but Psych is more interesting.
I'd recommend psych, has a light workload and is interesting BUT don't take it for granted, you actually have to study a bit if you want to do well

yea i was thinking about psychology since my friend told me it was ok, but i heard da study design is changing next year yes or no?

Also accounting is like a so-so subject since the teacher of the sub would probably reject me (nothing personal) great teacher and stuff got 50% of the accounting class to get an A+ in the mid years lowest mark was a B+ but since i didnt do units 1/2 he probably wont accept me but im not fond of accounting in the first place anyways ==
