Awhile ago, I submitted in "Further Maths" as one of my VCE subjects but then I realize I may drop it anyway in Year 12. Errr, do you guys recommend me doing a math subject in Year 11? I think the course I want to get into (B.A) only requires English....

If your preferred course doesn't have a maths prerequisite, then there's no problem if you decide not to take a maths subject.  It's really a matter of "what can I learn the most from?" and "what will stand me in good stead for tertiary study?".

I mean it's going to feel weird having no math and all, I honestly don't know if the career I want requires math (Journalism) ahaha.

If you are going for a high atar, then further is a quite easy subject to get 40+. This will really help towards a high atar.

Wow someone who got 50 on FM!

Haha, I've always struggled with me, like atm I'm doing "Core" Math and yet I only managed to get my first B+ this year on my previous SAC.

Well, you're only in year 10 so you still have plenty of time to improve :)
I didn't do 1+2 Further so basically had to learn core from scratch :(

Do you have some tips on how to maximize clarity and "silly mistakes" in  FM?

I check over every question straight after I complete it, as it is very hard to find mistakes when you check it at the end. You have a lot of time in Further so this is possible.

To improve clarity get your teacher to mark your explanation questions harshly so you remember it.
