I'm contemplating dropping bio altogether because I feel the workload will be overwhelming as I'm doin chem,bio,methods,English and religion. My question is do you think the workload is too much? If anyone is doin chem+bio+methods how do you go about juggling the work? 😖

In Year 12, I did English, Biology, Chemistry, Methods and Specialist and I managed. You just need to be very disciplined and organised with your study plan. I don't think you should compromise doing a subject that you enjoy because you think the workload will be too much - you can make it happen if you want to. Good luck. :)

It's not as bad as it seems :) I did all three and found it fine. Biol and Chem complement each other a lot. If you're genuinely interested as well, work seems less.

Of course taking into account workload is important; however, this should not affect your decision on what subjects you should take up. As Mr T-Rav mentioned, Biology and Chemistry complement each other. If you can find a study plan, and adhere to this study plan, you'll get through it. In saying this, however, you need to do what you feel most comfortable with, as no one other than yourself knows your full capabilities. Best of luck with your decision.
