Thanks polonomial

If I can drop it I will, if not ill keep it. Thanks for everyone who replied.

I strongly recommend against dropping English, even if it is the most painful experience you have had in your life, I too dislike English, but it's one of those things you have to do.

If you don't like normal English, I doubt you would like Literature or one of the other acceptable English subjects that much. Dropping English would set you back a year, save you only year a term of a subject which you don't like and may mean you have to do a whole other year of a subject you like only marginally better or worst of all dislike even more.

There's no point in dropping something just because you don't like it. Not many people like English, that doesn't mean English should be dropped, it just means they have to deal with it and force themselves to study based on how important English is.

You're far better off in my opinion getting say a 30 in English and studying a 2nd preference uni course which you like than taking a whole year off to do one VCE subject which there's no guarantee you will like regardless, when at the same time you'll be missing out on undertaking a course you actually do like.

Seriously dude, you've done an entire secondary education's worth of English already and now there's only 5 or so months to go until it's all over, don't give up now. That means you've got <10% of your secondary English studies to go, if counting by duration.

It isn't too late to turn things around. Perhaps find a tutor, study with a friend, find resources online, ask your English for extra help after class and there are many more ways! It's only June, so you have a couple of months before the exam. Many people complain about English being hard, I did so myself. What I did was I wrote essays regardless of the standard it was, handed into my teachers and sought for feedback. You'll only learn if you put in the effort. Don't go into English class and think that it'll be 1 hour of class that you'll never get back, try to embrace yourself into liking English. I'm sure things will turn around for the better.

Ask heaps of questions on ATAR Notes! Students who got 40s and 50s will surely help out! Good luck!
