Taking or dropping a seventh subject

Hey all,

I did biology and Religion and Society in year 11, and got a 37 [scaled 38] and 35 [scaled 34] for each respectively. Now that i'm in year 12, I'm taking 5 subjects, and I'm wondering If I should drop one since the 7th one won't count. However, I am aware that If I do well in my 7th subject, it will overtake my current lowest of 34. I'm currently taking psychology, English language, chem, methods and economics, And if anything, I would drop eco, as I'm not sure whether I would do better in that then I did in Religion. I would like to get close to a 90-94 atar but with my year 11 marks, I'm not too sure if that's possible. Would also love to have study periods [If i drop eco] to really get lots of work done and focus on my subjects. Any tips?
Thanks

Drop it like it’s hot.

Haven’t you experimented with ATAR Calc? Your desired ATAR is insanely achievable with your Year 11 scores.

If you think you can do better than 34 than go for it if not then drop it.

Up to you, 7 is a bit much imo.
