Just need some advice or help. Failing chem 1&2.

So basically I'm failing chemistry 1&2 really bad. I basically have no hope of passing the final exam. My question is, how detrimental is this to my VCE next year, if at all.

I'm doing pretty well at all my other subjects and am not even close to failing any of them. For some reason I just can't understand chem, so I'm dropping it next year.

Since you are dropping Chem for next year, there will be no impact to your VCE results as only your VCE 3/4 subjects count. But of course by dropping Chem you will not be able to apply for any university courses that list Chem as a prerequisite ( I can't think of any such course tho )

To clarify on this point, VCE Chemistry is a prerequisite subject for medicine, some related health science, some chemical engineering and a few other courses that heavily use chemistry. If you are not considering such courses, it's absolutely okay to drop chemistry.
