I would recommend taking a look at free notes, videos etc. before you swap to that class to help you be prepared and not overwhelmed. That being said, if you don't have the capacity to do that atm that's ok.
I probably wouldn't make a decision about dropping a subject given remote learning and everything unless you really feel like you need to. It can be hard to predict what your top 5 will be (for example, I thought I'd do better in chem than physics but it was the other way around) especially since scaling is a big unknown. Some students find that dropping a subject they use the time effectively on their other ones but many don't. If it was me in your position, I would prefer to keep 6 and have the safety buffer of knowing that if I underperform in one then my other 5 an be used for the calc.
SOR is a general subject and thus can contribute to your ATAR in the same way as other general subjects. RE is an applied subject and can also contribute to your ATAR but it does it differently; your ATAR is calculated from either your 5 best general subjects or 4 general subjects + 1 applied.
That all being said, this isn't about what I would do it's about what's best for you. If you are struggling with having a 6 subject workload after things have been normal for a while it might be worth revisiting your decision about how many subjects you take.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help!
I should not drop SOR, as you said we don't know which subject will contribute.
I think it can be a way to stand big amount of tasks and chance to increase the efficiency of using time
Thanks!

Hey guys.
I am aseem and am a class of 2021 student.
I am wondering how you guys are preparing for the term 3 science 50% exams for unit 1 and 2.
Can anyone point me where I can find questions for my subjects for my 50% exams.
My subjects are: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths methods, Specialist mathematics and English.

Hi aseem,
Check this out:
https://atarnotes.com/notes/?pag=1&state=3721&subject=0&unit=51011&key=&sort=date
This is where you can find notes for QCE subjects.
Good luck with year 11,
Kind Regards

I am also a student currently in year 11! It really is quite scary to me.
Right now I am having the dilemma of switching Chinese to Visual art but I have no idea about the scaling. I really want to go into Medical imaging and are doing the subjects: Maths Methods, Literature, Physics, Biology, Design and Chinese. Apparently 2 extra points are given for Chinese. But to be totally honest although i am getting A's I don't enjoy the subject and feel I will be failing it soon. There is so many characters to remember how to write and read. Reading and writing are my worst fears. I don't enjoy Chinese that much and would rather do Visual Art which I did until Yr 10. I received straight A's in the subject. But because I want to get into medical imaging I'm scared Visual art might scale me down.
Could anybody help? Thanks :)

Hi sealtheseal,
I recommend doing the subject you enjoy most, which sounds like Visual Arts. Scaling will not effect you if you enjoy one subject more than the other. In terms of Medical Imaging, you will not be disadvantaged as long as you meet the prerequisites (I'm not sure about pre-reqs for universities in Queensland but at Monash you need a 25 in methods and a 25 in bio or physics).
Always do subjects you enjoy, you will never regret it :)
