Don't let the aim of 42 be an anchor. You're not doing any other year 12 subject this year. If you drop it, I guarantee you that you will just be bludging. You won't be pre-studying for your other year 12 subjects during that time.

Even if you don't get 42 for Psychology, it doesn't matter. Something has to go in your bottom two, and something is better than nothing.

he'll get a statement of marks
and when he finds out he got 85% he'll be back here to whinge about how his 99.95 can only be 98.45, and he won't be able to do medicine and law at melbourne uni... when medicine and law are what interest him the most... a likely combo, the human body -> 5000 page books about the legal system.

If you look at his signature he is clearly not aiming for 99.95.

I can relate to your situation pyschlaw! with accounting last year i walked out of the midyear expecting an A+! When i got the A i was upset, but i kept to it. I got the statement of marks and it turned out i was 1.5 marks off an A+ and come the end of year exam, i got an A+ and managed to net myself a 39. Don't drop it. Keep to it. Worse comes to wrose it can be the handy 10% increment! Good Luck.

Don't drop it, this is only the midyear, you still have another big chance. In any case there is no point in dropping a 3/4 you are currently enrolled in and doing good at. You might as well drop a 1/2 if you really need to drop something lol :P

Please do not drop psych.  Having a study score for a subject (that will contribute to your aggregate) is better than a 0. (even if it ends up as bottom 2)

Also, finish what you've started! :P 

And finally, there is nothing wrong with an A.  I'm pretty sure you can get 42 or above for Psychology with an A.
