i'm not sure, but i think if you do repeat, the CAS 2009 study score is the one that will contribute towards your enter (assuming that you're doing 6 subjects)

I honestly don't think I could cope with another year of VCE...

Pretty much totally over it with the exception of my 2 exams this week. :P

What a line up of subjects DaN. Looks like you don't make your mind easily :P
Do you go to a public or private school? I wished my school were able to offer students so many "try outs".

I'm pretty sure if you repeat a subject you get the higher one... That was my interpretation, and then the lower one would come under "subjects not counted towards enter?"

Nah, it's definitely the latest score, but I can't find the link that says it...

Oooh fair enough! I trust you on that!
It would suck if you repeated a subject and got lower!

I notice you're doing further AND spesh next yearl....

That would mean in total, you have done 4 maths... Only 2 can count towards your top 4 for your ENTER.

There's no point in that. Just study hard for spec

Mathematical Methods and Mathematical Methods (CAS) is one of those 'forbidden' combinations by VTAC. That means that if you do both these subjects then VTAC will not consider both for the purposes of calculating an ENTER score. VTAC would take the highest score instead I believe.
