I'm doing fine in english, maths, business studies and PDHPE. But modern history is starting to bore me but i get the content and biology is really interesting but my marks are not that well. I'm not sure if i should stick with 12units or 10units.. Someone help!

You are able to get an ATAR of 90+ with any combination of subjects, as long as you put in the effort. And personally, I would stick with 12 units just for the purpose of a safety net, but it really depends on how you feel with the workload. You are halfway through the year though, so it seems a little bit of a waste to be dropping subjects now unless you find it necessary or beneficial to your cause. I understand that Modern History can get start to get boring for you (the same occurred for me in terms of Ancient History), however if you understand the content then Modern History should not be too difficult to achieve good marks in.

Buriza hit the nail on the head.
