Hi,
I'm a Year 11 student at a fairly crappy private school (RPCS ._.), anyway, I'm currently doing the following subjects:
Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Business Studies, Adv. English, 2U+Ext Maths. I chose these as I wanted good scaling and other subjects I was absolutely not interested in, in exception of Economics and maybe Ancient.
Currently I'm feeling pretty good in Chem, Physics, Biology, it's a lot of information to take in but I understand most of it and just confirm with studying at home. Business is also fairly easy, Adv. is ok. Now, with Maths, I feel like I am able to understand everything going on in 2U, but not everything in Ext1, so getting a maths tutor should help that. I also have the problem of being able to understand everything in class but do extremely crappy in tests, I got a B last year out of sheer luck imo.
Now the questions:
Sorry for all the questions, thanks guys.

Now the questions:
- Currently my private tutor costs $80 an hour and comes every week for an hour, is it worth it for a one-on-one? Or is it better to be in a classroom? I'd like the teacher to go at my pace but I'd like to also like to know if my pace is too slow.
- I'm considering Engineering but I'm only slightly interested, and I'm more interested in commerce and have higher grades in that subject. If I start being absolutely destroyed in Ext1 Maths, should I drop Phys and Ext1 and move to Eco?
- If I am considering to continue Maths, what do you guys recommend for me to do if I can't do well in tests but in class?
- I think my family is planning to move to another suburb this year, is it better to stay at my current school or move to a better one around that area (Putney)?
- Oh and, on the NSW Students Online Site, one of my 2014 grades is wrong (History is a C instead of B), should I ask the principal about this or is there something else going on?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks guys.
