Wish I had his level of enthusiasm, got my 1st of 3 bio tests for this term in 2 day and I am not a happy dude rn.

Is that a good or bad thing lol

Yeah unfortunately dropping maths is pretty much out of the questions since it is relevant for some uni course I may wish to apply for. Which really is annoying since I know if I drop maths and keep Bio and Science extension that would actually help boost my atar but yeah both parents and...

The 2020 atar calculators and 2021 results seem to suggest that ext science has a may higher scaling than Bio. With even a 30/50 equivalent to an 85% in bio?

I am taking chemistry as well so the corequisite would be met anyway. My main dilemma is that my maths grades are relatively low compared to my other subjects and therefore do not currently count as I have 13 units. I am doing fairly well in Bio maintaining around an 85% grade so it...

I don't mind science extension but tbh only really chose it because I thought it scaled well. I will enjoy the subject if I keep it however and don't really think I could say I like Bio or it any differently. I have 3 other kids in my science extension so I'm not too sure how ranking works with...

HI guys I've started a similar thread last year but now with some new knowledge am really stressing over my decision. I am doing 13 units and am dropping either bio or extension science. Previous info I received stated that the scaling was minimal due to the 1 vs 2 unit difference i the courses...

Thank you for the advice it is greatly appreciated. I know I am still stuck on the scaling aspect but are there any large advantages to ext science that would make it justifiable over bio? (Assuming I get a mark in the 90% region)

For bio I understand that it doesn't scale as high as chem and bio but it is still a relatively strong subject for me. The real dilemma I have is that I have no idea what the science extension course is like and whether I will be able to maintain a high grade. Also if I drop bio and focus...

Would you say that the workload is higher than bio even as a 1 unit course? I understand that it will be a very difficult course and the report is essential. Our school does have a uni program for assistance I'm pretty sure. I scored in the 70-80% range for bio in year 11 but that was due to the...

Hi Guys just started year 12 and picked up Extension Science as kind of an impulsive subject. Currently this means i'm doing 13 units which honestly I don't think I can manage. I have 2 options for this ether drop bio and keep ext science or drop ext science and keep bio. It's almost impossible...
