Hey guys, I’m currently in year 11 doing English Ext 1 and I’m wondering if I should keep it or switch it out for a 2 unit.
Although English is one of my strongest subjects, it’s not something I’m very passionate in. I find it my current English Ext class extremely boring and I’m already a little behind both the class work and the novel we are meant to be reading.
However what’s stopping me from switching it out is that I’m worried about whether I can still achieve a very high atar without any extension subjects ( I’m not doing math ext either ) because I see all of the high achievers from my school have done at least one extension subject.
I would trial it out for year 11 but because my school only lets us do a maximum of 12 units, I ended up doing 5 2-unit subjects, English ext and a 1-unit filler subject that I must drop in year 12.
What concerns me is that because I’ll only have 11 units, I won’t be able to drop any of my 2 unit subjects.
So if I did 6 2-unit subjects now I could just trial which ones I’m good at in year 11 and drop my worst one in year 12 which would be a whole lot safer.
Please help……
Any advice would be appreciated
