    Question about Essay Length

    The 8 page rule is just a guideline. As long as it's around 1,000 words you'll be fine don't stress about how many pages you're writing. And as mentioned above it's important to realise that quality/answering the question is much more important than how much you're writing. Good luck!

    Drop Agriculture, Modern History or Chemistry?

    Unless if you're confident that you can pick up your rank for Agriculture to 1st or 2nd, I recommend you drop Agriculture. It seems like you don't like the subject as much and the relatively poor scaling of the subject/quality of your cohort may affect you if you're not ranked near the top of...
