I have a dilemma regarding my subject choices. I currently have 13 units consisting of: English (Advanced), Math (Ext 1 and 2), Physics, Chem, Bio, Religion. My problem is that I cannot handle this much work and I am considering dropping either Ext 2 Math or Bio.

I know I can do well in bio, however I really do not enjoy it, but I am not sure if i would be able to do well in 4 unit math.

If I were to get an 85 raw mark for bio, what would be the 4 unit equivalent?

85 raw mark in bio is pretty good
tbh year 12 bio is different to yr 11 but then again it is your choice
if you don't liike it, drop it

A 93 in 4 unit is approximately equivalent to a state rank in biology.

A borderline band 6 in biology is equal to a 75 (E2) in 4U.

yr12 bio is 10000x better than yr11 bio though
honestly if it were me I'd keep all 13 units (I did very similar subjects in yr12) but if you're really struggling with the workload, probably wait until after your first assessment block and see which one you found most difficult to study for.

:( but the problem is that I don't want a subject that I'm going to drop anyway to affect my other subjects for this first set of assessments because I didn't have time to prepare adequately

ask your maths teacher how they think you'll go in the hsc maybe?

Do bio unless you want to do maths heavy courses at uni
