We just recieved an assesment that is supposed to be 20mins in length and visual rep for ext and ever since then ive totally flippd and i cant fucking write anymore, my writing sounds like stuff i wrote in yr 10, so i dunno if is hould drop it or not, it'll take the pressure off but yeah :s

english 4/15
gen maths 4/54
bio 1/14
business 1/17 - although its a good ranking im averaging 70-80s
ext eng 1/2 - 1 mark diff, but crashing badly

Drop it if you dont like it, I dropped it in like 3 weeks LOL

If you don't like the subject then drop it.

So, drop it!

Are you under a lot of stress from your other subjects at the moment now?

If you are, and can't bring yourself to seriously attempt this task, drop it right away. If you are prepared to work for it, decide after you do the task and get your results back.

And don't look down on yourself to much. I'm sure your English isn't as bad as you think.

Really depend on your aim. If you are aiming fairly high, e.g. 95+ uai, then I would feel slightly uncomfortable of you doing only 10 units and with general math and visual art. Not to dumb you down or anything, as you maybe pretty smart, the fact that 50+ students in your school does general math, I would presume your cohort isn't spectacular. If your aim is indeed high, then my suggestion would be to hang on for a bit longer - my writing style during May was far worse than my writings during October (prehaps find a tutor). If otherwise, dropping it would be my suggestion.

Ultimately, of course, you do what you feel most comfortable. HSC is rarely an indicator of a person's worth in whatever career and there are countless route to success after HSC.

A quote someone gave me in bos.
"What will get to you is the paranoia/pressure you put on yourself over things that aren't worthy of it, or if you over-compensated the level of concern as per actual reality of the situation."

Given all your other subjects, it could really help your UAI but if there's no prospect of you doing well enough to benefit, then there's no point putting up with it.

I found that it was a real pain in the ass and I was doing crappily anyway. Dropping it changed my life.

EDIT: "ext eng 1/2 - 1 mark diff, but crashing badly" wait, is that your rank? If so, and your coming first, then I'd say keep it if you think you can keep this up. Also, a class of two?

 

[imsopostmodern]

i'd suggest keeping it, seeing as you only have 11 units. obviously, if you REALLY hate it, then drop it, but otherwise, you sound like maybe you just have writers block. once you work through that, you'll be fine.

It really depends on a few things.
Ext. 1 needs time. When I was flipping it about an assessment I found I knew what I was doing better when I gave myself enough time.
You might be going through a rough patch also, I know I did. It could be stress. Still, to be coming first you must have some decent ability.

If it really is bringing you down then maybe consider dropping it, just don't make any sudden decisions without good planning towards it. Maybe see how you go in the next assessment and then decide?
Hope this helps.
