Hey all,
I'm currently doing 14 units and I'm aiming for UAI>95
I talked to my teachers recently and they all said I need to focus on several subjects instead of doing all 14 units.
Based on my half-year report card:

Chemistr: 87% (3 out of 30)
Physics: 83% (5 out of 46)
Economics: 92% (2 out of 18)
ESL: 91% (2 out of 64)
Indonesian Background Speakers: 94% (2 out of 64)
Math 2 unit: 92% (4 out of 64)
Math 3 unit: 95% (3 out of 46)
Math 4 unit: 66% (3 out of 6)

So, do you think I'd need to drop one subject to get >95?
And which to drop? Chemistry or 4 unit?

Thx..

You realize only 10 units count right? A lot of those subjects are pretty heavy duty so if you're comfortable with 10 units you might as well drop 2 entire subs...

I don't think >95 UAI will be too hard based on the 10 best units of those results if you keep them up.

your subjects arn't too hard, but considering your 4U math marks, I think you should just stop trying, and let the 2units of extention 1 math count since you're good at that.

if u want to drop, drop the one u find most difficult/dislike the most. based on your marks, i'd say chemistry/maths 4u. cause at the end of the day, even if u love those subjects, the >95 UAI will be hurt if u do bad in them

What do you want to do when you finish school? Any paticular courses? Or which subject do you like the least?
I'd say drop 4U maths and possibly physics/chemistry according to your marks but in my oppinion, personal interest is more important than marks
