Depends on whether you're prepared to put the time and energy into a year-long major work. You only get out of it what you put in.

um....you don't have to do a work in ext 1, only ext 2.
But drop if you don't like english...scales alright though.

It has scaling about the same as ext 2 English and slightly below ext 1 maths. Id est: freaking awesome scaling.... assuming you do wellish. I dunno. I might keep it. It's not like amths where ti gets progressively harder. 2u English isn't exactly the best indicator of how well you'll do in 3 or 4 unit English.

^ Sarah. Ah, yes. Isee what he's asking.

Well, I did it in year 11 with the intent of dropping it in eyar 12. I reckon you should do it, since it's not a LOT of work (can't be - only 1 unit) and even if it doesn't teach you any ideas you can use in Advanced English (it might, though), it is both good practices and good for improving things like crtical thinking (in the context of the English curricula), essay writing, and clarity. I've found that, at least. It was also a good motivator for me to do better in Advanced English.

And there's a bonus - you might decide to keep it.

actually there is point in doing it as an extra uint even if you plan to drop it in year 12. coz you will pick up writing skills etc

I do it, and its definitely worth it- if you enjoy english that is. It really helps your writing skills (especially if your advanced teacher is shit- like mine). Its not very hard, and as the year goes on, it all gets much easier anyway. If you like english, I'd recommend it.
