Need help choosing my subjects (2 Viewers)

[Ethaw]

All that I know for sure is 6/12 units.

I know I want to do:

English Advanced (2 Units)

Maths General (Am currently in 5.3) (2 Units)

Business Studies (2 Units)

Some sort of 1 or 2 combination involving religion (Catholic Studies + x (e.g Eng Ext 1 or photography) or SOR 2 or SOR1 + x)

The subjects that I am considering are

Biology

Ancient History
(only one not both)
Modern History

Economics

Biology

Not sure what I want to do but it would probably be in either IT or business.
I am not amazing at maths I used to be pretty good (Best in 5.3) but I dropped off at some stage, don't know if this would affect how I would do in economics either, think algebra is a particular weakness.

Basically I need help choosing what I will do as I have to choose by the end of tonight, hoping to get at least a 90 atar so I can do whatever degree appeals to me at Macquarie or wherever.

Modern history scales a lot better then ancient, so I'd pick that.

Catholic Studies is non atar so doesn't count for 2 units (Which you probably are aware of?)

Biology/Economics has a fair bit of memorising, I'd say Economics is a more rewarding subject effort wise.

What are your current electives/previous years electives and how are you/did you go in them?

Doing commerce currently and topping the year and also doing IT but I am hating the project process of which is 95% planning and documenting and 5% actually doing stuff with the computer.

I am quite literally the worst out of everything at 5.3 at the moment so that makes me uncertain about economics despite my successes in commerce. I wasn't always as bad and am currently being tutored.
I heard that Ancient History was harder than Modern, I prefer the content in ancient but if modern is easier and scales better that would be ideal.

The difficulty level of Ancient and Modern will depend on the individual - having taught many, many students who have done both I have students every year where one say Ancient is harder than Modern while another will say the exact opposite.

The exam structure is very similar except that Modern has 2 25 mark essays while Ancient has 1 25 mark essay and 1 question made up of 4 - 5 sections with a range of marks from 1 - 15.

Otherwise they have personalities examined via a 2 part response and the Core - where Modern's core is more structured compared to Ancient's but as you have to actually deal with unseen sources either way your can't actually memorise a response.

Actually I did get the highest marks in the assessments, I just didn't get the excellence award due to behaviour and got given 2nd place i.e commitment award.

And topped is a general term that anyone in top 3 could use.... It wasn't a direct "first place" which I did technically get anyway.
