Ok, want to do Science at uni. I've got 13 units for Yr12 - Adv Eng, Maths, Bio, Physics, Chem, Music 2 & ext Music. I'll do well in Music. I love Bio, Chem will be the most important for uni (and my worst subject) and I'm not too bad at Physics.
See my problem...no way can I do 13 units! My maths needs a lot of work too.

Which do I ditch???

Can you drop Chem and do a summer school for it? How does Chem scale compared to Drama or DT?

Chem scales better than Physics, Drama or DT but it shouldn't be what you depend on to drop a subject.

You don't need to drop anything. I hate it when people automatically assume that anything above 10 units is automatically "OMFG I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK TO DO".

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but I think you should keep all of them. With enough effort and organisation a decent student should be able to pull it off. I dropped physics going into year 12 and looking back on the decision I don't think my reason (too much work) was justified.

If you're 100% sure you can't possibly do the work, drop chem and do a bridging course.
