from the looks of things, i'd say 3/3.

take both 4u maths and 3u english. Drop one of them if you go bad in an assesment.

Damn straight. You can drop something later in the year but you can't pick it up if you change your mind.
it won't do you any good if at the back of your mind, you're thinking (for two subjects) "i didn't do too well in this assessment, but hey, i might drop it later on."

As someone else said: if you hate english, do more maths.

I'd do 4U Maths, 3U English if I were you. And try to do 12 units, so your English Advanced marks don't count. It is a LOT harder to get very good marks in Advanced than in Extension.

what do you mean by my eng adv marks dont count? i thought they always counted as my "2 units of eng"...

I could be wrong (someone correct me if so), but if you do 3U then only one unit of your Advanced marks will be counted. And as I mentioned before, getting brilliant marks in advanced seems a lot harder than doing the same in extension. That's only if you have units left over though.

Oh, and I can't think of a more terrible list of subjects! No history?! No art?! What is this?! :D

i too hate english with a passion, but you have to live with the fact that it is compulsory....wait you do 3u eng? and you hate eng with a passion? doesn't make sense. with those 3u maths marks, i'd go into 4u maths, i wish i did it, it looks so interesting and challenging. i'm coming 1st in 3u maths in my class at the moment, and with your ability, i'd think you could handle 4u maths, i mean, assuming your internal assessments are not piss easy...96% in 2u maths is expected, and 86% for your prelim half-yearly is impressive [i was getting ~50% at that stage....but when i look back, there were actually parametric questions in there when we hadn't even done it yet].

english-wise, i don't know, i hate it too. but just don't choose standard.

History? Art?
Ew!
Lol. I did prelim ancient and enjoyed it but dumped it because I still have 13 units now.

Lol, nice going on the subjects! Except maybe ext english because I hate english...

I'd have done all 3 sciences myself if I hadn't sort of felt obliged to to music...Considering that's what I'm at my school for...
That or if I could have done 15 units...And the lines had worked out...And I'd done prelim bio...

I pretty sure you're wrong... if you do 3U then 2 units of 2U are counted and 1 unit of ext 1 is counted
