Question about English and ATAR (1 Viewer)

[thicckoolkid]

I do four units of English and am on 11 units. I was encouraged to do both E1 and E2 because advanced sucks and its exam format is the worst, and I was told that only my best 2 units of English would count. However, I literally realised that 1 of my advanced units is going to have to count towards my ATAR because of the nature of my units/courses (In order to get the 10 units). Am I wrong? Also, if I'm right, how is the singular unit of Advanced decided? Is it either Paper 1 or 2, or is it different?

Ur correct in saying at least 1 unit of advanced will definitely count if its ur worst subject. In this case, your final mark will be reduced to out of 50 and it will count as a 1 unit subject

Ohh okay, thanks sm. But what if it isn't my worst subject?

Then it would all count besides one unit of your worst subject.

Is scaling factored in when the worst unit is being decided?
