I suppose it depends on your aspirations after highschool.

If you are doing arty subjects in uni, you don't have to keep it.

UAI wise, you need to look for high 80s for Ancient

If I was dropping, I think I'd pick up Modern, cos I know a lot of people who did ancient and hated it, but just about everybody who does modern enjoys it

yes you might have a comparative advantage in history... but even if you have that doesn't mean that you will do well.

math is useless... depending on the environment.

hehe...i hate maths too.....
but modern is VERY good in terms of scaling......up to u really

 

[kpq_sniper017]

well....u gotta remember that if u do ancient or modern history, u can then do history extension in yr 12, which may be good if u like it......
ignore anything u hear about scaling......as long as u enjoy the subject and ur motivated and enthusiastic, ull do well (people sometimes do u worse by choose high scalers that they don't enjoy).
