Should I drop chemistry!!!? (1 Viewer)

[sadgal]

So I'm in year 11 (year 12 now technically) and I'm doing:

Advanced English
General Mathematics (was doing 2u, dropped down-biggest mistake ever)
Chemistry
Economics
Legal Studies
Biology
SOR 1u

I decided that I was going to drop gen because I really hate it and its negative effects in regards to scaling + atar etc (although I know I could do really well in it), but this was before I got my chem prelim results back. With chem, in the half-yearly report I came 2nd and got 81% for my theory exam and 96% for my prac/skills exam. That dropped significantly to 67% for theory and 80% for prac/skills, and now I think I'm coming 8th or 9th. I'm coming in the top 5 for all my other subjects besides Adv English which I'm coming 9th in.

The drop in my chem mark really bothers me and I feel like it's a huge risk for me to do chem in my HSC with those marks right now? Should I drop chemistry or gen, I have no idea what to do HELP PLS

Have you started HSC? If not, do both for a week or two and maybe that'll make it easier for you to decide which one to drop.

Nah, we don't start until week 3. Yeah I think I'll continue with both until after our first assessments at the end of this term. Thanks for the suggestions!

You're welcome
Maybe you'll end wanting to do both or drop both haha. Goodluck!
