Should I drop maths? (1 Viewer)

[jtan8008]

So at the moment I'm doing 12 units in year 11:

Mathematics - Rank 21/133
Mathematics Extension 1 - Rank 41/62
Chemistry - Rank 32/54
Biology - Rank 34/75
Ancient History - Rank 3/67
English advanced - Rank 23/98

At the moment, I'm looking at dropping either Chemistry or Maths Ext 1 going into year 12 and I'm not too sure which one I should drop.

Any thoughts?

I'd drop chemistry because Maths Ext 1 is really just an extension of Maths.

So Maths Ext 1 has better scaling with relatively less effort because you're really just studying a bit more of the same subject. Chemistry - you'd need to learn a whole new subject on top of maths.

Depends on what career you're thinking of doing

Well, ultimately, it depends on what you plan to do in university.
Some courses have a "recommended studies" set. By no means is it compulsory, but it's there as a guideline for the assumed knowledge that you should be studying.
For scaling, it changes every year (albeit not by much), but Extension 1 Maths usually scales better than Chemistry.
