so I really wanted to drop sac before but now after getting prelim marks and thinking about it i might want to drop bio instead. But idk the average for sac. Cause if I'm below average for sac i def will drop. Update: average was 41/60 I got 45/60

I've been wanting to drop sac since term 1 but idk why I'm contemplating it now.

But the main point is: Bio is more work, my worst subject but is slightly more interesting.
SAC is less work, I'm doing better in but is less interesting. but idk maybe i can enjoy it more

SubjectProsCons
SAC (Society and Culture)- Got 75% in prelims even without much study. I literally bludged the whole of year 11, chatgpted all my worksheets, etc
- Easier to improve with examples and effort
- “Free marks” even without studying
- Year 12 topics seem more interesting
- PIP (major project) could be fun
- Can be enjoyable if you romanticise it and engage more
- Teacher makes it boring (too many worksheets)
- Requires doing a PIP (extra workload – 2 major works total)- but I'm fine with doing that
- Depends on motivation and interest to stay engaged
Biology- Slightly above average in prelims by 1.5 marks (my mark- 53%)
- Year 12 content is more interesting than Year 11
- Can improve with focused study but it will take a lot of effort and even then idk if I can do that good. like prob max 75-80%
- Not that interested in the subject but it's ok
- Requires lots of memorisation and content
- Feels like more work for less reward. I really need to improve in math so trying to make a comeback in math and bio might whilst doing well in my other subjects might be too much
do not do pip if you dont have a good teacher

guys my bio teacher is kinda mad. I talked to her and she really wants me to stay cause she thinks I can do well. she thinks I can get a band 5 with a lot of work but lowkey I feel like I can get a band 5 in sac already with my marks despite not trying at all. But lowkey if I told my sac teacher that he would say the same so there's no difference. ik dropping bio is 90% right but these teachers are trying to push me out of it
