Well, the trial exam is tomorrow, I haven't studied, however, have had the intention of dropping it for awhile now. Generally, I'm not consistent but I am doing well in my other 5 subjects. I haven't studied for this trial exam and I know I'm getting between 50-60% for it. I never did well in this particular subject (PDHPE) and never put in as much effort as I did with my other 5 subjects. Should I drop it? Or would it be a silly move?

Well you've done almost an entire year with it. Be stupid too drop now as you've done all your internal assessments...

And also externals still count for 50% of your overall mark.

Drop it if you think it'll impact your performance in your other subs

If you think your other subjects are going much better for you, then you should drop it

It's a little late but drop it - if it you are doing poorly in it then it isnt likely to count, meaning that you are wasting your time with it.

Just drop it and refocus all your time to other subjects and maximize your marks.

there's very little to be gained from dropping it at this point

but- if something goes wrong and you completely bomb another subject- this subject you're talking about dropping- although you think its going to get you a crap mark at this point, that mark might be ALOT better than the subject you bombed- so hold onto it


ps. you should rep me for my answer
