Between biology and PDHPE...
I don't do biology but I've had people tell me that it's not really a prerequisite for many science based courses in Uni(it might be recommended but not necessary) ----> you could take a bridging course later after the HSC. As for PDHPE...I have no idea. Considering the fact that you're weak at these subjects it may be best to keep biology since your mark doesn't scale down(nor up) whereas with PDHPE it may scale down(so I've heard). It sounds like you're pretty confident with English so I would say go for it and drop PDHPE!

Thank you NajaKaja
i've had people tell me this, but i have no idea on the scaling for biology and pdhpe i've heard both are pretty bad :/ that's the main issue i guess

i believe bio scales higher than pdhpe but disregarding that, id say stick with bio since it relates more to chem (in which you're doing) and drop pdhpe.

Why do you need to drop anything?

Simple solution: Take EX2.


If one subject gets too hard or too boring, then you drop it. Simple.

I think i need to drop one because i dont think i can cope with that workload :/

^If you aren't sure you could take EE2 for like two weeks with your other subs and then either drop, it or pdhpe/bio. It'll also let you see what's in store for the HSC course which will aid your decision making.

But the answer may become crystal for you further along in Year 11, it's only May

thankss, hopefully it will :/

For you, was HSC biology difficult?

Wait for the year to progress to determine which subjects that you know you want to drop.

Who knows? You could be smashing PDHPE and Biology towards the end of Term 3.

Which subject do you dislike more?

Agreed - give it a try in combination with your other subjects and then make a decision.

12 units really should be the maximum. Drop either bio or pdhpe, they both scale badly.

Good luck!
