K sure.

I mean not sure I can give much more advice. I mean think of the future and how it will affect you. Make sure you know the requirements for whatever you want to do next year. Make sure you meet unit and UAI requirements. Maybe try a little harder put more effort into it. Ask questions etc.

It seems like an easy decision. You might as well drop it if its your worst subject. you have a backup subject and you're better off concentrating on 12 units than 13. But hey I don't know your situation decide whether its about getting a UAI as high as possible or setting yourself up for yourr desired uni course. Then make your decision.

Hmmm you won't need 3u maths for commerce. Not sure about IT, I think you can get away with it, because they should teach the stuff all again anyway. As long as you are strong in two unit you will be able to handle it in uni for sure. Keeping three unit is strongly recommended in things like engineering and some science courses.

your call really. I do 12 units and I reckon it's the best amount for leeway. Not too many but not too less:D
