Dont drop IPT it gets better in year 12
But why not? I don't know if this is true or false, but I heard that it makes your marks go down. Like if you get 80% you'll get 60% or seomthing...Anyways, have ou done IPT? I don't like it, it's got toooo much theory and no practical work...Anyway, thanks for your advice...I'll think over my decision =)

She enjoys the subtle pleasures of all her subjects, thus negating them as 'work'.

Nothing officially makes your marks go down. You might be scaled down a little, but if you manage to do well and get a mark of 90+, you won't get scaled down. But in saying that... a lot of people have told me IPT is soo boring. So I'd drop it.

Yeah i do IPT.

IPT scales great, it is great for your UAI and it does not make your marks go down at all.

I hated it last year and now i love it i can honestly say i look forward to my IPT lesssons

Year 11 is easy compared to year 12, i do 11 units and it is heaps of work, I think if i did anymore all my other subjects would suffer because i dont have enough time to do that many, I know people who do that many units and they constantly seem stressed out.

Well IPT doesnt scale that great, it averages ~ 23, and average scaling for a subject is about 25. But by all means do it if you like the subject.

yeah, our teacher was saying that he usually struggles to finish the course.....and we're moving pretty quickly. imagine what it would've been like with the old syllabus, which contains 25% more than our one.....
Are you dropping anything by the way? You seem to have much more units than required. :)
