You're not taking up ranks anyway, you aren't affecting the way they perform. If anything at all you are making them work harder to try and beat you which is beneficial to them.

Go for it, the better you do this year the easier it will be next year to get a high UAI, so make the best of it :D

No.... yr 11s accelerating shouldn't affect the performance of yr 12s...

We got that same crap about our year 10 class accelerating to HSC in another subject, and how we "didnt have to study for as many subjects", thus it was unfair on them.

Obviously they have no idea how the mark allocation to ranks works. It does no detriment to them at all.

Having younger students do my course wouldn't bother me at all. (On a side note, theres a guy in our school in year 8 doing HSC 4U Maths, and somewhere in the top 5).

If you have the opportunity - go for it. As a Victorian, nearly everyone does a year 12 subject in year 11 which means that most opt to do five subjects in their final year instsead of six.
At our school nearly everyone does two year 12 subjects in year 11, regardless of ability, which lessens the work load to only four subjects in the final year. Doing seven subjects for instance is almost pointless as only the top six are counted.

Perhaps a looser approach is taken as the worst two subjects are only counted for 10% towards the aggregate TER/UAI out of the six.

Actually, tis is good for the yr 12s.. they WANT you to get good marks in the HSC to pull their marks up! just like you want smart people in your school, no matter how bad your ranks looks, it'll be good for the scaling in the HSC exam.

they should really be thanking you.
