Should i drop it while i'm ahead????
Well one thing you have acheived the UAI, ENTER, etc to actually get into such a competitive degree so kudos to you. So first things first you have achieved to be able to get a placement to do something about 1% of the Australian students can do.

At uni in first year everyone I know is feeling as though they have been dropped in the deep end. No matter what course you do it will be a challenge. You probably have it harder because law is a very competitive subject.

Now finally you need to ask yourself as to whether you are passionate about law and why you are doing a double degree! If you truely want to become a lawyer give it another shot next semester and you may surprise yourself.

I have done 3 of my 4 exams and have felt very annoyed at my progress. Physics (my best subject at high school) turned out to be a shocking exam.
