Are any 2 units of english compulsory. Like, if you do extension 1 and extension 2, does your advanced mark count? (like with maths, you dont have to 2 unit if you do both extensions)

They take your BEST two units of any English + best 8 units of the rest. For the majority, this is the Advanced/Standard/ESL course. For some, this can be 1 unit Advanced (2 units halved) + 1 unit English Extension 1 or 1 unit Advanced + 1 unit English Extension 2 or even 1 unit English Extension 1 + 1 unit English Extension 2.

What if the ext english subjects take up a chunk of you UAI marks?

ie I do:
2U Maths
4U English
Visual Arts
Textiles
Geopgraphy
+ A non-UAI course at TAFE

Sub-totals:
UAI: 12 units Non-UAI: 2units
Total:14 units

your question doesnt make much sense. UAI takes atleast 2 units of english. not only 2 units. so you can have, and many people do, have 4 units worth of english in thier UAI calculations

and for OP, i did extension 2 english and my advanced mark didnt count. ext 1 and ext 2 english counted as my 2 units. but english is not in any way like math. doing extension 2 english doesnt change the fact that your extension english subjects are worth 1 unit, and advanced is still worth 2 units, and you still do the advanced hsc exam. so dont make any comparisons to math because that will only confuse you.

No, as long as you better in Extension than you did in Advanced.
