If you have a passion and interest in mathematics or if you plan to study it at university or follow a career in mathematics, you should definitely consider taking the higher levels now so that you have a good foundation.

On the other hand, if you are only trying to maximise your UAI and don't want ever want to study or have a career in mathematics, I recommend against it.

These are the two options open to you:

(A) Keep your 100 scaled marks and focus your efforts on maximising the scaled marks for your remaining eight units. (Eight units of work.)

(B) Throw away your 100 scaled marks, work hard at four units of mathematics trying to make sure you get those 100 scaled marks back plus more, and also work hard at your other eight units. (Twelve units of work.)

Option B just seems silly to me.

Maybe the compromise is to keep your 100 scaled marks and take only Extension 1.

do it, do it, do it.

You are good enough really. On top of that, doing 4 Unit will greatly benefit you in terms of UAI.

If you don't do 4 Unit, both SOR I and PD/H/PE will count and you know that they have quite a poor scaling. Unless you come top in the state again for PD/H/PE or close to that, your resulting 4 Unit result > basically any mark in PD/H/PE (assuming that you do get 95+ for 4 Unit and I am sure you will)
