Why wont your school let you do 10? Im going in with 13 I really hope I can handle it haha

they introduced some retarded policy to maximise our marks or some shit lol, I wonder if that's even legal?
omg 13? good luck!! are you doing 4 maths 4 eng?

 

[lightthefuze]

Anyone doing more than 12 units?

say au revoir to sleep

 

[Stygian]

lol no, I'm a little iffy even with 12 units. School won't let me drop down to 10 and fk no I'm not going to keep eng ext just to be on 11

Your school should not have a say in controlling whether or not you can drop down to 10.

i guess the deputy may let me if I break out in tears and kneel on the floor begging but I'm not that desperate
besides, I'm not 100% sure on which subject to drop

 

[lpodtouch]

since when is that the Asian 5? :/

Always thought the Asian Five comprised of the Sciences + High Levels of Maths

Wasn't sure about Eco though :/

i thought it was 3 maths, phys, chem, eco and bio (optional though). but i guess no one has really defined it?

 

[J280]

isn't it English Advanced/4U/Phy/Chem/Eco?

 

[lpodtouch]

Nope.
One of my friends has decided to do 14 units, picking up 4u maths. Good thing it's provisional because I'm not sure how he or anyone would cope. :/

 

[Axio]

isn't it English Advanced/4U/Phy/Chem/Eco?

Yeah I always thought that it was this but only 2 out of Physics, Chemistry and Economics.

 

[IcyRain]

Your school should not have a say in controlling whether or not you can drop down to 10.

at my school, if you drop down to 10 or 11, you must get a signature from the head teacher of every subject you are currently doing. before they give you the signature, they look at your performance currently and if it is too low, they might strongly encourage you to keep the extra units as a safety net due to poor performance in subject X.

however, despite the warnings and all that, unless you're pretty much last, the head teachers will give you a signature.

after obtaining all these, then you have to go see deputy principal A - and explain your scenario and reasoning for dropping to 10 or 11. and properly discuss any concerns relating to it.... once the DP is fine with it, they will give their signature, and effectively you are now authorised to drop the units you wanted it.

so at my school as an example, although they do not control whether you drop to 10/11, they have a pretty big say. and after intense discussions with some kids, have knocked back a few students, declining to let them drop whatever they want.

whether the school is allowed technically to do this is another matter....

Decided to drop bio.

No regrets.

Good call

A lot of people at my school like the idea of having a safety net

I'm one of the very few "daring" to take on 10 units (depending on whether my application is accepted for extension 2)
