**If you cbb to read all this, then plz just skip to the bold part, BUT I would really appreciate it if you could read everything**
So, this seems impossible right now, but ultimately I want an ATAR of 96 to get into the course I want to do. I know it won't be the end of the world if I don't achieve it, since there's so many other options and pathways to uni. But anyway, to my question...
I'm currently doing 13 units, and the lowest scaling subject I'm doing is CAFs (Community and Family Studies). I was ranked 1st in the prelim year, but half the class dropped the subject, and now, I enjoy the subject more but I have this feeling that I'm not going to do that well in the subject.
I got 51% on the prelim year trials, which is obviously very crappy. But I actually thought the exam was easy. My problem is that I can't answer according to the syllabus and hence I get low marks.
According to assessments, etc , I do alright, maybe 80%, but honestly, the whole class isn't great and that's why I was ranked #1. And now there's only like 10 people in the class. I don't know if I can maintain my rank.
Ok, so summed up, is it worth keeping CAFs? I thoroughly enjoy the subject and I was ranked #1 in my prelim year but the minuses are - low scaling, there's way too much info to remember (but then again, every subject's like this anyway), I may not maintain my rank and I can't answer according to what the syllabus says.
The thing is, I also want to drop to 1 unit Studies of Religion, my rank was 9th out of 18 students. But I didn't study at all. I just don't like the subject.
Is it too risky to drop down to 10 units (if I drop both CAFs and 2u Religion)? Oh and is 1 and 2 unit religion the same scaling? Oh and is it better to be ranked 9th/18 students or 25/50 students? Or is it exactly the same? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
Sorry for the length, I have trouble summarising
And THANKS!
