HI guys I've started a similar thread last year but now with some new knowledge am really stressing over my decision. I am doing 13 units and am dropping either bio or extension science. Previous info I received stated that the scaling was minimal due to the 1 vs 2 unit difference i the courses and the fact that I was getting a good mark in Bio 80-90% range.
However, after seeing ATAR results for 2021 and 2020, as well as using the Atar calculators, it seems that science extension has a large scaling benefit if receiving good marks around 35-40 out of 50 compared to Bio in the 80-90 range out of 100. I was initially worried about 11 units as my maths mark was relatively low and may have brought my mark down even with science ext, but the data seems to indicate that even a 60-70% in maths and a 40/50 in science ext will enable me similar marks to an 85% in Bio with room to improve.
Is someone able to confirm or deny this info and how say hard would it be to maintain a high mark in science ext?
