I have just started year 12, and most people at my school are dropping a subject to do 10 units instead of 12. I am yet to drop a subject and can't decide whether I should drop biology or not.
I don't really like biology as much anymore plus my friends in the class have dropped it. I think the content might get a bit too much for me and I don't know if I will be able to keep up. But in one of my other classes - society and culture - which I really enjoy, but the whole class has already dropped it so I am the only one doing the subject which can be a bit awkward. I would rather drop a subject sooner rather than later and I am leaning towards dropping biology, and just putting up with being the only one in class, but I am not 100% sure yet.
Is this a good choice to make? and what happens if you are the only one in class in terms of the exam and scaling?

bio hard, but if u do society and culture on your own, idk what will happen with scaling, like your raw mark would just end up being your raw mark, so if u do shit, u ain't getting pulled up

I think bio takes a lot of time and effort to be able to do well, so if you don't like it, it probably wouldn't be wise to do it. If you enjoy SaC then you should keep it! Having a one-on-one with the teacher would actually be reallyyyy good in terms of learning, despite it being a bit awkward at first. It'd probably get better as you get used to it. It's like having a private, personalised tutor - I wish I had that lol
Then again, the choice is yours, I'm just giving my opinion :)

Being the only one in your SAC class could provide a pretty good advantage, especially, when it comes to the PIP, you basically have your teacher's full attention, meaning waiting time for drafts, feedback and stuff are way shorter than, say, a class of 15. I think if you really enjoy sac keep it, cause youll be motivated to study for it + its way easier then bio and less memorizing.

yes drop, I despise bio and regret doing it. it is pretty easy tho just brain-dead memorizing and responding to verbs easily If you are looking for an easier subject.
