Hi all. At the moment I am doing 12 units (4u english, maths adv, earth and environmental, art, LEGAL) and I would like some advice and clarification.

Legal studies is the subject I hate with every fibre of my being. Every day I lament picking it. My school has not allowed me to drop the subject because I do English Extension 2 and they are scared of the subjectivity in terms of marking. If 2 units don't count towards my atar, is it a bad idea if I make it legal and just not study because studying legal studies is physically painful and burns me out? Or should I study in case I bomb in my other subjects (even though I'm doing pretty okay in all of them)? Let me know!!!!!!!

Is your legal rank much worse than that of your other subjects? If it'd 90% be your worst subject anyway, even without studying, then yeah definitely don't bother and concentrate your effort on the subjects that will count.

Even if not, burnout is real, and if studying legal prevents you from studying well for your other subjects, then leave it. Forcing you to keep 12 units because of ee2 is unreasonable of your school. The b6 rates in ee1 and ee2 and very high, and so is their scaling, so I wouldn't worry about that too much (especially if you're confident with your major work).

Why would you even fucking should EE2 in the first place. I don't care if you love english. You gain nothing from doing that subject unless you do a useless literature degree or something related to law
And who in the right mind chooses Legal and EE2 together. Just disgusting. Both are heavily writing orientated and one of them is a fucking shit major work. You put yourself in this position. Just fucking drop EE2. But oh yeah...too late.
