I've been slipping alot this year due to various factors, wondering if I can redeem myself for a 90+ and if so what I need to be focusing on. I'm also wondering whether I should drop VA, leaving me with 11 units and if losing the 3 unit buffer will disadvantage me.
Thanks so much!

drop va. it looks like its not counting
its unnecessary stress, esp with 4? majors christ lol
I think 90+ is defs achievable but make sure you have time

Yeah, choosing that many has been such a mistake, majors have been absolutely killing me!
I think I will. Thanks alot

looking at 92-93.

VA is actually quite a low scaling subject-(I am talking from personal experience here having done the subject for my HSC and not having it count towards my ATAR), hence don't overestimate the 3 unit buffer because it might reduce your study time which would be disproportionate to any extra units compensating for any possible poor performances. I would strongly advise you to drop VA as soon as possible. You are progressing very well-particularly in English-keep the good effort up and may you achieve your goals

94, drop it.

Thankyou so much, that's exactly what I needed to hear... I'll go about dropping it tomorrow. All the best! X

And thankyou everyone for the help
