Ever the English and maths enthusiast you are, Lotto! ;) how's med treating you? You should be back from your session break, yes?

As for the actual question--very, very possible. Several people do it every year at our school. I sympathesise (sp?--been writing sympathetic and parasympathetic system way too much) with your situation Kujah--and extension units can be pretty hard to timetable too.

It's not as if you'd want to exceed that though.. Actually technically heaps of things which are sciences don't count as such. Agriculture, maths.. (or I'd have about 10 units of sciences by next year. =P)

Sure you can do five units of history.

The girl who topped my school last year (some insane UAI) did 5U history, 4U English, Legal studies and religion and beat all the science and 4U maths people. Go figure.
