Dropping Mathematics? Pros and Cons (1 Viewer)

[Kreisler]

Can you guys assist me in making my decision? I'm really bad at mathematics and I hate it; I'm more of an english guy. Can someone help?

To successfully come to a conclusion of whether you should drop it or not , you must ask yourself these questions first. What pathway are you planning on taking in university? As such some of them require maths as a pre requisite. Then you have to consider whether your other subjects might be affected by the change and also if you are that positive with your english skills

Which universities still impose prerequisites for mathematics?

USYD is imposing 2U maths as a prerequisite for a ton for degrees from 2019:

- Economics
- Commerce
- Education (Science/Mathematics)
- IT
- Engineering
- Science (including Medical Science)
- Pharmacy
- Psychology
- Medicine
- VET

And many universities will soon follow very shortly.

Can you keep it and just not focus effort on studying it?


Consider degree/field you want to enter into the future

Teacher quality

Previous cohorts performance in your subjects

Size of your current subjects/ranks?

If I were to keep maths, I'd have to do the HSC with 13 units as I have no desire of dropping anything else.

Do you need it for anything? And if you're dropping from 2U, go straight to no maths. General and doing no maths stills requires you to do bridging courses.
