Apparently it is easier than Advanced. And the texts are better.

Personally, NO!! Advanced is 10x harder and 100x more competitive. EE1 is genuinely my FAVOURITE unit and it was the most worth my time. However, for me, it depended a lot on my teacher and prescribed texts. I HATED EE1 in y11, doing The Odyssey with a hopeless teacher, but my dreams genuinely came true when I found out we were doing Godot as part of WOU, AND I was getting a better teacher (my y11 teacher got fired). It made studying for EE1 genuinely fun and interesting. I would recommend asking your school's english faculty what texts you're doing before you consider dropping. The hard skills needed for y12 EE1 don't deviate much at all from year 12 advanced, so that's why I think it's my most "value for money" unit. However it's more "researchy"... in the sense that literary theories are more relevant in analysis. That part isn't difficult though.
If you put in the time (a lot less time than advanced for me personally...) you will do well in EE1.
Personally, I'm very happy to have it as a y12 subject
