I don't usually like threads that ask "which subject should I do" because the answer is usually pretty self-explanatory.
But in this case, I'm going to contradict myself and say eek! I don't know..
Currently, I'm doing 13 units (wasn't planning to do them all just wanted to start with it and see what I didn't like):
My subjects are as follows:
Maths Advanced
Maths Extension 1
English Advanced
English Extension 1
English Extension 2
Economics
Legal Studies
Music I (NOT 2)
Now I've already found myself getting into the 4 Unit English course, as I LOVE english! But I find 13 units too much for me, and I want to drop down to 11.
I really don't know if I want to drop Legal or Music. We haven't received our preliminary reports yet but after asking around I know I'm 8/27 for Legal and 2/10 for Music I. In Music I, I am finishing 8th grade piano (thinking of doing Associate) and would hope to come first as I didnt really try at the aural this year thinking I would drop it; I was 1st in performance though. Our Year 11 teacher didn't really help me much, but now we are getting the head teacher of Music. Also after re-assessing my options, I don't know if I will enjoy Legal though I have found the HSC course much more rewarding.
Even though I don't like taking into consideration the scaling and capping of subjects, I do see Music I to be affected in both areas. I'm all a bit confused on this, but IF you get a Band 6 in Music will that mark be scaled down or capped? Also, my class is full of many beginners, and I was wondering would that affect me? By the way I am from a selective school, but I don't know if that would matter in this situation. I do love Music, but I had wished there would've been a Music 1.5 as Music 2 isn't taught in our school.
If you want to know my UAI aim, I don't really have one but 93-95 would be really nice. If you have read this, thanks a lot for listening to all my gibberish, but I would really appreciate any replies. Cheers!
