Say for example, the subjects I choose to do in year 12 are:
2 units adv. english
1 unit ext. 1 enlish
1 unit ext 2. english
2 units modern hisoty
1 unit history ext.
2 units biology
2 units PD

That makes 11 units. Only ten units will count, though. What happens if my extension subjects (only one unit courses) are my highest scoring subjects? Will one not count simply because they need to exclude only one unit? I have a feeling my biology will be my worst by far and I would hate to work so hard in an extension subject only to discover it didn't count!

Does anyone know how they go about excluding one subject from your HSC mark?

Thank you

if ur extension subject is the highest scoring subjects, it will still count. for example u got scaled mark of 80/100 in biology, so half of it (40/50) will count toward ur ATAR.

As stated it will be halved, plus all 2 units are halved anyway, thats how they take the top 10 units, as they're all individual units after being halved.
