if i was you i would wait until my prelim marks came out, ask your teachers whether or not they think you are able to handle 4 unit maths and yeah i would drop bio and take up 4 unit only if you enjoy maths not because of the scaling as it is a very heavy subject and is time consuming [n.b. i do not do 4 unit maths but by looking at people who do 4 unit it does look like a lot of work]

I had the exact same subjects as that (cept 2u accel. maths) and I kept all my units plus 4u maths and I'm coping fine. Just dont do ANY religion work and you'll be fine

 

[santaslayer]

i would keep the 13 units just in case....u can really drop it if u feel confident enuff to during yr 12

Bios easy anyway, put a minimum amount of work in and you'll get a reasonable payoff(ie. 1st in the grade )

[felafel]

nooooo! don't drop bio! it's good fun... especially blueprint of life in the HSC course - DNA, and evolution, and other interesting stuff like that

Yes, since this person is obviously taking time away from their English to do bio

you'll find that all three science will link each other mroe in eyar 12. I did the same as caculon, except i accelerated in ext 2 maths. i enjoyed biology the most. i think its like a "get away" from physics chem and 3 unit maths. my friend did the same as you and in year 12, she dropped down to catholic studies and kept all three sciences with ext 2 maths

Liar! I believe that you were not made to sit through SOR1. Oh and whats that problem solving thing, I didn't know that was a subject

It was a USYD course, counts as 1 unit and can't contribute towards her UAI

In year 12 Bio gets much better, believe you me.

Yes, much of it is year 10 bio

 

[elizabethy]

i think u shudn't drop ne subject rite now.....c how u go with 4u n then decide whether u wanna drop ne.

 

[JamiL]

i was goin 2 keep it until i was certian that i was capable of doin EX2 maths... but i dont expect bio 2 be in my top 10 units (english, chem, phys and maths Ex2, and Ex1)... so would it be a waste of time or should i keep it for the saftey....
and the average units for students that get over 90 in the uai is 13 units... that is an intresting fact

well things may change next year. thats what happened for me. i was hoping those subs you mentioned would count, but in the end hated phsyics and now i'm trying my hardest to make it not count.
its actually 12 units.

actualy im almost finished the 2u prelim course cos im doin accelerated mathamatics, and im not finding 3u to hard...
ive always wanted 2 do Ex2 maths... from year 7(mabey not that long ago)....
i think if i try i sould be capable thou

For 100 UAI, what everyone should be aiming for, average number of units is >15 . As the UAI goes down so does the number of units

 

[JamiL]

u say as ur units go up ur uai dose... that is not always the case if u have 10 units and u get 100% in each exam and in each assesment u r likley 2 get a 100 uai...
if u have 15 units n get 60% in everything it would be amazing if u got AA 60+ UAI
