Subject dropping advice (eng ext 1) (1 Viewer)

[antipasta]

hi, i am in year 11 and am currently doing 14 units, 2 of which are accelerated. I am doing 3 hsie subjects which 2/3 are quite content heavy and also do up to ext 1 maths. the subject which i am thinking of dropping is english ext 1. i am currently ranked 6th out or around 43 with the third highest mark. i told myself i would drop if i got a bad mark but i got a good one so i kept it so far. i am certainly taking maths ext 1 to the hsc and the only subjects i can drop at this point is the exts, which leaves only english ext 1. bc i do quite some content heavy subjects, i feel that i would benefit from dropping 3u eng, due to extra study periods and can come home early/leave late. i also neglected eng ext for task 1 until around 3-4 days when i started my draft and did some practice. i got lucky as one of my practice was a lil bit similar to the actual question so i ended up doing well. but i am not doing as well in maths ext 1 and would want to, so i can therefore dedicate more time towards it with the free time and also spend more time in eng adv, where i got a mid A. I am quite interested in the topic learnt in ext 1 eng, but was told by friends and family that i should just do what i feel. I also feel as though i originally took the subject to prove that i was indeed good at english and was planning to drop within the first couple weeks. after receving task 1 marks, I also told myself that i would probably drop when i get a bad mark. but i do need the extra time for my content heavy subjects + maths and most importantly, my accelerated subject.
