I don't know whether I should keep Math Extension 1 as a subject because I am ranked 8th but am getting 49% for prelims and I feel mentally exhausted with this subject. Is the scaling for Math Extension 1 worth it?

if you feel exhausted doing it, then it's probably best to not do it. the scaling is good, but only if you're willing to work hard, and it's best to focus on subjects that don't drain you instead (you can definitely still get the same atar even without ext 1!)

show me ur exam (u can cover ur school name if u wish) and I can determine which company paper they are. Rule of thumb: independent papers are trash and unrealistic and are in no way indicative of actual HSC performance.
