    Should I completely change my idea?

    So I had this story completely developed in my head. I know the characters inside out, the setting, the events in the story - I had it all perfectly planned to the T.

    Confused about having 11 units...

    I read some threads that explained what happens with your ATAR if you have 11 units but I didn't really understand, could someone explain it to me simply? My subjects are in my sig. I have 11 units in total. But physics is easily my worst subject, I don't know if I'll even pass it...so since...
