I'm currently on 12 units and am truly contemplating on whether or not I should drop Ancient History to make it 10 units??
My final prelim rank was 10/68 and I honestly dread Ancient, the topics and content are really boring - I've felt this way since the prelim course. I know the HSC course is different but 6 weeks in and I am still finding it to be so boring. If I were to drop down to 10 units I would be focusing all my time on (in brackets are my final prelim ranks):
Advanced English (20/83)
Studies of Religion 2 (I just picked up SOR 2, my SOR 1 rank was 7/133)
Business Studies (10/67)
Legal Studies (7/89)
Modern History (10/34)
I don't do any maths (dropped that shit as soon as year 12 started) or sciences so I won't be needing to do any daily homework. However my subjects are still heavy in content and I wish to focus on continually updating my notes and going through them daily, write practice responses, work on my creative writing, research and do additional reading for Modern etc. Also, if I were to drop Ancient, then I would be able to spend more time on Modern which I didn't for my prelim course which brought me down a lot AND work on getting good ranks because I started off really bad during my prelim course.
Since the line I picked Ancient on has another Business class which my Legal teacher teaches (whom I prefer VERY much over my current Business teacher - I got a new one for year 12) I would also be able to (well try) to swap to that class. Because right now I feel like we are going no where in my current Business class whereas the other class is far ahead of us.
