I don't know which subject to drop for year 12. Please help!

I'm currently doing
English adv
Math
Chem (doing ok)
Physics (doing ok)
Business studies (I'm getting over 90s)
Japanese beginners (I'm getting over 90s)

But I'm thinking of dropping either physics, business or jap

I really like the subjects that I'm doing ok and not well but I hate the subjects I'm doing extremely well... Ugh

I really want to keep Physics tho but I'm risking my ATAR D;

I'd say drop business as it looks like it's a content heavy subject. I don't know, go with your gut feeling or drop a subject after the first assesments

Don't worry about the amount of content, drop the one your are least passionate about because if you enjoy business and are getting over 90s the content won't be an issue

Ranks? School rank?

Previous cohorts performance?

How much you enjoy subjects?

my suggestion is then drop Japanese beginners, partially because you can pick up again, and knowing from doing continuers, that a language is heaps of work in fact language > business in terms of work usually. Unless you absolutely loathe Business. there is a lot of cross-over between Physics and Chemistry though.
