Imo you should do at least 1 science to achieve some sort of balance.

Sciences are good because they 1. scale well 2. resources are very easy to find and stay consistent (unlike eco). 3. easy to study for. 4. no huge essays
Do this if you're good at science.

You need average state rank in 4U to get 90+. You need to be in approx top 20% in 3U to get 90+. Approx top 6% for chem and 5% for physics. And really top percentile for low-scaling subjects.
Thanks for the info.:spin:

How would we know? We don't know you. We don't know your strengths, we don't know your weaknesses. Noone on this site can give you a proper response to that question.

Oh - yeah. That's better. I thought you meant average state rank....which meant coming 5th in the state or something. :p

English and English Adv? You mean English Adv and English Extension 1, right?

Still, you'll be doing 12 units... that's a pretty good thing to be doing. Of course if you like the subjects, if you do them for scaling... you might want to reconsider.

I'd personally take out point 3, 4 and place an emphasis on 1. I think it doesn't matter how 'hard' you consider the subject to be - it all really depends on your personal aims. If you like your subjects enough you're bound to put enough effort into it, resulting in getting decent grades.
