I don't know what to drop software engineering or Chemistry( i am in year 11 rn and my prelims are in 1st september) (1 Viewer)

Hey guys, hope you're doing well
I have been stressing over what to drop for year 12 because software engineering is a new HSC subject, as it got changed from software design and development. The content has been confusing, maybe because most people have not been regularly revising for software and also software teacher is good, and all the exams are online, including HSC.
The problem is that for chemistry, the teacher is good, but I feel like there is too much content, and I already have for biology and investigating science; with chemistry, it is too many concepts to go through. I have been starting to hate chemistry.

So overall, software is a new HSC subject; the teacher has taught us the basics on how to code in Python; we had to revise and strengthen our understanding of coding. For chemistry, there is too much stress and so much content I need to learn. (My subjects right now in year 11 are biology, chemistry, investigating science, software engineering, English Standard and Math Standard.

... so what have they taught you? how could they assess anything?

They have taught us to program fundamental,s and that's about i,t and we are doing programming fundamentals and had a assignment using microbits

you should probably drop software then. No offence intended, I find it unlikely that in a situation where you, as a self-learning student, could perform better than a student with a teacher who knows the content. Of course, that is not to say it's impossible. But if the Bio teacher is good, and the software teacher is bad, i'd keep chem.

I understand the content might be difficult for chemistry, but realistically a good understanding of python is essential for every topic in Software.

hope this helps,

No, my software teacher is good, she teaches everything but the content is not that easy to learn (also i really want to drop chem)

sorry, I misinterpreted what you said... Honestly, if you want to drop chem, do that
it's up to you, really
