Ok, so I already completed all the things I can do on my side of the process to drop a subject like emailing the deputy, filling in a form, confirming parents' permission etc. a couple days ago. But I'm just wondering in case, because I have an assessment for this subject mid-next week.
I'm assuming by then, if the subject isn't removed from my school timetable and from my nesa student online portal thing then I must still sit the test. (At that point it would be nearly 2 weeks since I submitted the form)

If so, does it matter if I just like complete nearly to none of the test paper.
Or is that kind of disappointing. Idk I kinda feel bad if I'm sitting a test and not trying my best but again it's not going to count towards anything, and right now it's kind of a hassle to study the content for the test when its just going to be removed from my course list hopefully soon after and its content heavy so if I do decide to study for it, I probably would have to spend a lot of my weekend on it.

My concern is that I'm pretty sure they (teachers) see not giving a good attempt at the exam paper as a misconduct in my school's policy, but what is a " not good attempt"? :0

I haven't really told any of my classmates or my teacher that I'm dropping because I kinda insinuated that I would drop the subject earlier in the year.
Even If I explained it to my teacher or the head teacher, I think they still would make me sit the paper if the course is still on my school's timetable for now.

Just try to have basic basic knowledge of what's going to be on it so you can at least attempt an answer for most/all questions (albeit waffle-y) because leaving the majority blank is often seen as a null/poor attempt. But yeah I wouldn't waste time/effort on it. Maybe also try asking the deputy about it? Especially if the dropping process is already taking a while, you could kill two questions with one stone, so to speak. Especially if you're worried about being flagged for conduct - can't hurt by playing it safe!!!
