I'm currently struggling to decide between keeping 12 units or dropping to at least 11 units.

I was thinking of dropping SOR2 to SOR1, but the ATAR contribution of SOR2 is very good if I get a band 6. However, doing 12 units means I will be doing 20% more work than required. In contrast, I would consider dropping 4U maths. But, I enjoy the content and it's not like I hate studying it all the time - just, sometimes I feel like I require more time to do well in it than what I have.
Another consideration is Bio because it will give me a ton of studies which I could redistribute for time.

Can someone help me!! I'm halfway through term 3... Does anyone have any personal experiences or heard of others, or just help please!?


Semester 1 Rankings:
Eng Adv (requirement)
3U Maths- #1
4U Maths - #2
SOR2 - #2
Biology - #1
Chemistry - #2

highly doubt sor will give you a better contribution towards your atar than 4u. Esp since you like the subejct more. Jus drop the sor imo
