So today, my parent went to an HSC seminar and they said that it is better to have more the 10 units of subjects as it provides a safety net against your ATAR
So my subjects are software engineering, chemistry, biology, investigating science, maths and English standard
I was originally planning to do ten units by dropping chemistry, better safe than sorry


so tell me whether to drop to 10 units or do all the subject that i am doing now

It really depends on what your strategy for the HSC is. If you take 12, you get a "safety net". If you take 10, you have more time to focus on your subjects. I'd like to get in early here before the inevitable "there is no safety net" and "there's no reason to do more than 12" posts, to say that there are benefits to both. Personally, I'm doing over ten, but I have 2 accelerated subjects, so my situation is a little bit different.

People succeed with both 10 and 12 units. There isn't really a better option. I'd recommend 10 units if you don't feel like you can handle the course load of 12, but if you think you can, stick with the 12. It's not exactly a gargantuan task.

Hope this helps,

depends on how you feel with ur current subjects. do you feel as if you have a thorough understanding of your course content, or were you only able to have a brief understanding? do you feel as if your assignments couldve being improved with more time?
