should i drop 3u math? (1 Viewer)

[jane1820]

im getting around 70s in 3u math (currently top 5 in my class) and i dont struggle w it at all, but recently it has been confirmed that my school is not running 4u class bc only i wanted to do it and since then ive been considering of dropping it

cons: its too much effort, i have to wake up at 5:30 to get to class on time, its just one unit, might not even contribute to my atar
pros: i think i can band 6

also i havent really done much studying for it and my prelim starts on the 22nd, which is very less time if i have to balance out my other subjects (that im also worried abt)

im thinking of dropping it now before prelims, but idk
any suggestions?

also bc im so confused on ext i have totally bombed my AT2 for advanced and got a 66% and i think this might keep going in yr 12
and now ive been too confused on adv that i have neglected 3u, i cant seem to find a balance

bro why would u make it one unit only then, should've done ext 2 as well

bro why would u make it one unit only then, should've done ext 2 as well

she said that she can't do ext 2 cause the school's not running it

firstly that is infuriating your school isn't running a class, at my school there is only 3 now 1 kid in ext 2 and 2 in ext history. Surely you can get some kids to sign up for first term and quit half way through?!

But otherwise, do you actually enjoy the subject? That should be the key concern, because hopefully enjoyment outweighs the effort. But I think too maths ext can also help your mathematical ability in general, also boosting your adv marks in the long term. Also I see you do physics, physics + ext/adv go well together in terms of overlapping content, so the better you get at maths overall the better youll probably do in all 3 subjects.
What subject were you thinking of dropping if not ext?

Also for the record I do Biology, physics, chem, 3 unit english, maths ext and maths accelerated .

i wanna drop physics thats why im considering dropping 3u
but the thing is sometimes im too focused in ext i forget to put in the effort for adv (eg my AT2 for adv was a 66% bc i was putting in effort for 3u)

If you drop Physics it should give you ample time to make Adv more of a priority, as Ext should not be sucking that much time out of you. As long as you do the respective textbook questions for Adv each day you should be fine. but once again if you're not passionate about maths/maths ext, then, it might be best to drop.
