should I drop maths extension 1 (1 Viewer)

[emmalin]

hi guys, I am considering dropping maths extension 1 after the first prelim assessment task where I got around 65% which is equivalent to being ranked around the bottom of the cohort coming from a top 10 selective school. however, what was tested were (unfortunately for me) the 2 topics in mxt1 that I struggle with the most and so I don’t know how well/bad I could do overall until perhaps the school does a second exam. My results in my previous school for maths in year 10 have been quite high but the exams I’ve take recently have taken a huge jump in difficulty (especially since I moved schools this year). Asides from that my average in tutoring centres such as dr du have been around 85% (A1) and I haven’t been struggling that much for maths extension tutoring strangely as opposed to my first school exam and if I drop I would only have 10 units next year which is a bit risky compared to a safety net with 11. I would really appreciate some advice on whether or not I should drop or wait until I see my results for future assessment task such as prelims yearly or give up now and focus more on other subjects



Thanks

65% in ext 1 isnt even bad, it scales really well. plus it is a 65% in a top 10 selective school, so ofc the test would be hard. don't drop, you are doing fine
