should i drop

[parthie]

I dont know if i should take economics or legal studies. I feel like I enjoy legal studies more and im better at it but economics scales better so im not sure? any help would be great

[sudodds]

If you do better in legal studies and you enjoy it more, then the scaling doesn't matter. Economics was one of (if not the) highest scaling subject that I had, and it didn't even count towards my ATAR.   You're more likely to do well in a subject that you enjoy, and are willing to put the necessary work in - and eco takes a lot of work. (note this perspective is slightly biased though because I didn't really enjoy eco as much as my other subjects hahaha)

100% agree with above, if ur motivation/enjoyment for legal can take you from a B5 to a B6 it is irrelevant what eco scales to.

Yeah this is one of the few times that a subject choice is a bit of a no brainer - If you enjoy Legal more then choose it! You'll always do better in a subject you enjoy. For example, my school offered History Extension, but I ain't picking History Extension (even though it scales way better than Legal) because History bores me to tears (sorry sudodds, please don't hurt me...)

But yep, always stick with what you are passionate about

(Ps - The scaling difference between Legal and Eco is like non-existent anyway)

Anyway on the original topic I don't need to input more. Keep legal, drop economics. No more needs to be said.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for disagreement seeing as how we're both going to UTS!
