Hi, I've been concerned whether to drop 3U maths or not for few weeks now and I need suggestions please
My tutor and some other people think with the marks I am getting, 3U won't count into my top 10 Units in the ATAR, thus I should drop and spend more time on other subjects and improve on them.
However, my school teacher (spent 30 years teaching) strongly disagree with the above idea, and keeps telling me that I will improve and my 3U will count into the top 10 Units.
The thing is, I'm not confident with any of my 3U topics and I sort of have to relearn them which aren't too difficult, but I always struggle to apply the knowledge into the actual exam questions. So far, I've been keeping 3U just for the scailing but everyone told me that if I can't get at least in the 70s the scailing won't do much and it will have no affect on my ATAR. I think if I did study (which would be the two days before the 3U exam) I might be able to just get in the 50s.
My overall Yr12 marks were:
Standard English: 75
2U : 74
3U: 60
Chemistry: 77
Senior Science: 90
Heritage Korean: 99
My tutor said improving 2U to 80-85 without 3U will give me a higher ATAR, then having 3U counted in. I haven't started studying for chemistry yet and I was going to spend the extra days on it if I don't have to do 3U. So should I drop 3U and study for the other subjects more or should I just keep it?
I don't know what would get me a better ATAR and what the "smartest" decision is.
