I have gotten my FIA2 results for year 11. How much harder will it be in year 12? considering my grades now
FIA2 General Maths - 22/49

FIA2 English - 19/25

FIA2 Modern History - 25/25

FIA2 Biology - 18/20

FIA2 Chemistry - 17/20

FIA2 Legal Studies - 21/25

Im thinking of dropping chemistry and was just wondering if it is significantly harder or what

I’m a Year 11 student trying to choose between keeping Chemistry or dropping it for Legal Studies + Certificate IV in Justice Studies. I have to decide tomorrow.

Right now my subjects are:

• English
• General Maths
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Modern History
• Legal Studies

If I drop Chemistry, I would replace it with Certificate IV (which means a study line where I work independently, often in the library).

My situation:

• I got A (21/25) in Legal Studies even with an incomplete draft, and my teacher encouraged me to stay in it.
• Chemistry is wayyy harder for me, especially exams (I do better in assignments).
• I somewhat enjoy Legal Studies and feel more confident in it.
• I feel like Chemistry gives me “academic validation” and puts me in the same group as high-achieving students.
• I’m unsure about my future career, but I’m considering:
  • law
  • business,
  • international relations,
  • urban planning,
  • and possibly medical fields (medicine, radiography, sonography, etc).

The dilemma:

• Chemistry keeps more science/medical pathways open but is stressful and difficult for me.
• Legal + Cert IV aligns better with my strengths (writing, research, humanities) and may help my ATAR more realistically.
• I’m worried about closing doors if I drop Chemistry, but I also feel like I would perform better and be less stressed without it.

The decision:

I have to choose tomorrow between:

• Keeping Chemistry (harder, more “prestigious”, more science pathways open)
• Dropping Chemistry for Legal Studies + Cert IV (stronger fit for me, potentially better results, but less science flexibility and a study line in the library)

If anyone has advice from experience (especially QLD ATAR students), I’d really appreciate it.

Next week I am going to a birthday dinner. But I dont really know much people there and I will definitely be meeting new people. How can I not run out of things to talk about?? I dont even know what to talk about?? Any tips for anything

Is this a bad gift: 2 petit blocks and twix???
