I was doing 16 (11 UAI) at the begining of this year.
I changed a few subjects.
Dropped six units.
Picked up four.

Not because it was too hard, with that work load.
But because I hated 'Work Studies'.
Shudder.
One of my units is a one term course.
So after these holidays, I have 13 (11 UAI).

Next year, I plan to drop down to 11 (11 UAI).
Pick up English Extension 2 (12 UAI).
Then drop two more units.
So I will finish with 10 Units.

Anyhow, stats have shown that the a majority of those who score a UAI of 100 only do the minimal 10 units - that a mere 10 units. Every unit counts, that's right!

Wrong. I can't find the official document, but NO students who got 100 last year did only 10 units.

True, but it is possible, just that no one did it last year.

I thought it'd be much more common for people to do more, because chances are if they are that smart they would have done some subjects a year early.

Yeah, I'd say that at elast 2 units by most were accelerated.

Oh yeah, of course it's possible. Unlikely, but impossible.
