Economics or legal studies (VCE)

M

I am currently doing 1/2 eco and am doing fine but find the content dry at times. I am thinking of dropping it next year to go straight into 3/4 legal without having done the 1/2. Is this a mistake?
I would love to hear peoples experience with both subjects in 3/4, how much 1/2 legal crosses over to the 3/4 and which subject is easier to do well in.
Thank you!

Legal 3/4 is amazing, i didn't do 1/2 last year and I'm ranking #1 (i go to a tryhard school btw)
advantages:

fun subject.
things sometimes link to each other which makes learning the subject easy.
depending on the teacher it doesn't matter if you didn't do 1/2 they go over the content anyway.

disadvantages:

content heavy, u may need to do pre-class reading to make sure you understand what the teacher is saying (especially if they don't explain stuff).
you have to do LOTS of writing and explaining for sacs and exams to get marks.
if you are not interested in the law field you may find it a bit dry.

hope this helps!!!
