    I've already lost 20% for home ec and I'm guaranteed to fail Chemistry. So I was wondering what options are left?
    I can't do applied maths, I'm terrible at maths.
    I can't do Agriculture science.
    Is there anything else?

    Economics, Business and Physics if you work over the summer.

    I think Accounting too but I'm not sure.

    Accounting is very doable. Will take some practice, but you could learn it over a summer and ask the accounting teacher in your school. Business and Economics afaik are "sit down and learn this book and be able to rewrite it", accounting is numbers though and OP doesn't like em

    Oh yeah forgot about that, so Physics is out too then I guess. But the maths involved in Physics is pretty easy.

    You've already switched courses mid year (from ty to 5th yr)
    You are writing off the full 20% in home Ec even though you've gotten good advise in another thread about to maximise marks
    You're already assuming you are going to fail chemistry

    Sorry op

    There isn't any subject (IMO) that will be easy enough for you to do on your own in a year given your flaky past record.
    Stick with the sibjects you have - you picked them for a reason in the first instance - and knuckle down and do the work for 6th yr and you'll be fine

    Business is lovely! Seriously, look into it some more! I hated it when I started it, but I've become quite fond of it. Its a lot of common sense.
