Asian 5 by Juan-Pablo June 28, 2007
The 5 top scaling subjects taken in your HSC years in New South Wales - English Advanced, Mathematics Advanced, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Often, Biology and Economics are used interchangeably or used to refer to the 6th subject required in year 11, but often, people just have Maths Extension 1 and English Extension 1 to make up the 12 units.

It sometimes also refers to just the top ten scoring units that is stereotypically picked by Asians, or just people seeking for a high ATAR: Mathematics Extension 2, Mathematics Extension 1, Mathematics Advanced, English Advanced, Chemistry and Physics.
