Repeat the HSC: Yay or 'Nay' (1 Viewer)

[Mr_Sunlight]

So I failed, Haha.
Should I repeat?
What are your thoughts?

 

[Absolutezero]

Fail as in completely failed, or failed as in did poorly?

If the latter, what marks?

 

[michaeljennings]

I reckon if I had no friends I would repeat year 12 just because I feel like I could do better

 

[Alkanes]

I don't like the feeling of wasting another year.

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

Failed as in both the aforementioned.
English Standard = 48%
Gen. Maths = 24%
Economics = 43%
Biology = 52%
IPT = 54%
SOR 2 = 34%
But I got Superb prelim marks. I just got lazy D:

just ace the hsc and you can get into your 70's and 80's.

Iirc last time this came up most people went with it's best to move on with life and maybe do pathways/newstep/alternate entry or think about other options rather than wasting another year. That of course depends on if you actually have some desire to go do it again or want to do something that requires a good HSC result with no feasible alternates.

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

Haha You make it sound eassssy!

[Mr_Sunlight]

Yeah I thought about those. But I want a MBBS or a combined of Law / Sci.

[Alkanes]

LOL well you shoulda worked harder if u want to do MBBS/Law.

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

LOL, I know.
I just gave up, burned out I believe it is called..

[Alkanes]

Too late for regrets and sorrow now i believe :/

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

Thus the question about repeating?

I wouldn't really recommend repeating the HSC. There's other ways into the course/life you want, and at this point they're probably easier.

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

That is what I'm thinking.
But I know I could have done better, and depending on the choice I make to do a year or a complete redo of it,
It wil only be like 1 - 2 years. Which would probably be easier and quicker then other ways?

 

[Alkanes]

Hmm like i said i don't like the idea of wasting another year. Well in your case you will waste 2 years if you do choose to take this option.

 

[Absolutezero]

TBH, your subjects don't lend themselves well to getting a really high mark anyway. It's probably easier to just graduate and move forward.

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

Yeah, True.
But if I did the full two years, I would change my Subs.
Something like:
Eng X2
Jap Cont.
Jap Ext
Modern
Hist Ext
Economics
Or something, how would these score you think if I averaged 80-85%

[Phoenix Fury]

Couldn't you just redo year 12 same subjects and (hopefully) put in more effort and win?

 

[Mr_Sunlight]

Well that is another option, but I don't like the classes the much they're pretty boring. haha
