For Year 11: How many do you have to incur N-Warnings before you fail the year? (1 Viewer)

[Falla]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I'll be grateful for any answers.

So, in my last term of year 11, I received two N-Warnings for 2-unit Mathematics, redeemed the first one and will redeem the second one on Tuesday. That's the situation I'm in right now, and my Prelim exams start tomorrow (or 12 hours from now).

I did some googling and some poking around the Bored-of-Studies forum, but I haven't found a clear enough answer to my question:

Is two N-Warnings in one course enough for the principal to potentially fail me for year 11, or is it two N-Awards? I have 12 units all up.

If two N-Warnings is, in fact, enough for me to fail the year, generally, what can I do about it? My attendance is sitting just above 75% too, so if the N-Warnings don't get me, I'm sure that will.

Oh, and will my performance in the prelim exams for maths affect whether the school decides to pass me? I'm doing terribly in maths at the moment, ranking somewhere around 65 out of the 70 people in the course with somewhere around a 40% average for all my assessments so far (though I'm performing fairly well in every other course).

I'm aware that these are questions better taken up with my school's staff, but I would like some general information on the subject beforehand.

Thanks in advance!

At my school it is 2 or more for one specific subject but you're clearing them up and also it depends on the school. Normally if you aren't a hassle to the school they won't have you repeat even with 2 and you seem to be going good in your other subjects so I find it unlikely that you'll fail. Pretty sure its below 70% attendance at my school to fail.

Thanks for the response!

That sounds encouraging. Based on what my Legal Studies teacher told me last week (and the speaking to they gave me a month ago), they seem to be getting on me about my attendance somewhat, so I was a little worried about that. I don't think it's a huge cause for concern, however. My behaviour hasn't warranted any real concern this year or any other year, and I work hard for every subject that isn't mathematics, so the school does like me.

With any luck, I'll pass the year and be able to drop down to General Maths (because my school doesn't let me drop down to 10 units) or work on actually performing well in Advanced Maths.

Hopefully.

But yeah, thanks for the input! Guess the school'll call me down soon if they're considering failing me. Hoping all this stress for prelims doesn't end up being for naught.
