is it worth redoing year 12? (1 Viewer)

[user9314]

I really love school and i hate having to choose only 12 units in year 11 (because of my school). Do you guys know anyone that redid year 12 for free education to learn more?

 

[carrotsss]

That doesn’t really sound worth it, you’d be much better off just going into uni and learning wayy more interesting stuff about the topics which ur genuinely passionate about

school is not even free bruh
but yeah no sometimes school feels to surface level so if someone was crazy like that and wanted to learn more they would just go uni cuz high school chemistry pisses me off sometimes why is it sometimes shallow when i want learna dn go more in depth

 

[carrotsss]

school is not even free bruh

You can learn more in university/tafe or whatever you want to do

What do you mean by this?

Bro ur not learning jackshit from the HSC, its basically a shitty demo for something bigger and better.

Tafe or Uni should be good for you, or if you dont want that stress, just self learn

I think she means she wants to do more subjects but feels restricted by her schools unit limit

Repeating year 12 is rarely recommended. You should only consider repeating year 12 under exceptional circumstances which, given the reason for which you are contemplating repeating year 12, is not something that appears to be relevant to you. There are some significant issues with repeating year 12, especially if you are not in a situation where repeating year 12 would be necessary, including:

• Wasting an additional year, which you could otherwise be using to complete your first year in a university degree (or similar).
• Having to work towards a particular ATAR goal from the very beginning, which would place you under pressure for a second time, the only difference being that the pressure from repeating year 12 is not necessary and unjustified.

Not only can you gain more in-depth/specialised knowledge in a particular area by completing a university degree (as opposed to HSC level knowledge, which is limited in comparison), but if the field that you wish to study at university is different from one (or more) of the subjects that you wish to take if you were to repeat year 12, you can always dedicate some of your free time towards approaching those subjects on your own (i.e. separately from school). Not only can you achieve the same learning outcome that way, but you can also do so at your own pace, without the pressure associated with taking the subject(s) as a year 12 student.

I hope this helps!

The reward you get for doing your HSC is a contender for one of the worst effort/reward ratio levels possible.

Australian school 'pays students $500 CASH if they do well in exams'

It’s believed the school paid out more than $100,000 to high achievers last year.
