repeating the hsc (1 Viewer)

[lil_miss]

hi... not exactly sure what sub-forum this would belong under but here goes...

does anyone know anything about repeating the HSC? i hear lots of stuff like, if you do the same subjects, you can't get 100% (which is unlikely anyway) because they take a certain percentage off?

help please anyone? im seriously considering it... im totally screwed.

I don't believe they take off a certain percentage off just because a person is repeating.

You do however have the option to keep a particular mark you were satisfied with to be used for the year you are repeating so that you don't have to re-do it unless you want to achieve a better mark in that subject.

Also, you should realise that if you do repeat, then your most recent attempt would be considered regardless of whether it be better or worse than the previous one.

I think only 2 yrs could towards uai.
yr 1: 60,70,90
yr 2: 80,60,- (you choose not to do it.)

Final
80,60,90. (get it?)

i have a feeling you can accumulate for up to 5 years?

 

[SoulSearcher]

You can accumulate the HSC over a period of 5 years, according to their handbook:

You may accumulate the Higher School Certificate over a period of up to five years. The five-year period commences in the first year you complete an HSC course

But for contribution towards the UAI? I remember hearing someone accelerating HSC IPT in year 10. Therefore, perhaps 3 or more years would be a more logical answer.

Its five years, if one started their HSC in 2005 then one could continue accruing units till 2010 and still be eligible for contribution toward the UAI.
