    Is anyone else repeating 6th year? After getting 375 in the leaving and not getting a single offer I'm in the midst of trying to get my school to let me repeat. I done transition year as well so this is going to be my 7th year in the school. I've a feeling I'm not going to enjoy this haha.

    I'm repeating too!! Big difference between mine and your situation though. I did my LC in 2007 and the results matched my attitude. So after 3 years of soul searching I chose what I wanted to do career wise, I weighed out my options and decided repeating was my only option. Then I had to decide between my previous school or to go private. Didnt have seven grand in my pocket so public all the way!:D Dreaded the first day, I knew hardly anyone! Still know hardly anyone!! Sorry about my rant :eek: How are you finding repeating?

    Well technically I haven't got the all clear to repeat yet, I was holding out for the second round today but still didn't get what I wanted. I'm going into the school tomorrow to talk to the guidance counsellor/principal about it. I really hope I'm allowed as I don't have a clue what I'm going to do if not.

    Also, good on you for figuring out what you want and doing it!

    Could easily do a PLC and get more points to add on.

    From what I understand if I do a plc I can only use the points for IT's?

    Not necessarily, though there are more IoT courses accessible by that route.

    You would want to check out admission requirements for the college / course you want.
