    Hi, I got 305 needed 325 but anyway.

    I will have to repeat so does points carry over. Like I don't really want to do english or say maths again will those points from prviously carry over if you don't redo them. I don't really want to do it all again. I would have to learn 2 yrs in one for English and learn new maths syllabus.

    Please shed some light in my dark corner:(

    Basically yes. Points do not carry over but if you failed say English which you need to enter uni, you can repeat just that subject for Matriculation.

    You need to do 6 subjects at minimum, in one sitting.

    Well how do you know you are 20 points short? The points are yet to be published...

    I missed mine by 5 when I was applying so I know the feeling.

    You can repeat your LC and do totally different subjects unless you failed a requirement for your course or to get into college. I changed several subjects and went up to honours in another. Had a good run of it second time round.

    Not necessarily, Hamlet is on for 2012, as are Theme/Issue and General Vision and Viewpoint. The list of texts is here

    Anyway, you don't know what the points for your course are going to be, so don't despair yet. They rise and fall every year. 325 points merely reflects the demand for that course last year.

    You don't *have* to do English again, if you have it this year as a minimum requirement.

    To maximise your points though you do need to take 6 subjects, you can't combine LCs for *points*.

    And as others have said, don't just presume you've lost out until Monday ... I can understand that it's hard to be optimistic, but the luck might just be with you.
