I am a repeater, I have a few questions

    Say I fail a subject, can I take the result of last years LC? If I do worse in a subject than last year, does it use last years result instead? What are my "rights" as a repeater?

    You can use your previous/new grades as entry requirements but your points can only be calculated from one year.

    Eg. You fail English this year... You don't get the points for it, however your pass from English last year will be enough to get you your college course provided you have the points.

    Hope this makes sense. :p

    The total points must come from one year, but entry requirements can come from different sittings, except in the case of entry to medicine.

    So much more concise and clear than mine. :P

    So basically if I fail 2 subjects yet still get the points then I get course? gotcha! thank you :)

    Only if you have passed the subjects you require at the level you require in a previous year.

    Yes I know that's what I meant, they'd hardly let me in with two fails just cause I repeated! :P
