I dropped out of school half way through year 12 and went to TAFE and started year 12 again. It was a good move as I find it a better environment to learn in (smaller classes, not as strict, more freedom).
The subject choice depends on which TAFE you go to (go and ask at your local one/s to see what they have). I go to Gosford and can only do 3 subjects there (English, Modern History and IT) I have to do 2 through OTEN (distance ed.) (2 Unit Maths and Physics). You may have trouble if you don't want to do any subjects through OTEN (unless you don't mind doing year 11 and 12 again).
Good luck and I hope you make the right decision.

The HSC at TAFE is exactly the same as the one you do at school so your UAI has no advantage/disadvantage from doing the HSC at TAFE. Doing the HSC can be worth it but it depends on the individual situation (eg. there are other ways to get into Uni other completing the HSC and getting the UAI needed). It would be a waste of a year if you didn't need the HSC for what you want to do but once again this depends on the individual situation.

Yes I got recognition for all my prelim subjects so I only have to take one extra year to do my HSC again.

No problem. I dropped out becasue I just didn't put any effort into any of my subjects and my marks reflected that. I thought having a fresh start would help so I gave it a go.

Just to go further then what Adrian has said you can also do both the prelim & HSC in the one year at certain TAFE and the subject choices there are more then the local high school ranging from Agriculture to 4u maths.

Also there are no UAI penalties associated with doing the HSC at Tafe it depends weather you can do better then the last time you did the HSC and willing to put more work in to it.

[69^boi]

yeh wriggle dats the problem putting more better/improved/harder work in your HSC!! i noe dat you dont have to repeat evry subjects but juz some or all if u prefer...doin a new course means u have to do prelim+hsc again which is tough but then again with great efforts anyone can do it!! grr.... i juz have to believe in myself!!

Against the other people in your class, like school. Through OTEN I guess it would be against the other people doing that course through OTEN.

I thought i'd throw in some more options to confuse you

You can also do a Tertiary Preparation Certificate through TAFE which would give you a Tertiary Entrance Score which is sort of like the UAI but not really and almost all Universities accept it. Chances are with a TES you'd be going into the uni under a different bucket of selection criteria than UAI people.

Then some Universities also have a STATS test

You can see a large number of alternative schemes here
http://www.uac.edu.au/admin/schemes.html

If you decide to go to TAFE you can get some of your coursework recognised and credited at a University level
http://www.avcc.edu.au/students/cred...nsfer/acts.htm

Some Universities will also take into account prior work experience of periods greater than 1 year.

You can also try as mature age in a few years.

But i'm sure someone keen to get into University would have at least read the UAC page on their options if not go to the University websites for each one they wish to attend.

As a final note if you are trying to get into a course requiring a UAI of 90+ and you managed a UAI of less than 75 first time around the chances are you will not crack 90 the second time around and it was not meant to be you getting into the uni with a high UAI.
