    Should I repeat Year 12?

    don't repeat year 12 - waste of time and easily to lose hope in, like "why am I doing this again" or "why am I still bad". repeating a course is easy to get tired in (as it's nothing new) so it's best to do an internal transfer instead, as others have said hope you are okay, parents can be very...

    The Problem with Rote Learning

    Sad about HSC Marks..

    not well well but not bad, if you got a mid band 5 onwards for music 2 it shouldn't be that bad, and maybe <75 for music extension might drag you down
