@Atterbatter226 Hi. I have seriously considered the option of re-sitting the HSC next year and done some research. NESA has offered the so-called path of "self-tuition" since at least 1.5 decades (according to online sources), which effectively entails sitting exams as a private examinee. There will consequently be no "illness and misadventure" accommodations, since this path does not have a school-internal component. It can accumulate on top of a school-based HSC or be completed without having attained a school-based HSC, in which case the marks are still used by the UAC to render an ATAR, but the applicant is not awarded an HSC certificate.

If you take interest in discussing this, send me a message by clicking on my profile and then "Start conversation"! This forum does not allow me to post URLs so I'd be happy to send you sources if you can't find them online.

There still lacks specific information on the process — so I emailed NESA. They said that registration forms for next year's exams will be available from March. The available courses are:

• Ancient History
• Business Studies
• Economics
• Engineering Studies
• English EAL/D
• English Standard
• English Advanced
• English Extension 1
• Geography
• Information Processes and Technology
• Languages courses
• Legal Studies
• Mathematics Standard 2
• Mathematics Advanced
• Mathematics Extension 1
• Mathematics Extension 2
• Modern History
• Personal Development, Health, and Physical Education
• Software Design and Development
• Studies of Religion I
• Studies of Religion II.

Its better to start a related degree and transfer into your desired course, or if you really want to redo the HSC, do it through TAFE. Given that you already have a high B average, I doubt redoing the HSC would prove a substantially better result worth throwing an extra year away. Unless you literally get an ATAR in the 30's - 50's, and/or you believe external circumstances have hindered you enough that it substantially affects your ATAR - then redoing the HSC is a generally bad idea.

Certainly. My conclusion regarding my own circumstance is that pursuing the course of HSC repetition would be needless delay, given that the HSC is not a particularly challenging qualification by international standards (still three months until the exam) and that one has vastly more opportunities to educate themselve once in university, as opposed to being confined to a high-school level. I would also suggest the OP to think about transfer. But I was merely presenting this "self-tuition" option as a possibility.

I'm in year 12, close to the HSC completion, and would like to know if I can retake it.
I'm not doing badly by school standards, even in the case of mental health at the start of the year I haven't fallen below a high B. I have an anxiety disorder that surfaces through irrational perfectionism tho as well as other learning difficulties (believe this is eligible for adjustment factors). I've only learnt to better channel this into effort in the last 2 terms, meaning I had a pretty staggered start. The school I'm at is fairly low in the rankings, and I worry about external marking if I can't rank high across my subjects. I'm looking to go into legal as a passion of mine, and understand the competitive nature of the industry, and that even with adjustment factors I may not qualify. I know this might not make sense, but my end goal is opportunity and I don't mind staying in HS another year. I was wondering if there's any way to re-sit the ATAR after trying out for another school, one that's selective. There's a reasonable chance to get in on year 12/11 grades, if that's what's accepted.
Srsly don't come for me -have yet to research more as I'm not sure if it's possible.

Thank you

dw I kinda goofed up my first assessment tasks dont think about restarting y12 or anything like that, just salvage what your have you still got time for the hsc and get band 6's just use your time effectively now
