of course not mate.. but as agronaut said You couldn't just finish in year 10 then walk in two years later and say "Hi, I wanna do the HSC".

but you can do it through tafe as a compressed course or do it during the year 12

You can compress, you can't skip- at least not in the way you're suggesting. Apart from Music 2+Ext and the Beginners languages, you can legally compress any and all of the prelim/HSC courses, *however* it is not always a good idea to do and not all institutions will allow you to do it. For instance, fresh out of year 10 you could apply to do Mathematics+Ext 1+Ext 2 and sit the HSC for it that year, but that would probably be insane to do unless you had an intense gift in math. Its also problematic in that, apart from at TAFEs you can't really compress anywhere else - schools would have difficulty teaching you because of the schedule their classes run to so most wouldn't do it...and the other option is to do it externally, but that is making it even harder on yourself again. Furthermore, people who do go right from year 10 into the compressed program usually take less subjects because it is such a heavy load - in essence it is taking 22 units or more in 3 terms, admittedly some of those units may be easier than others but that is still the constraint if you want to walk right into year 12 after year 10 with no waiting.

No thats not what I mean.

What I mean is, I am currently doing the HSC course.

But I haven't done preliminaries. But my school let me do it anyway.

I'm actually doing very well like coming Top 10 out of 50 ppl.

With a mark of 70s.

What happens?

I'd say that means that your school "fudged" your prelim paperwork to put you through. As long as the Board doesn't get it shoved under their noses too directly you should be fine.

Unless there is a certain detail youve forgotten to tell us, your school should not let you do the HSC course.

You could have your HSC void if you attempt it....


However, i think you are neglecting an important detail somewhere. The school couldnt have entered your courses into the BOS database without you having done prelim (The system checks your eligibility before approving)
