School = total waste of time. I spent most o fthe school days asleep in class, my m8 woke me when we had to go to a different lesson. Then woke up when it was time to go home, went of skating and then got drunk.

 

[lil_striker90]

/me giggles

Here, the grading system for a lot of courses (including GCSE) is A*-A-B-C-D-E-F-G then U (which is unclassified, and a fail). Then there's courses with Distinction-Merit-Pass-Fail, and then there's the one I'm on, which is Pass and Not-quite-passed (I've got no idea why they don't just call it fail, but there you go ).

In my GCSEs, I got 8 Bs, 2 Cs and a D (in music- I'm tone deaf, though I sing pretty well). Cs are the average, and what companies are looking for, so I guess I did ok

And yes, I actually study for my college course- I'm top of the class in IT Essentials 2, and about 5th in CCNA 2 (as I've been ill so failed one). I was top for CCNA 1 too, with around 88% ) *bragging off*

Where's my whiteout :nono: University is the Australian/ UK version of College (US), it's a place of 'higher learning' and 'critical thinking/evaluation' (I have my own thoughts on this that I won't air here lol). HSC (Higher School Certificate) is the stepping stone to University, you do pre-requisite subjects targetted at what you would like to do at University, for e.g Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry etc if you wanted to do a Bachelor of Applied Science majoring in Chemistry.

end of yr12 exam determine what you will become in life lol

Not true!!! I have some very good mates who are tradesmen and never went past grade 10 and they earn more than me I might add, one of them is a drywall plasterer and he earns in excess of AUS$100,000 a year. Just because you never complete year 12 doesn't mean that you're destined to clean toilets for the rest of your life. There are avenues available to people who never received their HSC, but yet they can go on to complete a University degree if they so wish. TAFE (Tertiary And Further Education) colleges are one of these avenues, they cater for both trades people and those who want to go onto further academic study. You can receive up to 2 years academic credit or rpl (recognition for prior learning) towards a tertiary degree at a TAFE college, in a variety of flavours...business, science, IT, construction and engineering etc. They are most certainly not a place for drop-outs. You can get them anywhere...I think I've found the most in Universities though rofl.
