    Highschool does not determine your future unless you allow it to.

    You'll be alright, YaYa.

    I should probably explain a bit better

    this one number literally affects which courses and which universities I can go to with no other mitigating factors

    very little wiggle room in my state

    and also Australia doesn't really do grad schools to my knowledge

    so yeah this is a big thing

    but its not like its some random number. you should be more worried about how much effort you put into school and you should already know the answer to that.

    I did IB which is assessed externally all around the world

    which basically means you might get horribly unlucky and draw some Nazi in Germany who gives a you a C when your teacher recommended an A just because they misunderstood the criteria

    and no there's no way to change it

    e: okay Aus does have postgrad stuff I just checked

    odd that no-one's ever mentioned it but huh

    Man I never even finished High School. Got me some upgrade classes later on and got into University as a "mature student" no problem.

    Also I just lied and said, "High School Diploma" on every application ever. No one ever looked into it.

    I mean I'm not an astronaut or anything but High School had very little effect on my life.

    this isn't true

    you can appeal through your IB school rep you just have to pay uh 100 dollars or something to get it remarked

    but if you got a C you probably sucked, because the concepts you learn aren't terribly difficult

    and the IB markers aren't retards?

    if you studied for the tests you will get at least 5s

    I'm sort of assuming 5's at least which is pretty good to be honest

    and our IB reps never mentioned remarking but our IB reps are idiots

    Fat lot of good that shotguns doing you sitting around with your old man.

    He's gonna burst into the room after hearing you come under attack, and you catch a bunch of errant buckshot as he fires wildly.

    yeaaahhhh

    I didn't really do any work until the last 6 months and that was more out of necessity than choice

    it is not the lazy man's course

    case in point: did a theatre folio worth 25% of my mark in the subject in 18 hours

    I had 18 months to do it
