What would you do if you failed your vce?
I'm not too sure what 'fail' means, so I'm going to tackle a few different scenarios.
Failing, as in not satisfying the criteria to pass the VCE:So to pass VCE you must complete 16 units. This must be 3 units of an English subject, where at least one must be Units 3 or Units 4 (So out of Unit 1, 2, 3, 4 English, you have room to fail one of those). You also need to pass 3 units 3/4 studies. So basically, you'd be needing to do at least 4 subjects and pass units 1, 2, 3 and 4 to satisfy the VCE. If you fail one of those, you'd need to take another subject etc.
In this case we have no year 12 certificate and would imply doing pretty damn poorly across the board in most subjects. There's the option of repeating VCE and the subjects you failed, I'd probably take this.
Failing, as in not satisfying the criteria to receive an ATAR:To get an ATAR you need to pass Units 3
and 4 of an English subject and then get a study score for all of these subjects. So in this case we still have a Year 12 certificate, but not an ATAR to get into uni.
So let's say I failed Unit 4 English. I think I would just repeat that English subject.
Failing, as in receiving a low ATAR:Let's quantify this as an ATAR less than 30. This probably means bombing out on VCE exams and probably is the most realistic way I would have "failed".
In this case I wouldn't touch VCE again, I already put in the effort to study and VCE isn't that stimulating to be honest. There's those uni pathway courses that I could have considered (e.g. Monash College, MIBT and similar stuff to what RMIT and VU offers with doing a TAFE-ish kinda course before). That's if I still wanted to go to uni, which would most likely be the case.
Otherwise, my ultimate back up option probably would have been is to consider just doing a TAFE course on the side and trying to get into the workforce - in which case would probably be IT since that's probably the only relatively employable skill I currently have.
Question: Do you think the world would be better off without money? Why?
