Pick up advanced again

Cool! If it is going to put you in a better place in your own head I think it's a good move, that's half the battle sometimes - Good luck! :)

I want to echo Jamon's point!

If you're constantly down in the dumps with Standard, then maybe by being under acute pressure to catch up into advanced would also lead you to feeling down, but when you've successfully caught up you could feel a real sense of achievement and your entire attitude to English would change for the long term. To me, it seems worth the risk to try and move into Advanced. But, you're also not in worst case scenario by being stuck in Standard.

Please keep us posted!

After getting my hopes up for a moment (still with doubts),  the teacher is unwilling to take me...  My current teacher from standard was very frustrated when she learned about my intention to transition into advanced....  I have had a letter prepared and I do ask other teachers to help me put convince (the process is going to be very complicated).. Most said it's better not to try pick it up due to the workload, but also there are people out there who told me it is worth the risk and I should try it...  One of the teachers decided to help me out by giving me a pink form (subject change form) and told me to get my parents write a letter then he will try do something about it...  Sometime in the afternoon, the headteacher (who took the Advanced class) emailed me a feedback on my essay and told me I am looking at a 'high B' which means I still have a long way for a band 6 (for my current assessment)... At this time I am also considering TAFE (do my HSC there)

Are you considering moving all of your HSC to tafe or are you talking about applying to do Advanced through tafe if they don't let you in your school?

clovvy:
I am planning to move all of my HSC through TAFE (not too sure about this yet) but if I could pick it up at TAFE maybe I would...  If I do pathways then I'll take extension english and do my sciences the year after (which I am not too sure about either)...  Considering I bombed my first assessment (11/20), I am not sure if I should start all over again and finish this year at TAFE, do pathways there or just stay at school
