hi all

im wanting to redo my year 12 math and english (i got a crappy LA for maths B and C, and an SA for English). All the while getting VHA's for Chemistry and I.T

anyone have any experience in 'mature age' re-doing of subjects

i had a look at the tafe website and couldnt see much

im 23

go for a mature age entry into uni if thats what you want, i don't think they care so much about your prerequisites when you are older

maths is more an aptitude thing for uni applications rather than an actual prerequisite.

Im doing a course now called ATP, adult tertiary preparation. Its pretty much school again, 5 subjects etc. Except you get a ranking instead of an op, but Unis treat it exactly the same as an OP.

I know Southbank and Morton TAFE's have the course. The only course pre-req is that you have to be 18.

If you have done the mature exam, they don't care about your school record at all. The exam covers english, maths and science, so they have a pretty good idea of your skills before you walk in.

nah its not for uni,

its for Army that I am looking at, also would like to have the grades up anyway.

Hey :) I did the ATP course offered by tafe a couple of years ago. It was really great and helped me to gain entry into law. I would definetly recommend it. It only take a year and whilst it does take a little bit of effort it's nothing like the preassures of highschool. It's good to go back and do it as a young adult. I completed mine at the Redhill campus. The staff there were awesome. Very supportive and extremely friendly.

Goodluck :)
