    I got the required grade in english last year.
    I'm repeating this year, could i drop it today and use the grade(not points) from last year? I have 6 subjects for the points.

    Edit: I went to school and asked, I was told I did not have to do English.

    Luyola, only spotted this now and hope you haven’t already gone into English! Yes, you can carry subject requirements from a previous year but no you cannot combine points

    I went home after the Principal told me I could carry the grade over from last year. I know you can't carry points over.

    Didn't want to do the English again because for some reason my spoken English gets better and written gets worse every year.

    I only started speaking English in 2005.

    Had planned on doing the speech but god, that title was awful. :pac: and I didnt know what 'indispensible' meant until the end of the exam so did the technology article. But the rest of the paper was nice :)

    I'm sure you'll be fine! They'll probably make allowances for you if your essay was a good standard!

    I did a speech on the importance of mystery in books, an essay on 'my city in 24 hours' and a comprehension on cats..
