Which Youth Allowance category do I choose? Just finished Year 12

I’m a bit confused about which Youth Allowance category to apply for: student or job seeker? I’m 18 and I just graduated VCE this year. I’m currently waiting for my ATAR to come out and for uni offers in Feb. I’ve been looking for a job, but it’s been really hard and I keep getting rejected. When I go to apply for Youth Allowance, it asks which type I’m applying for (student or job seeker). Since I’m not studying right now but will be studying full-time at uni in Feb, I’m not sure which option I’m supposed to pick.
