    Too much time and effort to prepare for naxx, but the tier 3 items looks crazy!

    World of Warcraft

    Mages are better, but they still suck. Shamans are still overpowered :( Earthshock and frostshock needs to be nerfed! Not that I'm really complaining since I'm horde and don't have to worry about PvPing Shamans :D

    Scaling FAQ

    That is correct. The raw marks are used by the UAC and scaled. So, technically, the marks you see when the results come out aren't used in the calculation of the UAI. But that doesn't mean they are meaningless to estimating what UAI you might get.

    SAM for UNI

    The UAI for uni students is typically a hidden process. As such no data is available to us to create a UAI estimator based on uni marks. And normally, other factors are taken into consideration besides uni marks, such as the year 12 UAI. Also, a NRSL (non-recent school leavers) cut-off is used...

    A HSC Ranking Question~

    Exactly what Raginsheep said. You still retain your own HSC exam mark. So there is absolutely no reason to just fail your externals if you are ranked first. When you are ranked first, only your assessment mark will be moderated to the highest HSC exam mark, whether or not that is your own mark...

    How has your life changed...?

    Think of it this way, the moment you put your pens down for your last and final HSC exam, the relief and joy that comes with it is absolutely awesome. No more study for a long time, and your 12 years of schooling has come to an end. And the HSC tends to go really fast, which is good and bad...

    assessment task rules - help needed

    I'm not sure if I fully understand your situation. So student 1 has already made the assignment using the newer version. But student 1 was not told that the school will get the newer version so that the assignment can be marked. So student 1 re-develops the entire program as a web based...

    Sam

    If the correct marks are entered into SAM, it is usually around +/- 2 UAI points in terms of accuracy. So it is quite good. But knowing what marks to input isn't easy until they are released on December. Inputing half yearly marks or total progress marks is not what you are meant to input into SAM.

    How does this look?

    How does this look?

    English affects your UAI the same as any other course, it will always contribute to your UAI. SAM isn't meant to accept marks based on the marks you have received so far. It accepts HSC marks. That's why it gave you a rather different UAI that you initially expect. So naturally, those marks you...

    How does this look?

    Hard to really say since you haven't completed your trials yet, but if you were to maintain those marks and rankings, you are defintely looking somewhere in the vicinity of 96+ You are do doing really well!

    HSC external exams

    You might want to have a read of this thread. It should answer the majority of your questions. But in simple terms, how well you do in the HSC exam and how well ranked you are makes the most difference. A high HSC exam mark, combined with a poor HSC assessment mark will be averaged to give a...

    not sure where to put this but i really need help...

    If you feel what you are going to do is for the best and you still want to attend university at a later age, it will depend on other factors. As quoted by the UAC website: Being 'mature age' is itself not enough to qualify for entry to tertiary studies. Your application may depend on your work...

    the uai counts the best 10 units... but...

    It's very simple. If your 1u of extension maths count, they will only take half of another 2u subject that you didn't do too well. So, basically, they cut that 2u mark in half so it's kind of like a 1u subject.

    Is there much of a difference between ranks?

    That will depend on your performance in the HSC exams. If you are ranked first you are immune to all forms of moderation. Meaning you will pretty much receive a HSC mark equivalent to your HSC exam mark. (Assuming you remain ranked first throughout the year and you also attain the highest exam...

    A quick question..

    Assuming 90 is the highest mark in your class, yes he will receive 90. But thats for his moderated school assessment mark. He still retains his own HSC exam mark which is averaged with his moderated school assessment mark to obtain his HSC mark. You will also retain your HSC exam mark of 90...
