Anbody got UAI of 90+ with low scaled subjects?e.g gen maths (3 Viewers)

[*rinney*]

all my subjects were scaled down except the extension subjects i did, so i cannot understand how i got a UAI of 95.2?! the extension subjects, which i did alright in, probably pulled me up. maybe my ranking played a part in it too, cuzi got in the top five for all my subjects.

these were my results:
ancient history - 91%
community and family studies - 92%
adv english - 86%
ext 1 eng - 40/50
ext 2 eng - 44/50
history ext - 45/50
society and culture - 94%

Dude, you got above 90 in three of your non-extension subjects, scaling doesn't hurt you at all when you get band 6s.

Congrats to you people, I'm doing similiar "easy" subjects. I just hope to god I do good next year to get above 90.

hey dazzi do u have to do assesment n test for prelim too? or just quick skim through it.

there are a couple of basic assessments but you dont have to pass or do assaignments or anything and if you've already done the prelim for that subject i dont think u have to redo it. at tafe prelim basically takes 6 weeks, it took till june for bio which was awful as there was not much time for the hsc course!

fuck how you cram all prelim work in such a short time

[goan_crazy]

im doing 2 unit maths, adv eng, IPT, business, legal & studies of religion 1
thats 11 units
my worst subject is maths-i got 48% in that for my 1st assesment
im ok in subjects like legal & business
but i do adv english which i find hard...
and ipt scales down app...
so am i screwed for my UAI?

i did pdhpe- 86 and hospitality- 86 and business studies-90
( as well as music20-93, maths adv 82 and eng adv 95 )

and got 95.4 so yes it is possible to get a high uai with low scaled subjects, because as long as you do relatively well in them, they wont scale you down

i.e. only .27% got band 6 hospitality and like 8% or something in band 5 therefore 86 wasnt bad and scaled me up ..

i checked and got better uai with hospitality than i would have getting 75 in 3u maths as it was relatively better than others.

 

[69^boi]

have you considered to general maths?

when you did your hsc at tafe this year was it very stressful and miserable since you have to cram 2 years of work into one year (or 3 terms!! as you mentioned).
care to elaborate (explain).

HSC Marks:
Stand eng 81 band 5

Do What You Like (and are good at)

When other kids did maths and science I had society and culture and drama.
I ended up with 99.60! It was great. Do what you like, but don't forget you have to work at it (well except in S&C, it's the biggest piece of nothing). Goodluck!
