another 'can I achieve 80' thread (1 Viewer)

[Weinerdogg]

Ok so per the title, I'm looking at a course that requires 80, science double degreee program this one or pg 246 of the '09 VTAC guide. Also, the school I am at (AHS) qualifies for two SEAS categories at Latrobe: under-represented schools and the rural/isolated one despite being ranked 136 which is decent I guess?

So it's after trials, and my ranks are pretty poor. I didn't really make as much effort as I should have, but it's done now. My question is, what sort of marks will I need in my HSC to make 80, and how much will SEAS help (if at all, since the course says it 'requires 80')?

2U Maths: ~15/60 (don't know this one exactly, but my best subject. Could even be top 10)
English Adv. 43/60
Biology: Haven't got ranks yet, but poor. probably bottom 20 of about 50 or so
Modern History: 27/45
Software: top 5/12, haven't got trials back for this.

I'll be getting the rest of my ranks and stuff by tuesday at the latest, so I can update if you need a more exact picture. Huge thanks

anyone?

Hmm, since no marks are posted, I can't really say too much, since I don't know how bad is bad. (eg @ James Ruse coming 100/150 means you probably scored 90% in maths)

You might get an 80. It's not impossible. But I'd say from ranking alone & school, I'd say you'd get probably 75.

hey bro im in a similar boat, some of my ranks are killa and some arent so good, but if you kill the final exams, 80 no problem.

Usually, everyone on this site underestimates your UAI, however...

Likely, 70-77 max? Maybe 80s if your externals were truly something, but not high 80s. Perhaps your school may pull it to around 80 / 81.

If only English and Biology were better, your chance would be much greater, good luck.

I see that Spark Notes has failed you too...
