if you look at the following UAC document it states that:

"to achieve a middle UAI, in the 60s, students will need HSC
marks in the mid to high 70s"

although its not entirely accuracte since it changes from year to year that was the result of lasts year HSC yo give you an idea.

If you notice, its true that a few marks here and there can decide whether you get into the uni course you want.

e.g. someone who got 77 for all their subjects didn't receive a that great UAI

but 3 marks in each subject to make it 80 makes a considerable difference. It shows this in lazseeker as well

*cough* plagarism

with the amount you have to do in these english exam i doubt many would have actually make up an essay along the way.

method to do good in english is

steal essay --> edit essay --> memorise essay --> write essay --> band5/6 essay

 

[Newbie]

theres nothing wrong with that method

...other than the fact that the question turns out completely different and the guys who regurgitate their essays blow it...

That's so dishonorable ...

I wrote my OWN essay ... and memorise ... etc.

 

[Ragerunner]

i doubt many people would care as long as they can get the marks its good enough

Unfortunately true ... I was just expressin' my opinion ... I mean you're not goin' to be able to copy someone in the workplace ... So wouldn't it be a start to do somethings by themselves ...

 

[Newbie]

everyone's plagiarised once in a while

*pokes flying*

Only in exams ... (and not too often).

(Edit: And assignments (and not too often).)

True, you can always mend your ways ... later.

Doesn't work at tertiary level, no way!
My International Business tutor mentioned she failed a few people (ie gave them a mark of zero for a 20% essay cos they plagarised)

 

[Ragerunner]

i think he means to start learning 'not' to plagarise at Uni.

And i mean that most people plagarise in high school because simply every bit counts and you would do anything to get the marks to get into uni

Ah, that's nothing ... People got negative marks for plagarism in a Computing course (my one, actually).

 

[Minai]

hahaha
negative marks! inconcievable!

Well, they had Max = 6, and Min = -6 ... and I was like ... LOL!
