if you've been at the top, you should be able to confidently do it again. But remember, stranger things have happened.Im a pretty reasonable student, but i never dreamed of duxing 3 subjects in year twelve- go for first place, analyse other peoples's performance and better that.

Does your school giving out DUX award based on per subject????? Well our school is tooo tight, they rank it based on overall performance, like who got the most dux for each subject gets the Dux, and the huge trophy can't be kept forever, it needs to be passed onto the next round of ppl >.<

your school must be rich!!!!! yeah DUX certainly sounds magic, especially if it is happening in a selective, but for some reason, i know heaps of people who dont know what it meant:confused:
and i heard that some school place the award based on who's the best "teacher's pet"....WT...????

Aiming for 90+, though there are a few things that make me doubt I will achieve this.

Is there hope for getting the UAI I want with me coming average in the class for most of my first round assessments? All are average xcept MathExt1 which I'm coming top.

I'm sure I can do much better, it's just that the prospects seem bleak. I do Stndrd Eng too.

Does anyone have an idea of my chances?
Would love to know, thanks.

there's a long way to go, most first round assessments are worth near to 10%.You still got 90% of assessments to go-if you do well in the big assessments and exams in the later months, your ranking will shoot up.Also, if you're average in a top school, you're still doing great compared to the rest of the state.The key to getting 90 is to do very well in standard english, as it scales badly and must be included in your uai- try your best, BOS ( and God) will do the rest.

Thanks dude. It really does wonders to hear that.

My half-yearlies are coming up the week after this week, and they are about 10 - 20% for each task, for each subject, so I'll report back what I did during that time after it's over. I would aim to get a higher position in my class - coz that would help with the UAI calulations and stuff.. my school isn't selective, but it did pretty good in last years results - about 20 people with UAIs over 90 I think - it's a relatively large school though.
