and nastier marks for the rest of my subjects
But then i had an advantage that i had wend really well in the year 12 math comp (for anyone planning an infomatics degree) and my interviewer new that.

nice marks !!!chinesefireball said:
my marks were:
adv eng 63
adv maths 79
physics 82
and the rest of my subjects dont really apply for my uni course. i would prefer the uni to give specific conditions in the HSC eg '80 for adv maths' instead of just saying 'uai of 75'. im going for civil engineering ( i think i said that on the last page ) anyway, do you think ill have a chance of getting EE ?

Last year when I went for my interviews for BInfoTech and BIST they both went for about 20 minutes. I got guarenteed for both of them and I did standard english and general maths. Funny because BIST has extension 1 maths as a pre-requisite.

yeh man i reckon u got a nice chance definately conditional i say. just relax and enjoy the interview u shall do fine

phew... good... ill be cheering if they give me a guarented offer. Even if they give me conditions ( as long as its not a spefic UAI ) ... i think they'll give me conditions for eng. i dont think they will for physics, and they prob will for maths...
but by saying that i could be complety wrong, some of the people ive spoken to who got in through early entry, didnt have the greatest marks...

The only maths i've really done at uni so far is STAT131 Understanding Variation and Uncertainty, I didn't have that much trouble and ended up getting 73 (credit) almost a distinction, if you have to do subjects like MATH121 i've heard that 2U and extension maths helps. For my degree English is a pretty important subjects especially in subjects where you have to write lots of essays like CSCI102 (Systsems) and some of the IACT subjects.
My marks after the trials were:
English Standard 78/100 Rank 1/46
Maths General 79/100 Rank 11/51
Chemistry 79/100 Rank 3/12
Business Studies 84/100 Rank 2/16
Information Processes and Technology 91/100 Rank 1/17
Software Design and Development 89/100 Rank 2/7
When I did the interviews I had Peter Castle and Jo Abrantes for BInfoTech, can't remember who I had for BIST but both Peter and Jo teach programming subjects CSCI114 and CSCI124 they were both very impressed by my assignments and my ability to produce documentation so I think that was what helped me.

Not quite. Engineering degrees have an English requirement. You even have to write something that's not marked per se, so they can see how good your English is.StevChe said:
We need that in SITACS degrees, or an IACT subject with essays included as a core subject.

if they told you that you need 80 in maths and only told you that ,then yea i rekon if you get 80+ for maths, then the marks for the other subjects wont really matter. but if you turn up with 0% for a test, i dont think they will be too happy. Because they specifically told you 'we will let you in if you get 80 in maths' ( not in those words)StevChe said:
If i was you id just focus mainly on maths, and just study for the other subjects a day or two before.
