Given up hope of 90 UAI, anyone? (4 Viewers)

[melanieeeee.]

it's not always about ur UAI, i know how people always say u get more options if u get higher. but when u actually come down to it at the end of the day, all u really care about is if u get into the course u want at uni. aim for the course requirements, not 100 uai

qft nobody gives a fuck what uai you get once you are at uni

 

[aussiechick007]

^^ ah yes, but you have to get there first!

 

[carrots please!]

buahaha

more like too scared to publicly proclaim i want 90

you'll be fine...like everyone has said, there's still so much assessment left.

and ages til externals...6 months today, to be exact.

 

[aussiechick007]

6 months? woah thats scary, lol...

 

[.deimonic]

I kind of feel the same at the moment but I think it's better to aim high because you'll work harder and get better marks (even if it is disappointing if you don't always achieve what you want).

 

[justmeme]

if i am for a uai of 90 now, i can change it later in the year when i can see how my marks are going...

no point giving up

 

[foram]

Don't worry, engineering is UAI<90.

 

[ahen]

gosh people don't worry so much
you still have aaaaaages away till you finish and your HSC exams in themselves are worth 50%, so really you've done nothing so far
kind of annoying that little fact actually, well i found it annoying at this point last year
i got over 90, and that's even after burning out post trials and never ever wanting to study again, it's possible =D

people are expecting me to get 95+ but i really dont see myself getting near that. i know i could do well if i put the effort in but i really lack motivation.. at this rate ill be lucky to get in the 90's though i know ill be disappointed if i dont.

sounds like you're in the same situation as me...

90 is like not that hard to get its jst the high 90s thats hard jst try your hardest!!! and u wont regret a thing if u slack of for one moment then ure gone and ull regret it after hsc

 

[risole91]

90 is like not that hard to get

I disagree.

 

[tommykins]

I disagree.

Sorry mate but I agree with her.

Solid study will get you a 90+, mastering your content will lead to 95+. Getting to the 98+ requires some form of natural intelligence.

Solid study is hard, i dont believe 90 is easy.

Im sorry, but theres factors, like our schools ect.

At my school above 90 is considered amazing.

2007 dux 80.05

 

[Ms. BRIGHTSIDE]

I disagree.

Same.
Of course if you study hard and don't slack off it would make it easier to achieve 90+, but actually making sure you do this is difficult for most people, so wouldn't that make achieving 90+ hard ?

 

[charlieka]

I figured this was my last year so i saz to myself work hard and hav fun

whatever the result is ive given it my best shot i need over 90 to do what i want though if all fails there are other ways to do things

More along the lines of tommykins, he's quite spot on.

I still disagree, I think with good study habits and the right motivation 90 would be easy.

But achieving good study habits and motivation are hard.

When you compete tooth-to-nail with the top guy/girl in class and you beat him/her when it's supposed to be the other way around it's quite entertaining.
