I think you're missing what I'm really saying: the vast majority of students in NSW are absolute failures. If you aren't able to stomp them in the HSC (i.e. attain a UAI of 85+), in my eyes,there's something wrong with you.
For a Y11 student to be aiming for a UAI of 70-80 is pretty sad, because you're aiming to be slightly better than someone who spends their final year of school fucking around, who is quite happy to go out and get a regular job and live a regular life.
OP:
Regardless of what other people say, attaining a UAI of 95+ is not impossible just because you aren't a genius at a top 10 school. I personally know people who weren't child prodigies who were able to get upwards of 97 as well as people in y12 this year who are doing exceptionally well and aren't amazing.
If you really can't do well, despite your efforts (and I mean genuine effort), then that's just the way it is, but for the people who make excuses it's your life you're fucking up.
I that's for the best.Rhanoct said:Thanks, I don't need to post in this thread anymore.

In this case: I'm aiming for 100 and expecting 99.95! lolz. Joking.
My parents will kill me if I can't get 99+

then i realised hsc wasnt worth the pressure.Undermyskin said:Well, basically when you re-think about it, it's not THAT dire. I mean, when you are technically purposeless (like me right now), having someone to push you is rather necessary; because you know, if getting 99+ then I can choose whichever courses I wanna do later, right? (except for Med and Pharm of course) I'm used to that kind of 'pressure now, free later'. lolz.

The average UAI is 65ish, not 50.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:I know aye
You agree that if a student doesn't come top 15% of the state that there is something wrong with them?
85 UAI =/= being top 15%fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:Point being?
No, tommykins' is actually right. 85 UAI is not equal to top 15%. It is more like top 20%.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:YES. IT STILL IS. 85 = top 15%. The average does not change this fact.
That's basically what we have been talking about, isn't it? (i.e. 85 UAI =/= top 15% of the state).fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:No. If anything it will lower the top amount.
It would be more like 12.75% for a UAI of 85
Not true. It's based on a skewed bell curve distribution, not a linear distribution. As such, about 60 to 70 is the middle. 85 isn't the top 15%.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:YES. IT STILL IS. 85 = top 15%. The average does not change this fact.
It would be more like wrong. Ignoring year 10 cohort that dropped out, an 85+ is more like top 30% or 40% to yr 12 students.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:No. If anything it will lower the top amount.

Yeah it includes year 10 people who dropped out - we got a booklet about it and I was hell surprsied, makes the HSC seem easier (although i'd take a stab that dropouts = 1-2k MAX).Slidey said:Oh, and further, the UAI is based on the entire year 10 cohort, I believe, not the year 12 cohort. So it's really fairly true that 85+ isn't a hard UAI to achieve if you're trying.
Seriously most of the people on this forum are studying alot and are interested in getting into the big sydney unis which you need a high uai eg. law/medicine/commerce.louise08 said:thanks for the quick replies. I wasn't comparing myself to everyone.. i was just shocked I supposed by the amount of people aiming for 95+. When most exams I aim for 70%, but then again I know year 11 doesn't compare what so ever.
thanks x
it doesnt seem that hard when placed in this light.mark678 said:16.5% 90 UAI or higher
