Considering my rather average ranks, is it still possible to obtain a high uai relying on my performance in the hsc exam?

Depends on the rest of the people.

If you are averagely ranked in a good school then it shouldn't be hard getting a high uai.

On the other hand, if you ranked average on a pathetic school, its harder to redeem yourself with those poor marks.

Thats what i find being the only reason how a school affects you.

Hmmm, ive ranking in the middle or a decent 3u class, and last in a 4u class (maths) its a good->very good class, second an ok sdd class, middle of decent chem class and middle of a good adv eng class, not very accurate hehe.

[ good > decent > ok ]

Hey if what does a UAI look like 4 these results in the HSC:
Phys:65
Chem:65
IPT:90
English Adv:90
Maths 2u: 65

I shoved that into my UAISeeker. The only difference your subjects to mine is i do SDD instead of IPT.

The result is a 83.50

I suggest you purcahse the UAISeeker so you can play around with marks/percentiles to get a better estimate.

In general, yes. I was ranked averagely in an average selective high school, and managed to beat people ranked higher than me in most of my subjects. If everyone does well (specifically those ranked higher than u) in the exam - but u do better, you'll do very well.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear :), btw, is there anyway to study for english other than writing lots of essays after you have learned the content?

yeah teacher was generous so i have no idea what ill get. i could probably get around 85-90 if i studied really hard...

does the rank matter much at all to the UAI? i don think it does does it?
