[sando]

may i ask what UAI you are aiming for ???

 

[shinji]

90+ ... i know. i gotta get better marks!

 

[passion89]

Well my results are:

English Adv - 100% (ranked 1st)
English Ext - 84% (ranked 1st)
Economics - 86% (ranked 1st)
Chemistry - 86% (ranked 1st)
Maths - 75% duno the ranking but hoping to improve it!!
Physics - 61% (extremely hard and test and overall ranked 3rd)
Music - 94% (Ranked 1st)



I'm definately hoping I improve Maths and physics...stupid hard tests

 

[sando]

Considering that i got between 50-60 % for maths, chemistry, p.e... and between 60-70% for english.... i should be more motivated.... but i'm not

Although those marks seem dreadful, i was above average for maths and chemistry, and in p.e. i am blitzing all the hand-ins ...
Really, english is the only subject i am performing really poorly in...

Business- i got 80%
SOR- 69/80

would still like to improve in every subject..

order of priority, would have to be:

1. Chemistry--- class is small and quite dumb lol... if i work i could finish top 6
2. Maths--- need to finish top 5... behind extension students
3. English--- would like to finish in the middle
4. P.E---- can easily achieve high band 5... just need to improve on tests
5. Business -- i would like to finish top 3 in this subject... so extra time on assignments
6. S.o.r--- can achieve band 6.... currently sitting on 90% after 3 assignments

 

[pLuvia]

Maths 2u: 97% 4th - doesn't count no need to worry
Maths 3u: 69% 6th - definately have to improve on this mark and rank
Maths 4u: 74% 3rd - same here
Jap Ext: 80% 2nd - missed out on 1st by 0.5 have to get 1st
Jap Cont: 73% 5th - definately have to improve here, in contrast to Jap Ext which is harder
English Adv: 80% 13th(?) - quite happy, have to improve on AoS section
Chemistry: 57% top 20(?) - not happy, have to improve quite a bit

 

[ari89]

I havent even done my half yearlys yet...they start next week

 

[luscious-llama]

I know where I went wrong.
That's all i need to really know
I'll be right I think
High 80s for me or 92 would be pretty.

 

[airie]

Well my results are:

English Adv - 100% (ranked 1st)
English Ext - 84% (ranked 1st)
Economics - 86% (ranked 1st)
Chemistry - 86% (ranked 1st)
Maths - 75% duno the ranking but hoping to improve it!!

Music - 94% (Ranked 1st)



I'm definately hoping I improve Maths and physics...stupid hard tests

Wow...I'm definitely coveting that Eng Adv mark of yours...@.@

 

[Monstar]

tell me is the ranking the most important thing?

 

[hopeles5ly]

tell me is the ranking the most important thing?

Yes, the marks from your assessments are just used to determine your rank. The external exam would then determine your assessment mark based on your rank.

 

[housemouse]

4unitmaths - 80% (2nd)
3 unit maths - 80% (6th)
2 unit - 93% (?)
CHEM - 62% (?)
Bio - 80% (5th)
PHY - 75% (?)

My chemistry stinks and need to pick up on my maths.

 

[olivehehe]

Well I'm aiming for a UAI of 77.00 and so far it's not looking good...

Maths (2U) - 83% - happy with that mark, but could do a bit better
English (Advanced) - 48% - need to do alot better, but I'm just not capable of a better mark... (PS - English suxxorz!!!...lol)
Ancient History - 57% - better than previous results, but still needs to be better
Senior Science - 74% - not bad, again can do better
Music 1 - DIdn't have a half-yearly, but I think I'm about 70% or better
SDD - Haven't got results back yet (doing it through Karabar distance ed.), hoping for bout 75%

 

[allysheila]

hey everyone, i see u all have put a lot of effort in ur studies and are being rewarded which is good. anyways, i'm from the country and our marks are far lower than city dwellers' results. for example in Adv English, the highest result in our year was 70% (i came 2nd with 67%), which is crappy compared with marks like 100%. I don't know whats wrong with our school - we never seem to get in the band 6 range easily (unless we study 10 hours a day , excluding homework and other things.)

anyway, here are my half yrly results:

Adv English 67% - 2nd (1st was 70%)
2u Math 89% - 1st
3u Math 68% - 1st
Physics 77% - 2nd (1st was 79%) ( i was first before the exam with 93%, but my exam result (57%) screwed me up)
Chemistry 90% - 1st
Business Studies 88% - 1st

so u can see - i only got one band 6 and missed out on two other subjects by one ore two percent. what advice can anyone give that will help me reach the band six aggeregate and distance myself from people who are behind me in rank. And anyone who does 3u Math - what do I DO???? - i have no idea how to study for that subject - same as physics - i am drowning here.

By the way , how important is rank, even if there are only 3 - 6 people in each of your classes?
And can someone calculate my UAI - or at least give me a link to do so

What are you going to do? Do they provide an incentive for you to work more? Or just bludge around.

Overall, I could have done better in most of my subjects. It has given me an incentive to work much harder this term, which leads up to the trials next term, and finally the HSC in October. These first two weeks have just been hard... trying to get as motivated as I can, been revising on what I've done.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

Overall I'm happy with my results, especially English this time around, but there are some things I really need to improve on. My ranks are all fine except for maths which is probably not that great (I didn't want to know), but all the others I came top 5, so .... all the same I know I can improve.

 

[nahian]

Shinji,
I think 2 essays per week is a bit excessive and unrealistic
considering you have other subjects that are of high demand aswell

 

[Bookie]

Some of us just finished our half yearlies

Anyway, WHY OH FUCKING WHY are you people associating your current marks with UAI? Bloody hell, even your ranking couldnt tell you that well right now, unless you have a very good idea of how your school normally fares and how your cohort is compared to the state.

I got 66% in my corresponding 2u maths test last year. Internally, I finished up with 75% and a ranking of 35th / 210 (Also, people, when naming your ranks, unless 1st, please tell us out of how many. I'm certainly not impressed by 3rd out of 4) Anyway, so I got 66% in my half yearly, and got 75% internally, but putting 75% in SAM would be unrealistic and shit.

The internal assessment came out 95/100.

Must be the goodness of my school, but nonetheless, stop linking these marks to your UAI. Leave that until late December until you know how you fared against the state.

 

[sando]

bookie, wats ur school ranked ???

 

[Bookie]
