my UAI estimate?
I already said earlier I thought. I guess it would be in the 80-90 UAI range at this stage. However, you will see tremendous changes in your marks and ranks once you get into the HSC year. (or during your Preliminary year).

Good luck.

ps: you should try xfer to a t100 school if you can
Is transfering in year 11/12 recommended? I always thought it was a good idea to stay fairly stable during these final 2 years.

btw i think you'll get in the mid 80's - might even break the 90 mark.

is it true that you have to be topping all your subjects to get over 99.5 what if your school does generally quite well?

Not necessarily. In James Ruse, you just need to be top 30% to get 99.5 UAI. On the other hand, you need to be the Dux in one school to get 99.5 UAI. It really depends on school.

shaon0, with enough effort, I'm sure you can get 98+. What uni are you trying to get into, with Eng/Law?
The additional effort should improve your English and your MX1 ranks.

I am looking to get into Usyd but i probably won't get 99.55 or 98.8.
For english i was coming 4/66 in the grade, then i stuffed up one essay where i came in the bottom 25% in the grade which stuffed up my rank.
And for MX1 i really did bad in my first test of the year where i came last 35% but i ended up doing a little better (7/28) in the next test due to a fluke where i didn't even study.

Ah. Just make sure you don't do that next year, and you're pretty much set for high 98 to mid 99.

Agree with everything Aerath mentioned. Doing maths everyday is also a good idea too (especially when you start studying because it triggers your brain).

Constantly keep your notes up to date and read them everyday. Give yourself about 10-20 minutes a day. Then you come to exam period, it will be so much easier to remember!!! Oh, don't forget: do every past paper you can get your hands on. (or practice questions)

The reason I bought many textbooks is partially for that - to do many practice questions.

For English, read, read and read!!! Memorise techniques and broaden you vocabulary. For example, I learnt words such "dimunitive" (meaning small) and "abase" (meaning humiliate) just from reading SMH.
