Uai!! (1 Viewer)

[Survivor39]

Hi, i REALLY wants to know what my UAI might be:

1/30 in Biology
1/17 in Society and Culture
1/45 in ESL English
1 or 2/7 in Engineering Studies
5/70 in Mathematics
8/36 in Chemistry

I don't do any extension courses
But instead, I am doing ESL English, doesn't that scale down badly??

Thanks!

according to people who have previously done the HSC...yes...but I don't think you should be too worried since you're coming 1st or 2nd in most of your subjects....

I predict that you'll get approx 95 in your uai

 

[routemarker]

thats a pretty good approximation. youre doiing fine!

 

[Survivor39]

Well thanks a lot....mmm.....95 pretty good, i can live with it.

How about this, i am attending in an average school.

(Damn ESL!!! But the dux of my school for the past 2 years have done ESL. (99.7 and 99.25) but i guess it helps when they both did Extension maths....)

 

[strawberry]

you got that right...4U maths is like the angel of hope....it guarantees success.

what skool do you go to anyway?

 

[Survivor39]

i go to Chester Hill High.

I don't really like those people that relies on Extension 2 courses...

If ur high ranks translate into band 6 results, then theres no reason why u shouldnt get a UAI of 99. I also recall ESL scaling better than English (Standard)

So what Exam marks am I looking at for all my subjects to get in the 99+?

If you did the HSC in 2002 ...
Biology (92+)
Society and Culture (94+)
ESL English (90+)
Engineering Studies (94+)
Mathematics (96+)
Chemistry (90+)

If you mean raw marks ... I couldn't say! The above are aligned HSC marks!

 

[timmii]

Aim for 93+ in 10 units or more if you want $2000 from the govt....

[getting 99+ isn't necessary if your course had a lower uai, but $2K is a nice incentive... ]

 

[MiuMiu]

Do you seriously get $2000 if you get over 93 in 10 units???

yep
Commonwealth Bank prize, there's a thread about it somewhere, quite a number of ppl here got it

 

[Survivor39]

hehehe, $2000 is excellent! But i'll be happy and overwhelm with a UAI of 99+

But now i don't think i can get it!!!

Any other combination of marks that can get me 99+ ??
From my Strongest to my Weakest subjects:
Biology - My strongest subject
Society and Culture
ESL
Mathematics
Engineering Studies
and Chemistry as my weakest subject

Thanks

There's no "set" range of marks to get, its basically a case of 'do the best you can'. I know how you feel, i spent the whole of last year trying to get some "certainty" as to what was to be expected and how i was going in relation to everyone else because there is so much that is unknown....but realistically no-one can tell you what you need to get, and no-one on this forum can do you the justice of being able to accurately assess what your marks are and what they will be... using the forum to get help with ur subjects etc is at least a step in the right direction...(and entering the non-school forum is probably about 10 steps back...)

timmii is right ...

So there really isn't a set combination ... and the Exam could favor you or disadvantage you ... So all you can do, it prepare ... and hope!
