standard english
general maths

hospitality (VET course [also found out this scaled uai down ALOT] but i like it)

To be honest, you're still in Year 11 DON'T STRESS, its only a trial year where you get to see what Year 12 is like. Bare in mind nothing is being counted. Unless your accelerating but thats a different story.
Goodluck though!

You can get UAI 99+ with those subjects. Say coming first in the state in all those subs will surely land you a high 99 is not 100.

So its not about the subs, its about how good you are at it. However of course if you are equally good at 2 subjects and like them just the same, pick the one with better scaling.

But the effect that this subject selection he made last year is ever-lasting. No matter what he does now, he cannot change the subjects unless school allows it (I highly doubt this at this stage).

To OP: Well, I guess you should try your best in each subject. As you are already aware, the scaling of most of your subjects are quite abysmal. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will get bad UAI either. It is just that you need to perform quite well in all your subjects. I suggest you spend your time wisely. Spend more time with your English (Standard) which WILL COUNT towards your UAI.

I wish you luck.
