I wanna do commerece/law at syd uni. Thing is i need 99.4 to get in. How tough is it to get that with my subjects, as in how much effort will i need? also would it be easier with extension subkects such as ext2 english.

 

[underthesun]

4unit maths + 4unit english + something high + big effort - games - internet - go out - tv = 99.9

[tactic]

i know ppl who did no maths at all and did drama and stuff like that and got 98-99

These are results from 2001... I'm not sure how much they'll help. But high UAIs are usually easier with extension courses, yes. Providing you do well (of course).

yeah...me too!!! ;-(

 

[funkydish]

how about getting around ~85 (or 80-88)

btw i do: business studies, ipt, english standard, mathematics and physics.

 

[herbsby]

hey, yeh 85 would be nice to know....
like do most of them get in 80's for all marks - some 90's....
and how much does Dance (drama, art) get scaled down?

ok - here r my subjects:
Adv English
General Maths
Legal Studies
Ancient History
Modern History (wont be counted - not doing any work!)
Dance
(all 2U)

and if ive got mid 80's for all of them (assessments) and mid 90's for dance - and im in the top few in all my classes, but i dont think i will go as well for HSC since im not putting in any work....hm.... do you think i could still get 80's....yeh - i dunno
i guess maybe this answer will motivate me hey
anyways............... maybe ill do wat i did for trials and just work nite before, seems to not be too bad.....hm...
gotta love denial!!! haha
anyways
thanks

haha i know what i said was impossible, so

just asking again, how many marks to get to E4 in extension 2 maths?

and extension 1 too

(i mean raw marks)

me gets my past papers ready to test on

herbsby, i dont know if any subjects can get scaled down

 

[Simmo]

im doing

3u maths
economics
std english
modern history
IPT

when i tried lazseeker, i entered in scores of about 90 for each subject, which is what i've been getting all year. but it scaled up std english, down 3u maths, but i still got a UAI of 98.15. doesnt seem right

 

[herbsby]

be careful with those! one predicted my sister 88 last year, and she got 71 - bit of a difference! just dont think it complete!

Those were actual marks obtained by real students.

I don't want to mess around figuring out what marks you guys need to get certain UAIs - that's why I wrote the program, so you can do it.

It's not valid to simply input your assessment or trial marks, as they are not aligned HSC marks. You need to estimate what your marks will be according to the performance bands (the standards package might help there, or your teachers).
