For the UAI, they scale your final HSC mark (the one thats both exam + assessment) for each subject, and then they pick your best 2 units of english and the best 8 units that are left over. Then, every student has an aggregate mark out of 500. Once this is done, UAC rank every student in the...

Haha, I miss these competitions. The marks in these competitions are pretty freaking low, so it's not too hard to get Credit or higher. I got 63/120 in the Year 12 one, and got top 5% in NSW.

It's not necessary, but it will help you. Just two things about practice essays: 1) Don't blankly memorise any practice essays you write, and then copy them down in the exam. You have to link everything you do to the question, so make sure anything that you take from a practice essay (such as...

Yeah, you can get above 92. Your economics and physics ranks are VERY nice, and your other ranks are sweet as well. Generally, if you're topping 3unit, 4unit, Economics and Physics at a school in the top 200, you're going pretty damn well.

UAI is based on both, just that your school assessment marks are moderated, and the mark used in UAI calculations is different to the raw mark that you get on your actual internal assessment. http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=6642 for an explanation on moderating.

Yeah, our school was like 175th in my year, and we still had about 20 people getting over 90 UAI, and about 6 on 89 UAI.

Sorry to hear about the 63, but 37% of people failed to get the Credit in my year so it's nothing to be ashamed of :D. The EFS department are very harsh, they won't give you a waiver unless you have a VERY legitimate reason. Being close to a cutoff that is a prerequisite isn't a good enough...

That's the 27th percentile, and last year, the 25th percentile (across the state) was 74. Judging by your school position, something like 77, 78 seems like a decent estimate.

Yes. Nobody is going to marry you coz you did Standard English and you'll be forced to masquerade as a teacher and scab food from school canteens in order to eat for cheap. On a serious note, it's possible to get an exceptional UAI no matter what subjects you do and put you on the path for a...

Yeah, that's why nothing beats a Psychologist IQ Test. I picked that test though, because it IGNORES things such as Maths and English which some people might not be smarter at, but rather be more knowledgable on the topics. The tickle test, from memory, had questions such as "True knowledge...

112 cuts off about 79% of the population, so no, it's certainly not low.

They seemed to give 59 to a fair few people as well :( everybody I know who got a P (besides avatar_karma who I don't really know) got 59 or less. :bomb:

The guy who said online IQ tests are bullshit is right, with the exception of a few of them. Most of them are more like a collection of random riddles, rather than actually having varying difficulties and testing your brainpower. http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf is an example of a pretty good...

Hey, that's not too bad dude. 300 wasn't exemption, was it?

Re: Marks Are Out Probably. :p That's what I'll likely do anyways, assuming I get a P instead of an F.

Re: Marks Are Out 59, but after what I went through during/after the exam period, I didn't expect to go well lol. I might just do the stat exam externally. I got a Credit and a HD as well, and still waiting on acst200. Kinda disappointed since I was doing well throughout the semester :(...

Re: Marks Are Out Nice (besides 200), what was the D in? Lots of people screwed 200, don't worry too much.

Got STAT272 back just then, and got a P. Kind of figured I will, since I pretty much didn't study for it after I found out I didn't get the ACCG253 supplementary exam and was angry + busy chasing that up. Meh, at least I can continue doing next semester units.

That's probably the best option. I remember reading that CPA Australia has set limits regarding PC's. It was a max of 2 in a degree I think, and it's probably not allowed at all for core units. Really sorry to hear about what happened with the scaling for accg101, coz I remember before your...

Don't worry dude! You went well in ACST200 and that was a problem unit for MANY people. You did great!
