    "the naturally smart kids aren't usually the ones who do well in the HSC"

    I am completley aware of her subjects. Doing subjects like EX2, EX1, History Extension does NOT entitle someone a title of "naturally smart" people. On top of that, some of her subjects aren't that difficult anyway and to be ranked first in a school around 500s or 400s isn't that difficult...

    "the naturally smart kids aren't usually the ones who do well in the HSC"

    It would be highly ridiculous if I continued to argue with someone who clearly hasn't got an idea what the contradictory statement is. There is no need to defend yourself, you clearly have failed to do so. Your effort to raise your status and be accosted by others as "naturally smart sonya"...

    "the naturally smart kids aren't usually the ones who do well in the HSC"

    You were talking about understanding/grasping a concept, not writing an A band essay. Refer to your own post and post again. You never mentioned that writing an A band essay was one of the characteristics of "naturally smart" people. But you obviously are not then, are you?

    "the naturally smart kids aren't usually the ones who do well in the HSC"

    Now arrogance? There is a great co-relationship between the ability to memorise and the ability to understand. If you "understand" something, there is not much need to go into memorising the material. You obviously don't understand the materials to the full extent. And people of great...

    UAI estimate

    Lol, thanks. I don't think I will get 100 though. The nature of my subjects will further decrease the prospect of my chance of 100 UAI due to the subjectivity that comes into my subjects at the time of marking...

    Distinction Courses: Interest and discussion on the proposed cancellation of courses

    Re: Distinction Courses Yeah, some schools are just ignorant of that. I wouldn't have known about the course if my brother didn't do it. My school didn't mention a word about the distinction course.

    Give someone a call if you are lonely. Call "kids-help line". They are always there to help you overcome your desire to commit suicide.

    Standard English

    I am pretty sure. I haven't seen anyone getting 100 UAI with English (Standard) in the last 3 years.

    Standard English

    Yes. It is 100% possible. You can get 100 UAI with most of the subject combination. The top UAI for English (Standard) student was 99.8 last year but before that it has been 99.85, 99.90 and 99.95.

    "a higher uai suggests greater chance of succeeding at uni."

    People who have the tendency to burn out after a prolonged period of working, would have burnt out before they even did the HSC tasks. It's unlikely that people who haven't burnt out for a year will suddenly burn out after HSC.
