18th December (1 Viewer)

[sugaryblue]

Hi all 2003 HSCers (or other who just share the interest of knowing the technicality of HSC and stuff)

As far as it may seem, the HSC is approaching the end (the least to say, has already passed half way!)

The worst (or the best?) is yet to come...

What would you be doing on 18th December?
How early would you get up? (As it all starts from 6am...)
What methods are you gonna use- SMS, internet...?
Or simply wait for the snail mail to come?
Lastly, will you go back to school on that day?

Post post post

Good luck and best of luck for everything

i hope i will be veeerrrryyy controlled...have brekky...stroll leisurely to the computer....nah, i'll probably freak out and be online at six....what if heaps of people go on? will the site crash?
im not going to check until the uais are out...i don't want to see my hsc marks first because scaling will make my uai lower i think

Yes although the HSC exams are nearly over, the HSC ain't technically over. In many ways it's as nerve-racking doing the exams as it is getting your results back...
I think it'll be a long sleepness night on the 18th in expectation of your HSC results

What worry me is the unexpected, unpredictable nature of HSC results. this scares me first, UAI comes next!

Last year, my teacher said a lot of people were really disappointed when they got the UAI coz they got into band 6 for their exam marks (with not so good scaling subjects)

well im gona do what i do everday, sleep in

Yeah I think it'll be unwise for ppl to pre-judge their UAI with just their HSC results. Cause the scaling for each course changes each year. My sister was pretty disappointed with her UAI last year, even though she didn't do that badly for her HSC...

 

[sugaryblue]

If your sis doesn't mind telling us, what subjects did she do last year?

 

[scut]

Well I'm sure she won't mind if I list em out..... (She comes home later and reads the forum and smacks me across the head)

I dun know her marks, but she did:
3u Maths
Adv English
Economics
Physics
Soft Design

Whoa those are pretty good scaling subjects! apart from Software Design which I think was the one that let her down.

If she got a decent mark for each of those. and got a not so decent UAI. we should start worrying.

i'll b up early around 5am-coz i heard board of studies actually put it up earlier than the official time.

hopefully i won't b panicking coz u can't do anything to ya marks to change it at that stage anyway.

yeah, i don't think i'll b using the sms- coz i can get my results earlier.

 

[scut]

well dun worry too much, she was aiming for mid 90's, but didn't quite get it...

 

[sugaryblue]

was SMS an option last year? or it's new this year?

[freaking_out]

yeah, and all my friends will prolly b on msn...it'll be a tense time.

 

[LaZy_KoReAn]

I'm just gonna wait for the snail mail, when does that arrive? 18th December i have no clue...

I'm gonna sleep in, do whatever so i don't feel disappointed

 

[truly-in-bliss]

Hmm, I don't think i quite understand

So the HSC results we recieve on the 18th or whatever havn't undergone the good/bad scaling that that subject gets applied to it? But the results used to determine the UAI HAVE undergone this scaling?
Then how is the scaling determined for the HSC results we get on the 18th, if the scaling your mark undergoes by the particular subject only happens for the UAI?
aaaaahhhhhh????!
