What were your marks for English and Extension English if you dont mind me asking?
I got 84 in English, 43/50 in Extension 1 English, and 43/50 in Extension 2 English, and I only got 76.35 for my UAI. Its not enough to get me into an of the courses Ive applied for Im really disappointed with it.

i got 37/50 for extension and 81 for advanced.

my "lower subjects" like gen maths, senior science, and pd/h/pe i got 93, 89, 88

so i think doing well in them helped my UAI alot

 

[Catastrophe]

i almost did.......if it wasn't for the crap marks my school gave me which was unfair><

2 Business Studies 86/100 83/100 85 5
2 English (Standard) 77/100 76/100 77 4
2 Information Processes and Technology 81/100 86/100 84 5
2 Mathematics 88/100 78/100 83 5
2 Japanese Beginners 94/100 89/100 92 6


a big 10 mark gap for maths.....and i slacked off abit for ipt lol

UAI: 84.50

 

[matt_f64]

i did

std eng 77
bus 89
gen maths 92
bio 86
legal 88
geo 81

UAI: 90.10

i didnt like the subjects i did but unfortunately at tafe we have not much to choose from and have to do yr 11 and 12 in the one year (or 3 terms!)

was this in 2004? or another year?

 

[matt_f64]

i think scaling is fucked and doesnt exist. this year i got:
2 u adv english = 78
physics = 85
economics = 86
2 u maths 89
earth/enviro = 89

i was expecting into the 90s as most of those subjects are scaled, but i ended up with...
UAI=88.35
so i missed my preferences... absolute bullshit.
and i know people who have similar marks to me but with worse subjects (business,pd,gen maths,stnd eng, legal etc) and they got well into the 90s.. i dont get it.

Scaled down --

Business - 83
English Adv. - 85 (yes this did scale down - I was surprised)
General Maths - 92

Scaled Up --

Ext. English 1 - 42
Legal - 80

UAI --

91.5

Study time --

Maybe five or six hours, all up? (and thats generous)

 

[lilems13]

I got a UAI of 96.80 with:

ancient history
legal studies
ad. english
business studies
pdhpe..

 

[Korn]

I got a UAI of 82.90 and did
Senior Science Band 6
Business Studies Band 5
Standard English Band 4
IPT Band 5
Studies of Religion I Band 4
Maths Band 4

 

[69^boi]

so scaling doesnt relly matter?

 

[iambored]

^ it depends what uai you want. if you want high 90s you'll need the scaling subjects

 

[Sarah168]

OR do very well on the poorer scaling subjects...

 

[69^boi]

what about a combination of both hard & easy subjects to get into 90s(90-100)

for example if u wanna get high 90s can you do good subjects like physics & 2U maths and the rest easy subjects?

 

[Skeeta]

its possible but you'd want to get band 6 in them

 

[grk_styl]

ive been told i did "easy subjects" and that shits me, coz none of them were easy. i had to work my arse off in them

i did gen maths, drama and ancient history which were considered easy subjects. I ended up getting 94 in gen maths, 86 in drama (disappointing) and 93 in ancient. and got a uai of 96.75

so u can get a good mark regardless of what subjects u do...u just gotta work hard

 

[Cab31]

^ it depends what uai you want. if you want high 90s you'll need the scaling subjects

i did general maths and pdhpe and no extension things or anything and i got 98.10
its better to get 95 in general maths than 90 in mathematics and its way harder to get 90 in mathemetics than 95 in general maths

but as you say. no subjects are 'easy', some are just more challenging than others. im sick of ppl saying pdhpe is easy. its sports science based, which is not easy - its challenging. as far as im concerned it should be considerred a science - they accept it at UWS as a science.

 

[Rowena]

English Advanced - 80, 7/20
General Maths - 93, 2/36
Business Studies - 91 1/18
Biology - 92 1/20
Legal Studies - 81, 2/15
UAI - 90.90
none of my subjects are particularly high scaling, bio only makes it to a positive and legal is all right, and i still got what i wanted. my uai was the 3rd highest at my school, and the person who came first did "easy" subjects aswell. shows that if u do well in ur subjects then u will get what u want.

 

[margaret_gn]

I did:

Standard English: 84
Econ: 86
Physics: 92
Chem: 91
Maths Ext.1: 98
Maths Ext.2: 95

UAI: 99.25

So my advice would be simply to do subjects you really enjoy and are willing to work hard at...I could've done advanced English and get in the 70s but I hate english and wouldn't work at it anyway so what's the point?
