Anyone get a premier's award? (1 Viewer)

[monique66]

Just interested, anyone get one? If so what subjects did you do and how many hours did u study? Okay i know the actual chances are very low of getting a reply to this but still...

does 6 units and 2 89s count?

 

[acmilan]

I got one for maths, maths ext 1, physics, biology, studies of religion, software design and development = 10 units in total. Studywise, probably about 2 hours/day consistently in the months leading up to the HSC and about 5 hours/day in the last 2-3 weeks

 

[monique66]

thats really good. well done, i'm sure you were happy with your results, i just want a general outlook to see how difficult it will be for me to achieve. That's my goal for this year....(yeah, i like to aim high)

 

[Eagles]

hmm.. my biggest problem WAS english (ended up owning it).

but then I spent too much time on it and left phys and chem high and dry

 

[gordo]

just do agriculture, horticulture, food tech, eng standard and plastic studies

 

[Eagles]

HAHAHAHA, AGriculture.

Who are James Ruse to compete with rural schools. Thats just unethical and newb bashing!!!

Aim higher, third doesnt have a nice ring to it

I didnt do food tech for the HSC but i know for a fact that it isnt an easy subject like you have made out. For all the people who think that its just cooking, maybe you should do your homework before posting.

 

[monique66]

well i already have my subjects:
Eng Adv
Eng Ext
Eng Ext2
2U Maths
Legal
Eco

and i just dropped bio because i wasn't happy with my results, so i'm hoping that by doing less subjects i have more time for each and hopefully i'll go well

Was there anyone with a UAI of 100.00, who actually didn't become an all-rounder or scored band 6 in at least 10 units?

I dont think that is possible

Try the Student Assessment Modeller (SAM) and it's possible if it's accurate enough. Try put 100 or 99 for 8 units of courses and 89 for 2 unit English in SAM for 2003. You should get 100.00.

I tried this example for 2003 in SAM:
English (Standard): 87
Mathematics Extension 1: 99
Mathematics Extension 2: 99
Chemistry: 99
Physics: 99

However, I doubt that anyone has ever acheived something like that. If this ever happens it would be really interesting in what subject choices he or she undertook and what marks he or she got.

 

[monique66]

what kind of marks do you need for a premiers award? How did you guys go in class assessments and stuff?

 

[Eagles]

Its just band 6 in 10 units in the actual HSC exam..

I don't think your school marks are counted.

how come your school marks aren't counted? Aren't they like 50% of your HSC

i received the premier's award last year, and i did english (adv), physics, biology and 4u maths. did philosophy on top of that, but that isnt counted in the premier's award (goes by uni grades - hd, d, c, etc). hardest subject was 4u maths for me, since i did shizzat all, but i managed to scrape through with a 90 in the end. how did i go in assessments you ask?

ranks
eng: 3/70ish
4u: 4/7
3u: 4/20ish
bio: 1/50ish
phy: 2/50ish

don't be fooled by the ranks. top mark in my grade was 99.65 i think.

your hsc mark takes into account the actual hsc exam and your school assessment marks.

that's really good. Do you mind me asking what school you went to? Does it matter if i go to an average school, like will that affect my chances of being able to get one? (i think the dux last yr got 99.95 but she didn't do anything that i do)

Oh, and how good did it feel to get that award? i'd be so proud of myself if i got one
