Dont really know what UAI score I want..but anything between 85-90ish and I will be pretty happy.

The worry is that one subject in particular is really lagging..Chemistry. Year 11... I was top 10 for the whole year, getting around 85. Since I have struggled pretty badly. My first assessment I got 9/10, which is good, but then got 55% in 1/2 yearlies and then recently 14/25 in an assessment.
I think it works out to roughly 65%

Thats horrible and will be scaled down bad..worried that might kill my UAI

My other subjects

Maths- 85%, should be able to get 90+
Maths Ext1- currently 30/50 and should get 35+
Economics- Currently 77%...85+ should be attainable
St. English- dont know exact mark, but about 12/55
SOR II- 80%

What would my UAI be if it was done on current marks,
and then if I get what I expect

My school is top 45 if that makes any difference

Thanks in advance

Everything will scale down bad if you do badly in them. Not even 4U Maths can help you if you get 40%.

I think you are heading towards low to mid 80s. 85-90 is still very much possible... work on you English and maths (rank?).

English was 3rd, but stuggled in my oral, which i cant do for squat. Just had an essay assessment which i ace normally, so should go back up.
My maths rank is about 20th

If your school is top 45, then put in abit more effort espeically in extension 1 math and chem (as you said) and you'll get yuor 90.

I've got alrightish marks for my Chem assessments, at least I think they are anyway.
92% in one, 75% in the other.

However exams... 24% for my Prelim and 28% for my Half Yearly.

I can't stand the subject.
