joke response:

UAI that is personified to show anger, and thus is "mad"

=P

real respone:

i dunno what she means either. i'm with you in that "shit" is vague and so is "mad UAI". Different people have different expectations OP!

i think an adequate response to OP's question would involve something along the lines of "less thinking, more studying"

my bad. i'm tired, im all set for a night of tv (Supernatural is on at 9:30 :D)

um well i did really bad, i could never get a uai of over 90 now based on choice of subjects (ie. predicted scaling) and bad assessment marks.

so yeah i'm relying on the exams.

i'm sure there are people out there, who do badly in assessments but rock it out on the HSC exam floor.

Its about your rank.

But generally if your aim is around 80 or so, its definitely possible by doing well in externals.

Didn't do so crash hot in MX1, Chem, Phys and English - about average ranks for all of em. I was going for a 99+, but with those kind of internals the really optimistic uai I'm looking at is a 97, more realistic a 95.6 (hopefully)

sorry if I offend by saying that my realistic is still over 95, but yeah I was seriously looking at a 99+ at the end of year 11 (aced physics, software, top 10 chem, did good in 3u maths). meh. this year I've been bludging/procrastinating ><"

so yes, I'm looking to rescue my internals with my externals :p

Hmmm, well my average for English Advanced is below 60%, same with Studies of Religion. All the rest are around the low 70% range, with IPT being in the 80's.

Not too confident for my UAI :p
