hey ppl i went really bad in my english CSSA trials for advanced english ... i mean i failed!! if i want to get in the 90s for my UAI, what should i be aiming for in my HSC exam if ive been getting in band 5s for my other subjects?

Doing well in English advance is important. In 2002 50% of the canditure that did it got a band 5.

If you improve on it, it will help you UAI greatly.

Does standard english impact on your UAI much?

Someone told me that there mark of 55% and ranking of 25/30 was better than my 79% and 1/58. Is that true?

Sounds bout right...

I knew of a guy who failed his assesments for Eng Adv and ranked 100/105... ended up getting 80... beat his friend who was coming first in standard who got 78

But you must not forget the whole concept of scaled marks... obviously u have to look at the percentages and stats to see which one got a better "scaled" mark

Hey beaky do u mean that 80 UAI or 80 in the actual HSC exam?

woops.. nah i get ya, 80 in the exam.. well i really hope i get that mark.... ive started doing past papers and extended responses so that i can improve on my writing and my time management which was one of my problems in my trial exam...

You see i got 43% for my English adv. trials. Is it possible for me to get 80 if i really study hard in the lead up to the HSC exams?

Of course it is The HSC exam will either make or break you.
