If so, I interpretted it wrong.Poad said:
She tried to refute the "somethings wrong with you" claim by saying that some schools - people are only able to get 70-80, thus the ranking of the school matters, which is false if you're coming first internally for your subjects (by assuming you try etc.)
Wasn't going to reply again, but
fOR3V3RPINKKKK etc., I'm sorry for being vague like that, I just assumed people would use their brains. You should be able to do QUITE WELL in the HSC because it is NOT DIFFICULT to do so i.e. score in the high 80s and 90s after scaling and the rest of it. Obviously if you're disabled or something of the sort it's difficult, but I posted in response to the OP who struck me as a normal student with no such difficulties.
I also agree 100% with tommy, 95+ is not as difficult to attain as it's made out to be- you just need to know what the fuck you're doing.

Rhanoct, it sounded to me like you were talking about 85-90 in assessments, which is kinda something you can't say cause school mark differently, ect as people have pointed out.
If you were talking about the actual HSC exam, that's a bit different. And none of us can really comment, because we haven't done it yet.
So I guess it was just a miscommunication =)
And tommykins, I have no idea what you're talking about, I wasn't talking about school ranks at all.
When I said the rank is more important, I meant individual student ranks based on internal assessments.
Hopefully now we're all talking about the same thing?
Hehh.

You have to keep in mind that the uai is a rank, no a mark.
so 85-90 means you're ranked a lot higher than most people.
So a lot of people wouldn't find it easy to get a UAI 85+.

...way to go for stating the obviousBackCountrySnow said:
I've experienced enough of the HSC to know what I'm talking about. The original focus of this thread was how achievable a UAI of 95+ is. For an intelligent and hardworking student it is VERY achievable- I've seen it in the past, I'm seeing it now. If you don't want to accept that you're incredibly naive.
But you're right Without Wings, if people want to aim to be the average NSW shitter then so be it- for them, it probably is "too hard", like life.

what 'm trying to say is that I won't be much happier getting 99.xx than 94.x and getting into the course I want.
Think a bit before you post.
All:
I think you're missing what I'm really saying: the vast majority of students in NSW are absolute failures. If you aren't able to stomp them in the HSC (i.e. attain a UAI of 85+), in my eyes,there's something wrong with you.
For a Y11 student to be aiming for a UAI of 70-80 is pretty sad, because you're aiming to be slightly better than someone who spends their final year of school fucking around, who is quite happy to go out and get a regular job and live a regular life.
OP:
Regardless of what other people say, attaining a UAI of 95+ is not impossible just because you aren't a genius at a top 10 school. I personally know people who weren't child prodigies who were able to get upwards of 97 as well as people in y12 this year who are doing exceptionally well and aren't amazing.
If you really can't do well, despite your efforts (and I mean genuine effort), then that's just the way it is, but for the people who make excuses it's your life you're fucking up.
