If you want to get 80+ UAI and s (1 Viewer)

[trolloutaface]

do what I did:

-get a tutor for every single subject (I'm sorry if you're poor, tough luck)
-steal notes off BoS and put it in your own words so that you understand it better.
-do all your fucking homework! teachers don't give you H.W for no reason.
-you need to be ranked 1-5 for each subject.
-go through past exam papers. also, the syllabus is your best friend.

/awesome advice.

Pretty good advice, but

-get a tutor for every single subject

I like my money. I'm not going to follow this advice, even if it means having a (much) lower UAI.

-you need to be ranked 1-5 for each subject.

not true

I don't like your advice

There were a couple of people in my year who were complete morons in year 11 then all of a sudden in year 12 they were geniuses because they had 300 tutors that did all their assessments for them.

im sure markers have marked literally hundreds of papers and it wont be difficult to pick out some plaigarism

some guy directly copied as much as possible from one of the past hsc responses in english and used it as his own and our english head teacher who marked the hsc found it and gave him minimal marks

There's one of those guys in my year. He's a complete idiot except that he knows how to "fake" intelligence (getting answers of others,etc). The fact that this guy gets first in nearly every subject is testament to the fact that he gets tutors to do his assignments for him.

This is why i consider the HSC to be a complete joke.

If it's any consolation, his tutors won't exactly be able to lean over his shoulder and help him during the actual HSC exams.

sorry, i have to disagree with most of your advice.

1) i have never been tutoring/coaching and i don't think it's a necessity to go even if you're aiming for a UAI of 100. For some people, it helps, but it's not necessary and i think it's a waste of money for those that pay $75 an hour for 4-5 subjects.

2) Make your own notes, do not steal notes of BoS. They are helpful for clarifying areas you need help with, or last minute cramming, but it's still better to make your own notes.

3) Doing your hw is a good idea. I'm too lazy though.

4) You don't need to be ranked 1-5 in each subject. Students at schools like James Ruse can have average rankings for all their subjects and still end up with 99.xx UAIs

5) I think this is good advice.

So even if you have a rank of 8 in a low scaleing subject like business, can you still get a UAI of 80

 

[watatank]

of course you can.

...Business Studies isn't that bad with scaling, compared to heaps of other subjects.

AND YES YOU CAN.
There's an emphasis placed on being ranked within the top 5 because most assume that you would be aiming for a band 6. you only need to get a few band 5s and the rest band 4s to get in the 80s [assuming you do "low scaling" subjects.]

you can get 80+ uai with band 4s???? AMAYSING!!!!

 

[noir.]

Depending on the subject you do really. The "higher" the scaling, the more likely. But it'd be a low 80. With the "lower" scaling subjects, you'd need a min. of 2 band 5s, and mid to high band 4s. But again, it depends on what subjects you're doing.

Psht, tutors.

Waste of money. There's nothing they'll give you that you can't get by working harder by yourself. If you really need clarity then ask your teacher.
