Maths and UAI (1 Viewer)

[pulsado]

Ok whats better for a UAI a band 4 in Mathematics or a band 6 in general can people use evidence to back up their claim
thanks

prob band 6 general
however there are a few exceptions such as a band 5 maths ext 2 result is better than band 6 general maths

but usually band 6 in anything is quite good

Most probably band 6 in general maths.

 

[cuppy]

i think a band 6 in general maths would be the way to go as Without Wings has demonstrated.

plus it'll make the distinguished achievers list =]

Is there a link to the complete scaling of HSC subjects in comparison with other years? I swear I've seen it around on BoS but just can't seem to find it...

I know its hard, but you seriously have to forget scaling and concentrate more on achieving the best mark you can! It's just a time waster thinking about it...believe me, I used to think about scaling heaps and how that would affect my UAI etc..there is no real way you can figure how scaling works because it depends on the performance of your cohort anyway.

P.S. Band 6 General Maths > Band 4 Maths (2U)

watatank is right, enuf of this rubbish about scaling, we cannot affect it or change it no matter what we do, and to try and predict the scaling of subjects is impossible, it doesn't matter what school u go to, wat subjects u do, if u put in the effort, u'll get the marks, and the high UAI

its as simple as that

don't mean to sound harsh, but i just get sick of hearing ppl questioning scaling all the time

Oh damn I wish I did General Maths, now I'll have the Trapezoidal Rule from Integral Calculus stuck in my head for the rest of my life.

I chose to do general maths instead of 2u coz i wanted to pass and do well...i ended up toping the grade and getting 83 in hsc...now i know its not a great mark but it is a lot better than i would have done in 2u...just do whatever you find easier dont chose subjects coz of scaling, if u think you will achieve higher in general than do that one, as long as u enjoy ur subjects you will do better therefore achieveing higher uai...if u cant do it it'll only weigh u down

 

[hmmmm...]

according to my maths teacher they only give out approx 4 band 6s every year tho, last year they gave out six..thats 4 general maths, not sure bout the other one u said..apparently its very hard 2 get a band 6 so yeh...

 

[jaaaaay]

why don't you try putting your subjects in SAM? might give you a better idea... oh wait... Without Wings already did it =]
