Hey, I just did the Paper 1 exam and I stuffed up the Area of Study section. I ran out of time and wrote basically nothing, which i will expect with a little mark if any. How much will this weigh out of my whole english ? I know its worth 15 out of the 45 etc. But if im ranked 19 out of 40 adv. english kids and i dont have such a great assessment mark, where will that placed my english mark ?

If my english is poor will this greater effect my UAI ? I do IPT,SDD,SOR, Gen MATH and BS. I should go alright with these. I need an 85 UAI min for my course. Will i not get this now ?

I really dont expect a high mark for english. I was hoping to pull my mark up with my HSC exam, i guess not now :eek:(

The extended response question constituted 15 of the 45 available marks. The entire paper constitutes 40% of your English examination mark. That mark is only 50% of your English HSC mark (and we'll assume that no-one else in your class made the same mistake, so your moderated assessment mark should be unaffected). Your HSC mark for English counts for 2/10 = 20% of your UAI.

15/45 * 0.4 * 0.5 * 0.2 = 0.0133

That particular question will account for at most 1.33% of your UAI.

:)

Go study for the other 98.67% of it!

how does that work?? when I tried it in SAM, 20 mark difference in english will get me 9 mark UAI differnece

eg.. all my subjects are 80 with english 60 will get me 78, whereas everything in 80 will get me 87... thats a heck load of UAI just for english...

Varying your total English HSC mark is very different to varying the mark for an individual question.

SAM only accepts aligned marks anyway - the analysis was conducted with regard to raw marks. :)

(See <a href="/other/flowchart.pdf">this flowchart</a> for details.)

dude u think YOU f'd up? check this out, my school mark for advanced english is around 75%, in the AOS paper i skipped 7 marks in section 1, i wrote 4 pages in section 2 and only wrote a quarter essay LITERALLY in section 3. i think its due to bad time management and i over studied (yea there is such a thing) but in any case its safe to say i failed paper 1. i need over 70 in alligned mark to get my uai, around 90 so im VERY screwed

I find it interesting that we have the biggest english paper tomorrow and people are already giving up because of their first when they don't even know the result :)
There will be breakdowns!!!
