q for those lucky enough to have finished their hsc (1 Viewer)

[honkytonk]

i dont know if this subject has been done to death (probably has) but i was wondering whether those who had done their hsc last year or the year before were surprised at their marks?

that is, what did you expect your uais to be and what did you end up with?

 

[elizabethy]

from the beginning of yr 12 , i always aimed 2 get a uai of 95+ n i ended up getting 95.85!!
but for chemistry n physics i had aimed 2 get a band 6 n i got a band 5 ...so i was disappointed but i don't really care abt phys n chem now

so bottom line is i reached my goal.....

 

[santaslayer]

i was aiming for a 85+......it seemed that 85 was a near impossible task.......ending up getting 91.15. suprised?.......slightly, would say it was satisfactory

I was aiming for a uai of low 60s, but i almost got 70, which was a shock

your marks from end of y11 don't change much

 

[honky tonk]

I was pleasantly surprised with HSC marks and UAI.

the system is stuffed, basically if u're not a fuking nerd, if u do low scaling subjects, u're scewered.

if u do highscaling, like 4unitmaths,phsics,economics,adv english.
there is literally no chance of getin lower than 80..its the way it is.

oh shit...*drops legal

No it's not.

I saw a girl from my skool a few days back...and she was like she didn't do really hard subjects like, "Physics, Chem, Bio, 3 unit Maths and advanced english" that's why her UAI was low....and she got marks "around 50, without studying"..LOL...i thought the lowest mark that they mostly give is a 50!!! :rofl:

 

[honkytonk]

hmm...so it seems that most are pleasantly surprised with their marks? sounds promising.

although, this means that ill be raising my standards and thus will probably be disappointed...oh well

 

[perfectionist]

Well i reckon, that u can aim for a mark...but u mite not necessarily get it, since it all depends on the day. Well this is what i think.

I was aiming for over 91 and I ended up with 92.8, so I was happy
There were times when I thought I wouldn't reach my goal but consistency is the key, your hard work will get rewarded
Best of luck...

i was ecstatic with my chemistry mark (64) which most people here, if they got that would prob jump in front of a bus..but you need to understand i never passed a chem exam in 2 years and id been going to tutoring since the yr 12 1/2 yrlys..

as for my UAI...condsidering the lack of work i had done (apart from chem) i was pleasently surprised...i got 73.3 and i was expecting mid-high 60's
that being said, i didnt get anywhere near what i should of (if i had have worked)
but oh well, i was happy enough

 

[yellowpixietoys]

my marks were all a suprise. i think generally people do better than expected in some subjects and worse in others. i thought i wouldnt even hit 80 in bio, and i got 92. but in 3u english i was told id get about 47, and i got 44. but overall i was aiming for a uai of 97, thinking id get about 96 and i got over 98. so it was nice.

ahahah so was i!!!! i'd never passed a chemistry theory test the entire two years, even though i did pretty well in the pracs and i got 100% for an assignment (it wasn't hard -__-) so i was ecstatic with my hsc chem mark LOL
and i was really happy with my maths hsc mark too, especially after scaling down

overall i was (happily) surprised with my hsc marks...
and the UAI i got was kinda what i expected. iw ish i could've gotten higher, because i know iw orked hard enough for it, but yeah scaling does affect it a lot. oh well, it's over, i've gotten into uni, now i'll just work my ass off and try to get a transfer

Why did you choose chem if you wont good at it? I choose physic (biggest mistake ever) cause my mum said to choose it for scaling and as santaslayer would tell, I had the worst start ever, First yr 11 assesment, I failed behond failed, and first prectice exam - I got like 30% max but I still managed a low band 4, yay for me, Never give up hope.
