The 'pool of marks' can be a useful analogy, but it's not actually what occurs.
If you're ranked first in a course at your school, your moderated assessment mark will be set equal to the top exam mark. Always. Automatic immunity to the performance of your classmates.

Re: my teacher is sick!
a)change skools,
b)become a 4 unit maths teacher,
c)leave the country, or
d) put up with it like most other 4 unit students who have a crap teacher
as for the "how do i get a UAI of 99+" i wouldnt worry about that till u get into year 12 a bit and your realisation sets in that HSC is not a stroll in the park
There is no set 'way' or 'technique' of getting 99+ u either can or u cant
i think u should

*jaw drops* i really think they should have run tutorials on this kind of thing BEFORE i stuff up big time! damn i suck...
So what happens if you come second? is it set equal to the 2nd best mark? or does it just happen with 1st place?
no it doesnt work like that after the 1st place
only the person ranked 1st gets a moderated assessment mark equal to the top exam mark
its based on the total average of the exam marks from your cohort, im not quite familliar with how these exam marks actually distributed into moderated assessment marks, but Laz could answer that, or check the UAC's PDF on last years scaling report (some 50 pages)

Tina: u look like ur already stressed with a further 8/9 months before you. Try taking things lil easier. Break everything down..breath in. Ull get ur 99 but take things as the come.
ABout the 4u teacher...dun worry too much..if he does the examples i should think thats its suffiecient..not how it should be..but enuff..u gotta do a lot of 4u at home by urself. It ll seem hard at first but with time everything will jump into place.

The easiest way to think about it is if you imagine your raw assessment marks being squished, stretched and shifted so that they fit the range of the exam marks. There's a document in the UAI/scaling section of the website which has further details.

Erg...
*thinks of the dux who got top in all but one of his seven subjects*
How nice of them to do this... there are people who wouldve done more work throughout the year beause of this immunity.
*plans to sue school and BOS for not using this carrot*
I would've at least workd harder. Even if there's still no guarantees for 1st place (selective) but still...
That's the final screw they'll be putting on our heads...
human cruelty... sadists...(reference to the change of expression in the host in full frontal's "So you wnna win $5?")
On a lighter note, we'll be available to answer your questions... the theory behind the subjects that you teacher miss out on will be useful. Also, since it might not be likely that you'll top all of your subjects,
my advice still stands. Just apply it when you think is reasonable.

thats so true, our teachers never really went into depth about the whole ranking thing, i think its cos its still new to them or something
but yeh maybe if u want a 99+ uai you should
a) be really smart
b) go out with all the hsc markers of your subjects (a tricky option but far easier than 4u maths)
c) lock yourself in a dungeon and take a hostage and make a deal to only come out if u get 99+
d) give all the smart students free heroin so they become smackies and drop out of school
e) place a blank cheque (preferably under someone else's account) in each one of your exam booklets
Good point Blake. We missed that one.
On the 'bad' 4u maths teacher...u could get a one-one tutor..wouldnt be more then 25-30$ hr. 2hrs on each weekend should be enuff to go over any prob encountered in the week. It might a lil expensive but likely to be effective (if u get a good tutor).....anyway..its just a suggestion.

on the subject of the 4u maths teacher, just be aware of how much time this could end up taking from other subjects. my 4u maths teacher was awful - he spent all the time attempting to explain (badly) the concepts, which only confused everyone immensely. what this ultimately meant was that we were pretty much teaching ourselves from the textbook. while i agree that the concepts and so on actually aren't that difficult to grasp, it does end up taking up a lot of your time. i had 13 units and did a bit of debating, as well as 3 units of french by distance ed, and when all was said and done, i didn't have the time i would have liked to do past papers or practice questions for 4u (which is what you really need to be doing), because of the time consumed in just learning the course. of course, if you're seriously set on this 99+ uai, i'm sure you'll make the time, but make sure that it's worth it and that it's not going to disadvantage other subjects.
