UAI Estimates (1 Viewer)

Hi, I was wondering what sort of UAI I would get at the end of this year if I did these subjects. Im also asking which VET course I should take the test for: IT or Business Services. Its just that I'm a very weak English essay writer, and I kind of know that I will not do really well. For example, I can only churn out 2-3 pages for english, and even then I freeze up in the middle of the exam.

My Expected Marks:
English ADV 2u 65%
Maths ADV 2u 50%
Ext 1 English 1u 60% (For some reason, the people in my school have to do Ext1 along side EXT2)
Ext 2 English 1u 75-80% (I'm Making a Movie. yay)
IT VET 80-85%
Business Studies 2u 70-75%
Business Services VET 75%

I dunno, I kind of suck at school now. I used to be really good from year 7-10 (Consistent A+'s), but from the beginning of year 11 to now, my marks have really been degrading to the point where I ask myself WTF I'm doing in school. I dont want to go to uni, I want to get an apprenticeship. If anybody has any hints/tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, does a HSC and UAI matter after you have finished high school and not go to uni? I was told that If you do badly in the HSC and get a crappy UAI, it doesn't matter to employers. I'm kinda worried.

THX dudes

we need your ranks as well as your marks to give you a better approximation
depending on the school you go to, your UAI could fluctuate by as much as 15 points.
if your essay writing is weak, then i suggest a private english tutor to help you prepare for your trials and hsc examinations, if you want to do well

but then again, if you wanna get an apprenticeship at tafe, and you dont intend on goign to uni, then your UAI wont be a big deal really.
im sure youll be fine
