Hey guys do u think my uai has been miscalculated??


Courses Exam Assesment HSC
2 English (Standard) 73/100 70/100 72 4
2 Geography 75/100 66/100 71 4
2 General Mathematics 59/100 60/100 60 3
2 S Science 77/100 78/100 78 4
2 Visual Arts 81/100 73/100 77 4

I got a UAI below 50
do u think i should have got higher?

 

[Newbie]

jm12345679's calc says 48.55

 

[Ragerunner]

I would say below 50 is right.

All the subjects you do don't have very good scaling, and you didn't perform adequately enough to attain better marks.

harsh but true, sorry

 

[Benno]

yah that gen math mark would have fucked u up bad mate

 

[Rahul]

zoob, dont fall into the trap of averaging your hsc marks to use to calculate your uai.

good luck.

 

[iambored]

unfortunately yeah, that's an example of when the uai doesn't live up to the student's expectations. i think they should give out both on the same day.

 

[Ragerunner]

I think they should just give us our raw and scaled marks :/

 

[...]

i think they should just let us do what every uni course we want to do

Impossible!

Law must be completed as a Bachelor's/Master's (with LLB units) degree or by the Legal Practitioners Admission Board. One needs at least 4 years to complete such a degree (or full time/credit equivalent). High UAIs are apart of the life of Law. It is extremely competative, and with high UAIs, why? Here are some reasons why:

-Ensuring that people can complete the degree;
-To keep law a profession;
-Stringent Government and Self Regulatory controls;
-Decline in Law industry becuase of changes to litigation law;

You can do Paralegal studies at TAFE, to become a paralegal which on occassion will allow you to later do conveyancing. You coudl also do a an AssocDegree in Law (Paralegal Studies) at Southern Cross Uni, which will only allow you to be a paralegal.

Even so, the Diploma in Law is hard to complete.

The Diploma has a high rate of failure becuase of the lack of external support, however ex-HSC students fresh from school will find it easier becuase of previous study skills.

In addition all graduates whether DipLaw/LLB/LLM have to complete a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice and later apply to the Law Society or Bar Association (via reading course and examinations) to be accepted onto the bar.
