i can only drop Sports, lifestyles and recreation. I really regret doing a board endorsed course, no option what-so-ever when it comes to what i want to drop.
Don't worry. 99+ is easily possible with English (Standard). As long as you pull off Band 5 in English (Standard) and get awesome marks in other subjects, why not 99+ UAI?adidasboy said:May drop advanced english & focus on other subjects. I suck at english !
But i heard how impossible it is to get band 6 in standard.. ahh Do people get band 5s in standard eng?
Dunno what to do lol.
I don't exactly wish to ruin my UAI ( Need 90+).

I shall tell you a little classic story. At my school, we have a history of great HSC performers who have undertaken English (Standard).
In 2004, the Dux of my year got 99.90 UAI. He undertook English (Standard) because English was not his strongest subject. He didn't get Band 6 in English (Standard). He probably got mid-80s for English (Standard). His name is Peter Yoon and he came first in the state for Mathematics as an accelerant student in 2003. In 2004, he came first in Physiscs in the state. By doing English (Standard) he allowed himself plenty of time to focus on subjects he liked. That's how he could get those awesome results.
In 2007, the 2nd Dux of my year got 99.45 UAI. He also undertook English (Standard) because English was his second language. He also didn't get Band 6 in English (Standard) either. However, he still managed to get that awesome UAI. He was very strong in Mathematics, Science and Commerce though. He came top 5 in the state for Mathematics as an acclerant student in 2006.
So in conclusion, don't feel depressed. Both people I just mentioned didn't get Band 6 either. They got mid-80s.
No, mid-80s = 78-80 scaled mark.adidasboy said:omg thank you namu, you're an angel (no homo)
So if you get mid-80s, it won't be scaled down to 65 -70s?
its funny coz u never ended up dropping itchemistry's gone for me
Heheh, I've answered this a few times (although I havn't done the HSC) in my opinion if you've chosen to do the HSC and go for a UAI then you should be able to go very well in the 10 units you have chosen and not need 12 (for back up). They are subjects you like or hopefully do and with the 10 units there is plenty of time to spend on them.Heyy guys,
Is it better to do 10 units or 12 units for the HSC?
i think there is a thread on this but i can not seem to find it.
Somone post the link if they know.
