aargh...the only one i missed...:(

this is very true. it said on her tutoring thread that she got 99 in one of the MXs and 100 in the other...both sides of that girl's brain work pretty well it seems

:eek: dp624...i agree that this is very possible sometime in the future, but... for 99.9% of us, topping a subject, or coming anywhere near to topping a subject, is seen as a crazy mad amazing feat that even the best of us will struggle to achieve. i know that you got an amazing UAI at a...

you keep the 2008 scaled mark. From the UAC website: "For students accumulating courses towards their HSC, scaled marks are calculated the year the courses are completed. Marks are not re-scaled each year. "

... no need for this thread to get acrimonious. Congratulations to everyone on the list, their amazing UAIs are not so much achievements in themselves as they are recognition of a great deal of hard work, sacrifice and commitment sustained over their schooling careers. It's true that UAI is only...

Agreed with the people above. The high UAI cutoff of a course is, in most cases, more reflective of the popularity of a course rather than of it's difficulty. And this year the Federeal Govt reduced science courses to the "national priority" fee band level - indicative of the fact that there are...

lol. not even i'm this worried about the start of uni. That said though, my ol' trusty Eastpak will serve me well I suspect

woo! Win for the collective knowledge of BOSers :party:

yeah i was gonna ask that as well, what kind of job/ industry do you see yourself working in? Given that you're planning to do similar subjects regardless of which one, I'd go for the Comm/Sci, because it is easier for employers to see what you have actually done and what you are actually...

inner eastern or inner western suburbs imo.

To both of you, absolutely it is possible. People have had 100UAIs with those kinds of subjects. In fact, 3 of my close friends at school did no maths or science subjects (one did 2U but it didn't count towards his UAI) and they got 95.xx, 96.xx ans 98.xx.

yeah i'm allergic to fancy soaps - lush etc. dettol as well. gotta use pears otherwise i get eczema rashes:mad1:

I would stay where you are. I was in a similar situation to you, decided to stay in my own year for social reasons, and i certainly don't think it compromised my final results. Great teachers are not to be found everywhere, so if you've got them, then I'd take them. Plus, as you say, at a...

wouldn't it though? If the highest UAI becomes 99.95, will the only difference be that there will be more people with 99.95? Or will everyone get pushed down ie 99.95s becoming 99.90s, 99.90s becoming 99.85s etc? Admittedly this would make very little difference for most people, but it could...

dude... SC is mostly multiple choice. HSC you actually need to put in consistent effort.

Re: 回复: Re: Does a good performance inHSC maths and science ensure good performance in Univer lol very true

Well I'm glad it all worked out fine for you, this is exactly what ended up happening with me as well. Thank god for the scholarships office! (Although I also left a howler on the school's answering machine)

yeah it ia BOS policy that if you are away on the day of/ the day before a HSC assessment, you need a doctor's certificate otherwise the assessment counts for 0. Actually i'm not sure what the punishment is but I think that's it

also jessica tong from MLC(she had a tutoring thread here) and isobel yeap from kambala
