I tried to work hard from the start. In fact, I did the year 12 3U maths course in 6 days in the hols prior to beginning of Year 12 (which contributed to my success in that subject). But achieving a UAI of 99.5+ takes more than just hard work. I *really* started putting in after screwing up...
I am doing Combined Law in 2004 at USYD. I stuffed up MOST of my first assessments in 2003:
subject: mark (rank)
4 unit maths: 75% (7/21)
Physics 81% (23/70)
Chemistry 81% (29/70)
English adv 80% (55/150)
IPT 91% (2/20) ---> This subject din't count for UAI tho
3 unit maths 100% (1/70)...
(The 99+ is really reassuring, so thanks... it gives me a real motivation to work extra hard for the HSC. :D )
That was *not* a bullsh*t post. I studied REALLY hard for the extension 2 exam :). I reckon our school exams were similar to HSC difficulty (It IS a selective school BTW). I need a UAI...
What will my UAI be? (The marks are my trial marks, ranks are cumulative ranks)
Maths Ext 1: 99% ranked 1/60 (raw)
Info Proc & Tech: 95% ranked 1/21 (moderated mark)
Chemistry: 92% ranked 3/68 (raw)
