That totally applies for General Math too. Although I enjoy it being as easy as it is, it doesn't challenge me whatsoever. It's basically the work we've done in years 9 and 10. But I'm glad that's the case because I hate math and wouldn't want anything more than General! I doubt it too but the...

But she seemed pretty damn convincing. It was question time, and someone asked if you we're off the cut-off mark, by just a slight margin, would you still be able to enter the course, and she responded with a strict "no" due to the demand of the Journalism degree. I'm pretty sure speedofsound...

If all goes well with my English yearlies, then I'll ask to drop SOR and jump into Extension 2U... I'm not sure tho. With the Einstein Calculator, there are the "HSC MARK" and the "HSC SCALED /100" If I were to get an 'HSC MARK' of 92, does that equate to 89.8/100 as a 'true' mark? But I'll...

Our exams are Weeks 8 and 9. Starting to study right now, but just taking it easy at the moment. Guessing you go to Danebank?

Managed 5 pages in 40mins in the latest English exam. My hand was shaking near the ending 10 minutes!

Basically a few UTS'ers were walking around with a clipboard asking if you wanted to participate in a small survey (which asks you how you were finding the ambience, seminars, food etc.) and you were then given a ticket you present to the booth outside near the nova booth to redeem the swag. Bad...

The lady speaking on behalf of Journalism was really charismatic whereas the lady talking about information and media... was not. Almost half of the '30' people from the information and media seminar left half way haha... Oh, and did you manage to fill out a survey and receive the free UTS tee...

In some cases, we have some typical 'old school' HSC markers, and mark you DOWN for simple mistakes, whilst fairly lenient markers. But in my case, I've been robbed several times for certain subjects due to the extremely hard marking, while another class received a 'prejudiced' mark for the same...

Guess I'll have to stop being a panzy and step into hell for a year, that is, drop my social life and study study study. I could manage a 83 if I study a little more of Modern, I could easily achieve a band 6 for English Adv, Most likely a 85 for General Math, Not too sure about Business...

So basically all band 6's?

I was asking Black Kat, but those aren't half bad scaling subjects! Do you mind sharing your UAI?

Do you mind sharing your subject choices? Just curious. I think I'm capable of overall Band 6's, it's just that I can't unlock that potential inside me as of yet, and that I always seem to zone out in class, although I'm able to keep concentrated when studying for an exam. It's a huge let...

I understand that a band 5 are different in certain subjects at a extent. Obviously, I'll strive for that band 6, but we have different 'expectations' and you can't judge me, simply because I stated that "I'm not as bright as selective students", which is a fact.

Seriously? A band 5 is not a 'half decent' mark to you? What's up with selective students :mad1:

Yeah, I get your vibe. Thanks for the assuring words, although today we were told that besides UTS bonus scheme, they're very strict with the ATAR cut off, even if you're 1 ATAR off the cut-off, they won't accept you. Yeah sure, I could do that, but I'm no where near as academically bright...

I'll give it a go, but I can't see the 69.70 UAI SAM presented me jumping up to an UAI of 85+ due to scaling, it's too good to be true EDIT: It estimated a UAI of 80.05, and an 'Actual UAI' of 82. I'm not convinced tho, if what you're saying Nicola is true, I'd put my head down, and study my...

If that's what it takes to achieve my required ATAR, then yes. But how does that exactly work? I am 'shitting bricks' at the moment, so stupid of me - reality just set in today. I entered my marks, as a 'hypothesis', based on how well I could do in my own experience.

Yeah, I know. Entering my scores into the SAM calculator, with the subjects I want, noting my ability and I would achieve an 85+ UAI... Should I change schools? I'm contemplating Cranbrook, and will talk to my parents later tonight...

Yeah, but I'd much rather study: English Advanced Ext 2U English Math General Modern History Ancient History Economics That should've been pick back in Year 10. I actually now WANT to change schools, I don't know what to do! It's killing me :burn::burn:

The Journalism seminar was PACKED today and funnily enough, almost everyone was Anglo-Saxon, I felt a little unique, being the only Asian, but hey, I'm usually known as the 'Asian, that is not Asian' :haha: It was a great, informative day all in all, and who could reject FREE FOOD?!?
