Hi everyone,

So Im doing only 10 units and that is: Gen maths, Anc hist, Standard Eng, Modern hist and Biz studies..

Will I be getting a VERY, VERY bad UAI if I only get band 4's and 5's in all these subjects?

[GEN MATHS] There is only 4 students And they only do 10 units as well
[ANC HIST, MOD HIST] there is only 10 students in each class
[BIZ STUDIES] Only 8 students
[STANDARD ENG] There is 20 students

P.S - You guys can leave the subs you do and ideas on this topic as well for reference

thanks guys

Depends how badly everyone else does with the same subjects =P

But as a general rule, only 10 units and a band 4 in general maths is a reciple for disaster. It's not too hard of a subject, you should be aiming for band 6's -Though everyone is different.

Really, your subjects don't scale too well, so band 4's (well band 4 in any subject...) won't cut it for a "good" (80+) UAI.

simple, you aim higher and work harder.

 

[possessionless]

id be going for bands 5 & 6 if i only had 10 units :|

 

[youngminii]

Well hopefully you're not aiming for 80+. Heck, you shouldn't even aim for 70+

AHA, be nice to the newbie XD

 

[youngminii]

Rahaha, just being truthful.

Protip: Aim for higher bands

wow thats lovely

 

[andrewPAL]

I guess im better off working at woolworths or beg in the streets

 

[Continuum]

atleast he's being honest. but really, those subjects scale shitass.

 

[iRuler]

study hard, u got time... get atleast 88+ in each for a decent uai, if u get band 4's.. u could end up with a uai of like 50

It's still higher than what your aiming for.

nah dont say that
theres always other ways to get in even if you dont get your desired UAI
some people are just way too up themselves. dont worry
& you can get a good UAI with any combination of subjects provided you do well as in band 5's & 6's.

LOL why is he suddenly being labeled a failure based on the subjects he is doing? its really stupid.

I believe it is because not only the subjects, but the expected bands in the "low scaling" subjects.

And @OP - just do your best, you can't do more than that anyway.

i didnt say that some people were saying they are 'low scaling subjects'

 

[the-derivative]

They are low-scaling subjects, but that doesn't mean he'll do crap.
As long as he is able to do well in all of his subjects - then he'll get a reasonable UAI (it might be hard if you're aiming for 90+, but 80-90 should be achievable).

Also, knowing what Pal College is like, you've got such a small cohort - that you gotta try and top your low scaling subjects.

 

[lyounamu]

My friend achieved 97 UAI with subjects scaled about same to what the OP did.

/thread

btw he did industrial technology, geography, studies of religion i, english advanced, general maths and legal studies

he achieved band 6 in all his subjects.
