I don't think I'm capable of producing such quality that can compensate for that much quantity.

Re: HSC success stories

with my ranks at the moment, im probably looking at a 96ish ATAR. i started off shit, then tasks 2 and 3 i brought my ranks back up. trials i went shit, and im sure theyll go down. Thing is, i want 99+.im not just saying that. i actually want it. does anyone know of people getting such an estimate, but ending up with a 99UAI? just wondering thats all, either way im gonna gun it these next two months!

just reading through the latest posts:
i couldnt care less about scaling to be honest. i dropped my 2 highest scaling subjects. to me doing what you like and what you're capable of doing is more important.
no point doing something you're not capable of doing just because it 'scales well'
and if you dont enjoy something you are less likely to put the effort in.

Re: Trials fail = goodbye band 6?

Adv Eng is the only one im not good at, and what else was i meant to pick fukin Cafs or Pe and be with the idiots of the year.

i know my subjects have good scaling, but i have not read every single scaling report ever made, which some of you people obviously have, and every second thread is about subject scaling, and theres always namu around ready to tell everyone what their scaled marks would be.

Namu hasn't posted much on BoS lately actually and i highly doubt that even one person has read all the scaling reports - why would you bother when it's pretty much the same every year?

i hated 3u maths ALOT.
and 3u english was just too much english for me lol.
i enjoy biology alot more than both of them. & actually i think im doing better in bio this year than i did in 3u maths.

Same here with me and 3u english.
If I was a scaling-orientated person, I would've kept it because it scales well, although some could say that my choice to replace it with 4U maths would've been scaling orientated

Re: Trials fail = goodbye band 6?

At the time of subject selections, I too had no idea how well particular subjects scaled, probably because of teacher and BOS representatives continually telling us not to worry about scaling. It's just a coincidence that the subjects I chose scaled high. I chose them because they are the ones I'm good at. Probably the ones I feel are useful and interesting.

Re: 回复: Re: Trials fail = goodbye band 6?

BOTH me and Namu do Standard English cuz we fkn care about scaling so much!

Technically, English (Standard) and English (Advanced) have same scaling. But I did choose English (Standard) because I liked its texts much better and I liked the idea of having my current English teacher and class as it was much more motivating.

Scaling hardly influences my subject choice. I do Business Studies, Biology and Studies of Religion 1 which are hardly "good-scaling subjects". At the same time, I do Mathematics Extension 2 and Cosmology which are deemed as "high-scaling" subjects. I chose subjects which suit my interest and intellectual proficiency.

I got about 70% in the 2U Trials and a pretty average ranking I ended up with a Band 6, and this was the year which my school dropped heaps in ranking.

what uai did you get?

yeah i am NOT a scaling person at all! i did really well in it too i think i got over 85% in everything but i really couldnt cope with advanced and extension in year 12.

I haven't gotten my UAI yet. I just accelerated Mathematics, so I did my HSC for that specific subject a year early.

 

[Cocopops.xox.x]

Is there anyone at all who actually have EXPERIENCED IT?

I really don't care about ranks and school marks, just whether if it HAPPENED TO YOU, as in stuffed up trials in your subjects, AND BY STUFFED I MEAN lower then
75 (band 4??)

 

[Cocopops.xox.x]

Whoops, sorry didn't finish.


AND MANAGED GET A GREAT UAI. >90

I'm not sure if you understand me correctly.
I DID experience it. I didnt do well in my trials and I got a band 6 HSC mark. I don't know if you know this, but your UAI is generated by your HSC marks, which is made up of school and external examination marks.

 

[Niek]

okay so this didn't happen to me (because I'm doing the HSC this year...)
But my teacher was telling me about a girl who was ranked pretty badly in english, only got about 75% for an internal mark, but ended up getting 95 for english overall
and she got over 90 in her ATAR too
I'm seriously hoping this sort of thing can happen to me too

 

[-may-cat-]

It most certainly can, you just have to smash the HSC exam.
