someone asked earlier for people who got 90+ UAI to say what subjects they did and if they worked hard, so...
I think the main reason I got a high uai was because of doing 4u maths, which is worth 2 units and suddenly makes 3u maths worth 2 units as well, and both 3u and 4u get scaled up *a lot* in uai calculations.
as for working hard, I definitely worked, but I wouldn't call it hard. My strategy has always been to treat what your learning as if you only get one chance to learn it, and never rely on study as a backup! The result was I payed attention a lot in class, and I didn't have to do bugger all study because I learnt it properly the first time.
Of course in practice it didn't turn out quite that well, because I found our chemistry class really boring and slow and so I drifted off in class and had to cram the textbook before exams, and I thought I didn't like english so I refused to do classwork, eg I didn't read the set texts (although when I was studying for the HSC I realized that it was actually interesting stuff, and I wish I had spent more time on it!)
In case you couldn't be bothered finding my other posts, I did Adv. English (83), 4u maths (89), 3u (92), physics (86), and chem (83), and got a uai of 96.45
