Yes. If you look at the UAC scaling report, the top UAI in Standard English for the past two years have been 99.80 and 99.90, but these students probably had high scaling subjects with them. If you want to achieve a uai of 90+ in standard english, make sure you have higher scaling subjects with you! :D

I achieved a UAI of 99.6. It's definitely possible, don't lose hope! My subjects were English Standard, Mathematics Extension 1, Economics, Studies of Religion 2 and even Visual Arts.

Good luck :)!

it doesn't make any difference? standard and advanced english are scaled the same for your uai so as long as you go well in it it shouldn't matter.

i did standard english and my UAI was 93.50. my mark in std english was 79. i also did really low scaling subjects like IPT.

Top UAI for Standard English in 2008 and 2007 was 99.9 and 99.95 respectively. So, yes it's doable. I'd say 90 uai+ is very achievable, but to get around 99+ in Standard English, you'd need a high band 5 or Band 6.
