anyone UAI 90+ & did stand eng? (1 Viewer)

[kow_dude]

Did anyone get a UAI of above 90 and did standard english? I am curious because i think it is difficult to achieve 90+ since scaling for standard english is really bad...

 

[iambored]

i know someone last year who did 4u maths and std eng + sciences etc. and got 96/97

 

[Ragerunner]

I'm sure there are a lot of people.

Check the 2003 UAI's and HSC Marks corresponding with people's nicks.

If you really want to know.

 

[sugaryblue]

yes some of my friends did

 

[ReaveR]

Two of mine did as well (rest do advanced)

well i got 94.65 with standard with 85 as my HSC mark.....i dont think its hard...though i wish i had done advanced!

 

[lilp]

yeah i got 95.45 with standard english...my standard english hsc mark was like 81

yes the girl in my scool who got band 6 for eng std she got 96 around that

Yes, very possible. My cousin does Standard English, didn't get into band 6 for it (her mark for 86% in Std) and got a UAI of 99.2. It was largely based on her other subjects which consisted mostly of sciences and maths. Also, she was ranked first in Std english in her school, so that might've had something to do with .. not certain.

But that's all - it's very possible, even 99+ as evident

Edit: Marks for 2003

well i got 78 for stnd english and got a uai of 90.5, its 90+ but not very convincingly

 

[evilc]

did it last year and got 78 for std eng and UAI 93.75, 4 other people from my school got >90 with std eng

 

[Skull Kid]

78 in Eng Std, 90.25 UAI

 

[quarkfire]

I heard someone got 98.95 with std english

 

[~DuMbEr~]

Yeah i did..I got 87 for my english standard mark and my UAI is 93.70. Basically all u need to do is go quite well with your other subjects and pretty much get a band 5 for english standard..there shouldnt be any prob getting 90+ in that case..
But in saying that I do wish I had done advanced also..

The scaling for Standard is exactly the same as for Advanced.

When will people start to listen?

then it's just had to understand what the advantage of doing advanced over standard is

There's a nice little positive adjustment made to the modules paper for advanced students. And a not so nice little negative adjustment made to the second paper for standard students.

The adjustment is based on how well each group does on the common paper. The advanced group tends to do better on paper 1, and so they get a positive adjustment. But if, in one year, all the smart people chose to do standard and all the intellectually challenged people chose to do advanced, the standard paper would probably have the positive adjustment.

But after the adjustments, they're both scaled the same. And the marks from the common paper are never changed.

the twins in that smh article did general maths AND standard english and they both got 95
