Asking some questions (1 Viewer)

Here is my situation..
I'm 21 years old and now attending public high school in year 11
I know it's strange and hard for me to adapt with the condition (I'm older and another students are a lot younger)
I'm from overseas and actually had finished my year 12 there and went to Australia about 2 years ago. I did the HSC in TAFE the first 3 months of 2006 but it's not for me,there was no competition, the class was really small (about 10-15 people in the preliminary on the first 3 month and after that they were gone and just 3-4 came up to the class), and was worried about the scaling thing. I'd like to go to Uni because "muscle work" is not for me.
I live here by my self (all of my family in overseas) and I don't have much money to go to foundation or another pathways to go to University
So I went to year 11 last 2 week. I'm doing ESL, Math 2 U,Ext 1 Math,Chemistry,Physic,IPT, and English Fundamental (will finish on the end of year 11)

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum because I'm year 11 student but I think I'm asking about the HSC so I posted here.
I'd like to ask about my chance to gain the high UAI (>95).
Are my age,my school (public school with 15 90'ish and the highest UAI was 98.65),my English subject which is ESL a disadvantages for me to gain >95 UAI?
My advantage is that I've done it before with a above average result in overseas. I've read some of my subject's book (even year 12 book) and I think I can cope with that.

Sorry for my English

Ooh welcome Feel free to post here...also try the ESL forum for scaling I think.
I don't think that ESL is a disadvantage, well from what i've read on the forums there. Your age, your school aren't major factors in determining your UAI. The product of hard consistent work is.

GOOD LUCK

I remember during year 10, our school gave us a presentation on all the HSC english subjects. They had a chart which showed the highest UAI gained from students with ESL english, and on the chart it was 100. So you can definately get 95+.

^Yep, a guy from 2003 HSC got UAI of 100 with ESL, so most definitely possible. Good luck, and welcome! your English is very commendable considering you have only been here for 2 years, and if you think you're capable, you are, so keep going!
