ATAR Help :) (1 Viewer)

[xXmuffin0manXx]

Dont take this as a personal attack or anything, but your subjects listed are
4U Maths
4U English
2U Chem
2U Phys

When the UAI is calculated based on your performance, a minimum of 10 units are taken OVER 4 SUBJECTS. This means that chem and phys are essential and will DEFINITELY be counted in you best ten, even if you recieved 100 for all 8 of your other units!

So essentially 2U of your english HAS to be counted, which means basically doing well in all your extensions may not be of any great benefit<!-- google_ad_section_end --></SPAN>

Is that true?

I know that one has to do a minimum of four subjects but that doesnt necessarily mean that the fou subjects all contribute to my ATAR does it?

Say 4u English, 4u Maths and Legal are counted make up my top ten units..
how exactly would physics be included?

Thank you!!

Are you all there in the head?

Top ten units contribute. that is all.

in essence it means that if physics is your worst 2 units, you will have done 2 years of physics for nothing

These requirements can be confusing sometimes.

The answer can be found here:

Although eligibility for an ATAR requires completion of at least four subjects, the aggregate may be based on less than four subjects, for example English Advanced, English Extension 1 and Extension 2, Mathematics Extension 1 and Extension 2, and one other 2-unit course.
