Hi viewers,
i am doing advanced english in HSC and my mean teacher is only passing me in this subject's assessments (giving me 55-65% per assessment). :eek: despite the amount of hard work i am putting onto this subjects.
i am scared i might end up getting a final mark in band 3 or 4. i am really concered, is it possible for me to get a UAI above 90-93 with this mark?. or put it another way has anyone got a UAI above 90 with band 3-4 in English ADV.?
i do:
PHYSICS
CHEMISTRY
4U MATHS

i highly doubt ur teacher is giving you pass marks just because they're mean.
hard work =/= high marks

and yes its possible to get over 90 with a band 3/4 in english, especially with those subjects

what these guys said.

although unless you can absolutely ace the other subjects in your sleep, improving your english mark would be the easier way to go

"Me think is not very good selective school." If you were a selective school student, you'd most likely be doing Extension/Advanced English - ESPECIALLY if you went to a good one like Ruse, High, Baulko etc.

Anyway, back to the OP, really, english is only 2 units of your hsc.. as long as you don't fail it and you achieve good marks in your other subjects - you'll be fine.
