No

your ranks are not that outstanding, so itll be fairly difficult in my opinion to get 87 UAI.
you need to drastically improve on all your subjects between now and the conclusion of the hsc.
however all your subjects scale nicely, bar eng std so keep on going and im sure youll get your 87+
just try a bit harder
good luck

Commerce at macquarie was 84.55 last year (well this year i guess) for a CSP position. For a full fee paying spot it was 81.30, not 87.

thanks Jemsta.... and iamsickofyear12...

williamc: i said 87UAI just to be safe...

 

[williamc]

Fair enough, but at the end of the day your goal will be whatever that UAI entry ends up being. I'd say somewhere between 83-86 so 87 would be pretty safe.

What part of the HSC are you worried about? Not getting into Uni? Or not achieving your target UAI?

To be honest, either should be irrelevant at this stage. As I keep telling people, thinking about progress too much is time wasted that could be put into study. And if you are constantly worrying, your study will be less effective. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to focus your attention too much on progress as it is still way too early in the HSC to be able to make any sort of true judgement unless you expect your performance to stay the same.

But looking at your results, and taking into account that your school tends to do quite well, I can see you getting around the 88-92 UAI at least IF your performance stays the same, which i'm sure it won't. I'm sure you can improve and there is ample time to make that improvement.

And just to repeat, stop worrying about your progress and focus on the task at hand, that is to study.

SHITE!!! 85 people at your school do Maths Ext 1? That's about the equivalent of my whole grade PLUS some.

(I guess I'm just not exposed to this amount of smarts very often..)

 

[jemsta]

haha selective schools tend to have a lot of people in their grade....plus some of them do high scaling subs such as maths ext 2, which explains the high number of maths ext 1 students

 

[Loza33]

yeah hey zaqwerty i too was shocked at the amount of people doing ext. 1 and ext. 2... crazy... bit i do go to a small school...

What do you guys reckon about mine? My marks and ranks have been ok i guess, but im worried that that is just because i go to a small school and they will actually be really bad in comparison in the hsc and the uai that sam etc tells me im getting will be completely wrong...

English Advanced
87% 2nd/41

English ext.
84% 3rd/9

Maths
92% 1st/22

Drama
96% 1st/6

Ancient
80% 2/8

Ext. history
86% 1st/3

They sound good... but maybe my teachers are just nice markers and all my marks will be heaps worse in the HSC??

Im scared....

ranks are pretty good, and your marks reflect on that.
however, seeing as youre doing 10 units, you have to do well in each and every one of them, but if you keep this work up, 90+ UAI for you should be a piece of cake
good luck

You and I are much the same. I do ten units and I've got a high rank in all my classes. Plus, I go to a small school.
I'm scared also because I think my teachers might be marking easy too...

I guess if we work hard then we shouldn't be too scared....

Honestly, I doubt you'll get 85, probably not even close.

Ignore these other people, they are trying to make you feel better and relax, when in fact you are going to have to wither create some kind of miracle, or give up now.

Take it from me, I had almost exactly the same ranks as you, except two of mine were better, I got more than 85 for every external exam, my school was top 20 in the state, and I got a UAI of 72.

just warning you, don't get your hopes up.

 

[kev311]

oooh....k...thanks everyone for their comments...oh yeh...wow...people who go to small schools with gd ranks....hope u guys do well! all the best everyone!!!...work hard and u'll succeed...:wave:
