Bio 9th
Phys 27th T.T
Chem 3rd
Eng Adv 84th lol.
Eng Ext 61th
Maths 59th T.T

Uai estimate: High 96's low 97's =/ thats what Jagger said =x.

As I said before i've got to work harder lol.
With those ranks I'm assuming that you've come within the top 30 in the grade, which according to the lastest trends in the annual report, is a UAI of 99, so you're doing quite well. (Especially in Chem)

No idea why he's pissed off with Physics. Considering how bunched up at the top most people in Physics were, 27th was really good. Getting two more marks would've gotten him 11th. Three more would've gotten him 7th.
Because of the mistake, that a Physics Teacher (not mine) made on recording my H/Y Theory, they created a new rank (17th from 70th) for me for Physics, same thing happened in Bio as well (But it was a drop from 2nd to 4th) stuffing up the ranks

Your Chemistry rank is really good especially since you go to SBHS. Your Biology is pretty good. Congrats :)

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

What is the hardest course to get in uni? Is it B.Sc (advanced maths)/MBBS or B.Eng (Space Engineering)/MBBS...I don't think you can take the latter in most cases.

Wait, there was a 17th for Physics? =\

Rofl. Hagan fails. For some reason all the ranks changed for Biology, but then that might have been because the head teacher enters the marks.. in our case Hagan ==.
LOL, I remember Alasdair and Justin coming straight out of the Bio exam, going: "OMGWTF? There was no question 2 or 4, but there were two question 7's. There were two questions with like: "refer to the diagram/equation above" with no diagram or equation, and there was a food chain one with answers relating to an eagle, but there was no eagle on the food chain. :p

12o9 said:
and if I had gotten 11 more marks I would have tied with you.. :p
Well, I sorta fluked Physics. First time I ever came first in a -serious- subject. Last time was Geography. Biggest jump ever, from 157th to 1st. =\

BTW, what is MBBS?

Top 50 school

15/80 in 2u maths
24/48 in 3u maths
3/30 in Ancient
4/15 in 2u french
2/3 in 3u french
24/115 in english
95+ UAI. That's all I can deduce at this stage. Even though 96+ seems difficult.

Really? I would've thought it to be 97 or 98... (not that I'm an expert or anything). All subjects but one were top 20%.

Well, in my opinion, he is closer to 95 UAI than he is to higher UAI like 96 or 97 mainly due to his ranks. His subjects are decent in terms of scaling but his ranks aren't that great to the extent that will give him 96 or 97 UAI.

He will need to improve his marks in Mathematics Extension 1, French Extension and preferably French.

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

I want to do Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics), so 95.95 for macquarie, or 98.85 (I really doubt that I'll get that) for sydney. I'd be fairly happy with 90+ though.

WTH? :p His English is awesome. I think 24th is quite steady. But, I think his MX1 could improve slightly.

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

Well, a UAI of 45 would do me nicely, but I won't be too cut up if I only achieve 30.
