IT vs. UAI (1 Viewer)

[Fletch]

I just started year 12 and Im doing the following subjects:

Adv. English
Gen Maths
IPT
Software Design & Development
IT


Even if i go good in all my subjects.....my IPT teacher said that i will get a crap UAI because of IT......how much does it bring your UAI down by?

Define "crap UAI".

You'll also need to tell us whether IT is Industrial Technology or Information Technology.

 

[Fletch]

crap UAI = <80

And its Information Technology, as this thread is in the Information Technology thread....well i hope so haha

Yeah so basically say if I got 90% in all my subjects for the HSC, would IT and Gen maths put my UAI below 80 even though I do SDD, Adv English and IPT?

 

[Lazarus]

Oh yes, that would make sense.

No - scoring 90s in any combination of courses would all but guarantee you a non-crap UAI.

Muck around with SAM to see the contribution that IT might make towards your UAI.

The closer you are to the top of a course, the less you are affected by its scaling.

hmmm...comming first in a few of those subjects would guarantee you an uber-UAI. :uhhuh:

(you already got 90% so comming first isnt too far away)

I fear the same thing. I'm doing well in my other subjects however IT isn't really a subject I can sit down and confidently study. It will definitely drag my UAI down and infortunately for me I'm aiming in the 90's or at least the high 80's

Hey Fletch,

Dont worry about getting a 'crap UAI'. If you can get yourself in that Band 6 for IT (or for that matter any subject) there is no way you could possibly get a UAI less than 80. Yes even if you get in Band 6 for IT and assuming you get at least average bands for the rest of your courses I cant see how your UAI could be bad.

What is important is that you try your hardest and dont be discouraged about the UAI and IT. I came first in IT in 2004 (not lying....email me for confirmation if you want it). I got 93.50 which was more than what I needed to get into Computer Science at pretty much any major university in the country.

Just do your best and study, and you will reap your just rewards for your efforts
