The DUMBASS HSC and the DUMBASS LAT (1 Viewer)

[beetree1]

so i want to do law at unsw, but these dumbass exams are making me stress OUT!!!!
I failed all of my task2 exams but did pretty well for task1 (my ranks dropped from top 40 to top 80 /150 in top10 school , do I still have a chance in getting a 99 atar????
If so, what kind of marks should I aim for in my upcoming tasks????????????
THANK YOU andbye im going to cry now

i don't think you need 99 atar for law at unsw. Cut off is around 96 + LAT

Im pretty sure 96 atar is for people who get bonus marks cos they live in a farm or something

 

[B1andB2]

Lots of people at my school got 97 last year and made it in...

Yeah, I second that... I read the ATAR cutoffs.

Why not try another uni if you don't make it? Some law degrees have lower requirements elsewhere.

Let's cry together for the sake of justice.

you should refer to the uni handbooks to get an idea of the atar cut offs

yea i did, but it really doesnt help much cos of the fact that people who live in farms are alpha asF

Depends on your school ranking within the top 10, a bit of variation there, particularly with Ruse.
You should be at least what you were pre-assessment 2. However, keep in mind, that your ranks won't improve if you can't score well in exams, because that's what has the biggest weightings; trials, HSC.

yikes yikesyikes idek how im going to do well during this corona shit :/ u 2021 children r so lucky

 

[Velocifire]

Cool. That means I get bonus marks. I live in a sewer.

But you go back fulltime since you guys need it? Nah not really I wish I was in primary still... technically another round of holidays since you just learn times-tables meaning dosing off wouldn't cost you.

lots of schools incl mine are getting our tasks modified meaning that even if i had studied for an exam prior, it could be turned into a hand-in, or if i had prepared an essay, it could be changed to a research task. the uncertainty is CRAZY and i just want it to be normal

not really tbh. We need to online learn fundamental concepts which will be a basis for y12 stuff. You guys are more doomed tho. Good luck!

I don't really understand why your so concerned with the atar cutoff whether it is for the rural areas or not, because you can still get into a course if you receive and atar that is ONLY a few marks under the cut off.

If your failing ALL your subjects for term 2, thats a sign your not doing well obvs, nor are you putting in enough work. Its good to aim high for unsw, but you also need to work hard. I understand if you fail one subject, but if your failing all.. that says something.. :/ At this rate, 99 is going to be very difficult to achieve.

Also, you can do law at many universities and UNSW may not be the one for you? Law can be done at ACU for 70 atar, or at newcastle for around a low 90 atar etc etc.

1. Lol, I don't think he means literally failing.
2. He can still make UNSW with a good LAT. In the top 10, median ATAR should be around ~95. Also, at most schools within that ranking, internals should be extremely close. i.e., depending on a popoff in trials, climbing ranks by the 10s can be possible.
3. You have a point, doing bad in exams is worrisome.

Can confirm that ATAR needed for UNSW is garbage compared to USYD on average.

Because we all know that ATAR cut off of course == quality of course

Was not insinuating that.
