What kind of marks do I need in assessments and exams and the HSC to get a UAI of 90+ and how much study do I need to do for it?

(I want to get into law :-] )

Thanks,

Steph

( and a bit of added info. in the last round of assessments I averaged 89.9%)

i was reading a booklet & i know that in legal you need to get at least:
9/10 in multiple choice
12/15 in short answer
23/25 in each extended response for something 90+

but thats legal. i dont know about anything else. sorry!

I am assuming that you are talking about a RAW MARK?

Well 90 aligned =/= 90 raw mark.

It's been already established that aligned mark is usually higher than raw mark by significant margin. So 90 RAW = probably much higher aligned mark like 96 or something.

TO OP: To get 90 UAI, you will need to get 370-380 scaled marks in general. That requires you to pull off about 74 scaled marks for each subject. In order to do that, you will need to get about low 80 aligned for all of your subjects to get higher UAI than 90.

Always be aware that 80 aligned =/= 80% in exam. It's more like 60%-70% raw in general.

Don't worry, it's quite complicated. I didn't know about that until I spent few hours learning about it last year.

but basically:

raw = actual exam mark that you get, e.g. 95/120 for 2 unit maths paper or 75/84 for 3 unit maths paper
aligned = it's also called "HSC MARK". It comes out on our HSC result paper. This mark is "aligned" from the raw mark. e.g. 95/120 in 2 unit maths paper = 88/100 aligned (this is an example)

Don't worry. You're probably smart enough to get into Law.

Ranks>Marks, so hard to say what marks you'll need internally, though you'll need to be ranked at the top (depending on school)
