[Drone23]

Ok, basically i've been told by a few mates that when someone achieves a band 6 in 10u of study they recieve a premier's award...

Is this true?

Cheers

yes you get an award.
It's called the 'all rounders award'

 

[lyounamu]

it's an okay award

 

[oly1991]

just "okay"

 

[Aquawhite]

mmm, yea just 'okay'? I'm quite sure that getting all band sixes would be quite prestigious for many students.

it's really over-rated really along with getting a state rank.

I reckon getting higher UAI is a better award itself.

so the award doesnt do anything lol.

meh all band 6s.. not possible for eng lolz

yeh but wouldn't the people that achieve all round band 6's get an extremely high UAI anyway?

That would depend on what you consider a high UAI.

Getting a premiers award or a State Rank will be celebrated at my school. Only one girl has ever done so (2 or 3 state ranks, all rounder and premiers award). She got a UAI of 99.2 and put my school into the top 200 for one year ... this was a freak event lol.

I agree that getting a very nice HSC result and UAI would be much more pleasing, but getting 1st in the state must have been pretty significant to you... at least for a while.

With low scaled subjects, possibly. But if you had subjects like 4u maths, chem, phys, adv. english and scored 89 for each, that can be a lot higher than the low scaled subjects.

If we didn't have to do eng, i would get the award so easily

*Looks at Exhaust's signature for subjects*. Yep, yep... oh, got that one too. XD Say all the best scaling ones which you do too ^_^ It's very true though.

Just wonder , if you do 90 in 10 units, but not in english can you still get a premier's award?
