english dosen't count if it is worst subject in hsc? (1 Viewer)

[purebladeknight]

hi,

the scenario: i have 12 units in year 12 (6 subjects all of which are 2units each) - I sit the HSC and come out with English scoring the lowest mark relative to my other 5 subjects.

now, i know that only 10 units are counted towards the atar.

my question is: does English get ignored in this case i.e. my other 5 subjects go towards my atar.

- i have played around with SAM and found that English is not disregarded in any case but i am not satisfied and seek further confirmation.

thanks.

english is always counted, both units, towards your atar

Your best 2 units of English count no matter what. So if you do ESL, standard, or only advanced then both untis count no matter what. However, if you do 3 or 4 unit then at a minimum your best two count. Your best two being those which will contribute the most points to your aggregate for ATAR calculation.

2 units of any english is ALWAYS counted (this is why english is compulsary)
best 8 units of category A subjects are then counted (not sure bout cat B subjects)

as said above english always counts, i think because everyone has to do it.

English *always* counts, it's compulsory. Don't forget that!

then use the fact english is compulsory and there will be literally thousands of people there for you to beat and then come at pretty much near top of the state.
and then to make the deal better, beat those who like english at their own game by scoring higher than them.
