hmm..makes me want to start volunteering. Haven't done anything for the past 3 years...

If your final ranking is still only about 4 marks away from 1st, it shows you and the 25 other students ahead you are still doing well in comparison to each other. If everyone continues to perform similarly in the HSC exam, you should attain a hsc assessment mark that is close to the first place...

I believe, the EAS (Educational Access Scheme), is what is available to students who feel they have or will not do well as a result of problems due to sickness or other various problems. Have a read of the sticky thread in the Technical Arcana forum for a better understanding.

If you are interesting in more facts about the UAI/HSC, have a read through the Technical Arcana forum. It contains answers to almost every question in relation to the HSC and UAI.

When you are ranked first, your HSC exam mark will become your HSC school assessment mark. i.e. Your HSC mark is your HSC exam mark if you also score the highest HSC exam mark in your class. As Riviet said, it is the best possible scenario you can be in. You should try your best to maintain...

Could you be a bit more specific? What prevents you from entering the marks? I would say it was a good thing that it didn't let you because what you are doing is wrong. You cannot simply enter your 1/2 yearly marks and expect to get a proper estimate. In fact, thats one of the last things I...

Although there are 'backdoors' to getting into uni. The easiest and most common way is through the HSC. As people have said, it's not long till the hsc is over. I really hope you will try your best until the end of the hsc exams. It's not worth throwing away your easy chance into getting into...

I play world of warcraft, I can't stand end game raids, I get extremely sleepy. And the most annoying thing to ever hear in real life is 'Sorry can't go out, got to raid'. I hate when people put a computer game over their entire life. You know you are addicted to wow when you are more scared...

As he said, it is still possible to attain your goal. And as with most goals in life, you have to work for it. If your year is anything similar to your previous years, that is ranked 70-80ish, you'd probably still have a good chance of attaining 90 if you try to improve on your marks.

Agreed. You definitely should do a lot better than 70 if you continue to work the way to do now.

The half-yearly exams usually differ in format, types of questions asked and difficulty. So yeah it would be hard to really say how you would go in the HSC exam based on that. But seeing as your teachers have been marking hard and you are still doing well, both mark-wise and rank-wise, I'm sure...

Try to save analysing your marks until after the HSC exams, right now you should focus on studying to your maximum potential. It is still early in the HSC to repair things the subjects you want to do well in. The more you think about what UAI you might get, the less time you spend studying, and...

It's probably not the best time to use SAM in terms of UAI estimating. The best time would be after your trial marks are released and when you finish all your HSC exams. Just try your best and try not to worry too much about what type of marks you need yet. It's still quite early in the HSC to...

I shoulda gone and talked to those Randwick Boys guys, I went to that high school too! And they need all the guides they can get :)

If the person performs very unusually poor in the external exam, he/she may be omitted from the moderation process.

How do you know it's me? I don't even know you :P

You have to decide whether the extra unit will make an effect on your time in your other subjects. In my opinion, there really isn't any safety net. If for example you did bad in another subject and used history as your -safety net-, you have to ask yourself whether is it because you had to...

SAM is not available for download. It is entirely an online tool. Link to SAM is here.

Firstly, what type of marks are those? Secondly, it is -way- too early in the year to get a prediction based on your marks so far. It is really impossible to accurately predict your UAI during this stage of your HSC. You haven't even had your half-yearlies.
