... dear God. Did you write this post from an underground bunker in the wilderness, surrounded by canned soup?

You can use SAM this early in the year but NOT for straight out subject/assessment marks. First you need to estimate what your actual HSC mark will be. Talk to teachers and 09ers from your school and look at threads on here for help.

Consider backup options, there's bound to be a few. There's always hope, but I wouldn't be banking on a 99+ from now on.

Only thing from subway that I ever eat ... they're so delicious.

Lol I picked some of my subjects for such bad reasons. Eg 4U Maths because I promised my friend back in year 9 that I'd do it + 4U English because I liked the teacher and I was promised at least one pizza party. But I'd probably have stabbed myself in the head if I'd done any less than 14 units...

Godlike powers of prophecy. That or we're just lying.

Never ever ever ever ever ever, dear lord.

* If this thread is for real you'd have to be the dumbest really-really-smart kid I've ever come across.

... When certain friends go to the gym, lean against a machine, drink some Gatorade, muck around with their iPod for a bit and then come and meet me an hour later and proceed to tell me about the "epic hard workout" they've just done. While eating a friggin Quarterpounder meal they picked up...

Nice questionnaire.

That's one of my favs :). Dinner party ep is also fantastic.

Procrastinating out of 4000 words but otoh there appears be a blind crazy man and the worst clown in the world on ABC so at least I'll be entertained while I'm avoiding work. Fuck professors who set badly worded essay questions. ... and now a troop of chavvy dwarves/midgets??

Obviously, and that's totally fine. The real problem is when these threads get lost in the swirling morass of "oh hey, so I've never bothered to use an ATAR calculator and I have no idea what aligning is but could you give me an ATAR estimate out of 100 please, kthx. Oh btw, I go to a bad...

You don't need to predict it yourself. All you need to do is work out approximately what HSC mark you will get for each of your subjects and then put that into SAM/JUAI/UMAX. They may not be completely accurate but no one on this board, no matter their rep status or post count, has some special...

Not sure that we're "supposed to", but a lot of us do it anyway, yeah. Idk though, I think that your interests would be better served by creating a thread saying "How can I learn more about aligning/moderating/scaling and thus predict my own ATAR?" (or better yet searching the forums yourself)...

I stressed a lot. Like, a LOT. But if you don't channel that stress into motivation then it's a completely useless emotion. I really wish I'd given myself a break, especially around this time last year. Everyone will feel the pressure come October, that's just to be expected. In May, though, you...

Lol our Foundations instructor gave us a big spiel about it ... we were advised to stick with the LLB if we're given a choice to rebadge our degree in 2012.

Like of_the says, integrate interpretation, textual features and context. Structure your paragraphs according to arguments.

ffs, the answer to every ATAR estimate thread is "check SAM and then get back to work".

Words belong in English class. Every time I had to write the end of an induction Q in Maths I cursed the waste of time. Dee why dee exx for me.
