4U English query about SAM (1 Viewer)

[Dinger1987]

When I enter my marks for 4U English into SAM I only enter marks for 3U and 4U English because I was under the impression they only count your 3 and 4 unit marks yet Every time I do this SAM warns me I have less than 10 units. Can somebody please help?

You need to stick your Adv. ones in to, in English they count all four units.

 

[grk_styl]

for english: 2, 3, and 4 unit english units count
however,
for maths: only 3, and 4 unit maths units count
so that could be why u got confused

Your 2 u marks will count!!! Woah, I hope you were still trying in 2u and didn't throw that subject away or anything!

I really hate the fact that they do though!!! I mean, 4u just get their 3u and 4u marks doubled and they are scaled as 2units of 4u and 2 of 3u!!! Not fair!!

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I'm glad they didn't do it like maths because I did way better in 2u English!!!

 

[Will_Sparky]

Im doing better in 3u and 4u. I dislike Adv.

I'm doing 3U and 4U as well... The Advanced course seems infantile incomparision to the extension courses... But I suppose it's what you get out of it personally, and what sort of teacher and class group you have that vastly affects your interest in it.

I think that the text's could have been better chosen.

But then we're just the students! We don't get a say in what we are taught... or required to learn.

I've finally found respect for King Lear. (Maybe because respecting it is a better way to pass English Ad, than loathing it!)

What!? Since when does Adv. definitely count towards UAI, isn't it just your best 2 of Eng, then best 8 of the rest?

 

[Josie]

Yeah, but for the example stated they needed the Adv course to make up the required units, and so Adv does count. But yes, it is your 2 best of English and 8 of everything else.

 

[soiled_poncho]

But remember that 3U and 4U count as everything else, so they're not mutually exclusive with 2U.

 

[ameh]

what does mutually exclusive mean?

Yeah, same here. If respect for Lear helps me pass, he's got it!

It means they're independent factors... but... what? I'm so confused... all units are mutually exclusive, including the two units of Adv... like, the way I'm going I've got 1 unit of Eng Adv and 1 unit of EE1 counting and that's it for Eng... what are you saying? (directed at soiled_poncho, not amoz_lilo)

 

[Giant Lobster]

mutually independent you mean

mutually exclusive means either A or B can happen, not both ^^

Hehe yeah, I understand now yay. I like king lear now, my school is sort of dragging out the king lear topic, I would like to move on to FrontLine. ehh

 

[soiled_poncho]

OOps. I did indeed mean independent. I think my mind is broken.

 

[jhakka]

So does Advanced count no matter how well you do in Ext 1 and 2?
