i screwed up ext maths and physics so bad cause i was sick :(
usually i come out of ext maths exams feeling ok or good, even if it was a really hard exam...but that one i came out of feeling soooo bad.
definitely not looking forward to how far i've dropped in ext maths.
ah well, nothing we can do now i suppose.

...SAM isn't reliable until you know your HSC marks on Wednesday. And even then it won't always be reliable as it's based on 2005 data. So I don't use it, it just gets my hopes up.
Also, without taking rankings into consideration your UAI estimate becomes even less reliable.
Don't stuff around with UAI calculators now. They'll either depress you or get your hopes up way too much.
if you know how to derive your hsc mark from your school rank/past years data, it's reasonably accurate. if you use it on wednesday after ur marks are out, they are usually very accurate. if you average out SAM results using 2005, 2006 as well as 2007 data, chances are u can't go wrong.

that said it still is useless - it just makes u breathe a little easier on thursday ;)

I'm just gonna try and not think about results for at least tomorrow... otherwise I'll freaking go crazy until Wednesday 6am. I'll probably join you guys around 4 or 5am on Wednesday. Gonna *TRY* and sleep before then...

Yep, join the party, it'll be fun ;) ha.

*note: fun serves as a euphemism for 'intense stressfest'

I am a literacy-humanities freak and baulk at anything remotely mathsy or involving numerical logic.
So I have no idea how to do any of the things you mentioned, hahah :p
Einstein is enough for me- can't be effed with SAM really. At this stage even Einstein is unreliable. I think I'll wait until after Wednesday to do another estimate
