does only having general maths and standard english weaken your UAI (1 Viewer)

does only having general maths and standard english weaken your UAI?
if so what is the maximum score you can acheive?

 

[foram]

General Math scaled down heaps. The max scaled mark is around 90.
Standard english is hard to get band 6's in, and band 5's get scaled down significantly. But it shouldn't matter unless those 30ish marks are important to you. It's still very possible to get a UAI in the high 90's, but 99+ is going to be basicly impossible for you to get with those subjects.

do well at these subjects and u can get a very decent uai

Place great emphasis on the word decent. It is going to be very hard to crack into the 90s with those subjects but I assume if you're doing those subjects, then realistically you don't have much of a chance regardless.

No offence.

 

[lyounamu]

99+ is possible for most of the subject combination.

I have previously seen who got 97+ UAI with the combination of English (Standard) and General Mathematics.

 

[m.dematos]

however i also do ancient history, legal studies, business studies, history extension and biology and top of my class in most of them??

 

[jirwin]

I got 87.50 last year with standard eng and general maths.

 

[studentcheese]

Yeah, you'll have to work really hard to make sure the scaling wont affect your results.

According to the UAC website, a student achieved 99.85 with Standard English. Another student achieved 99.90 with General Maths. Furthermore, a student studying Ancient History acquired a UAI of 100.

It is possible.

 

[Timothy.Siu]

yeah of course its possible, just like its possible for anyone to get 100, someones done it so its possible. but that doesn't say much.

 

[EnesUnal1991]

the maximum score achievable is 100 but it depends on your effort all this standard and general talk is rubish and scaling depends on the state! if you get over the average then it scales up! dont worry about all the technical stuff just wait till it comes.

I don't mean to be rude, but to be quite honest, why would someone doing both Standard English and General Maths be planning on going to University, let alone achieving a very high UAI? If they can't cope with the higher level subjects at this stage, maybe TAFE would be a better option...

lol, that was rude

 

[Timothy.Siu]

lol, that was rude

but she didn't mean to be, lol

Everyone is free to choose whatever they want. For your information, many people who have undertaken those subjects got 95+ UAI. I reckon it is wise to get good marks in those subjects than some shitty marks in high scaling subjects like 3 unit maths. It's not really your position to say whether they deserve to be in TAFE or not.

Some of them would actually beat your future UAI, you know. In that case, why not consider yourself a nice little position at TAFE?

They could be good at other subjects

majority of uni cource do not rely on having an intricate knowledge of maths and english and are not primarily based around them either...

agree!

The girl who came second in Eng Std has consistently placed first or second in our cohort (pharmacy) since first year. Now what does that say?

 

[m.dematos]

that was rude. im going to try and get a good uai anyway

 

[u-borat]

yeah good luck, you can do well no matter what subjects you're doing.

I know that Korean girl from the Brigidine.
