I'm currently in yr11 and had my first exams for the year (which i failed), my yearly exams are in a few weeks. If I manage to just pass the prelim course will I still be able to make up for itn yr12 to get a UAI of 80+ If I try hard enough? Because I underestimated yr11 and now its come back and hit me hard. (Yes I'm learning it the hard way and I know it now)

Also does any prelim course marks count towards your HSC or UAI

Thanks

First question, yes, you can easily make up your marks and get the UAI you are aiming for if you work hard enough in year 12.

Second question, absolutely no preliminary marks go towards your final HSC mark or to your UAI, so you start off with a clean slate for year 12.

Er livefast where'd you get your information from? Soulsearcher is right but the preliminary course is an indication of your standard and what your capable of. However, year 12 is a clean slate and you have to put the effort in to get what you want (ie. slog your ass of)

In some schools the final preliminary assessment for 2 and 3u maths may be worth up to 15% of your HSC assessment, though most teachers choose not to do this. All other preliminary subjects will have no impact on the UAI however they do create a foundation for further study in the HSC.

Your prelim marks don't go towards you HSC, so you're okay in that department, but if you don't pick up your game really soon, you're probably stuffed. Sorry to sound harsh, but it's true.
I would advise you start studying now! The marks may not go towards the HSC, but you still need to know the work.

Don't give up now! I'm sure you can still get you 80+ UAI if you work really hard. Good luck!

Mate, and I use the term loosely here, people actually come on here looking for help. Don't give them bullshit answers, and don't try to be a smart ass and make everything a joke, because these people are genuinely looking for help, and will not tolerate bullshit.

Don't try and justify incorrect advice.

Here's a new word to add to your vocab, soulsearcher:

Joke: a triviality not to be taken seriously

You learn something new everyday =)

I was told that it was easy to get over 80+ UAI, and that it's a lot harder if you're aiming for an UAI of 95+.. is that true?
