haha. yea, it's Baulko. But we still have a few stragglers who I thought would get lower than that, and usually do in internal exams.

It's funny. Our school's LOWEST English mark was 84, and I was thinking maybe there was an error there. Perhaps they swapped half of ours with half of yours lol!

Yea I know, but: obviously they decide who is eligible for a UAI in the first place

Right. We clear? Everyone understands? Jolly.

hmm.. which raises the question: When does the BoS believe a course to be "satisfactorily complete"?

It's under Elite Performers Scheme. It doesn't add 5 points to your UAI, it just means you can get into most courses that are 5 points above what you got. The idea behind it is that if you weren't gallavanting around representing the nation, that you would have had more time to study, and got...

haha true. I think they are just referring to the school mark, and the hsc mark that showed on the results page. I got 79 internal for Modern History, and 93 external, but thats because I made a MASSIVE mistake in my trials. Thats a difference of 14. I'm glad I did well in the exam, because...

Haha. I just read this in the paper! I was pissed off cos I go to Baulko, and we usually top English, but I saw we came third and freaked out. Then I realised the school above us only had TWO people! I mean, good on that ONE person who got above 90, but seriously!

SAM: 93.95 UAI: 94.55 Plus Sydney Uni feels like giving me an extra 5 points if I go there, so I'll just say I got 99.55!
