it's not always about ur UAI, i know how people always say u get more options if u get higher. but when u actually come down to it at the end of the day, all u really care about is if u get into the course u want at uni. aim for the course requirements, not 100 uai
qft nobody gives a fuck what uai you get once you are at uni

I kind of feel the same at the moment but I think it's better to aim high because you'll work harder and get better marks (even if it is disappointing if you don't always achieve what you want).

gosh people don't worry so much
you still have aaaaaages away till you finish and your HSC exams in themselves are worth 50%, so really you've done nothing so far
kind of annoying that little fact actually, well i found it annoying at this point last year
i got over 90, and that's even after burning out post trials and never ever wanting to study again, it's possible =D

people are expecting me to get 95+ but i really dont see myself getting near that. i know i could do well if i put the effort in but i really lack motivation.. at this rate ill be lucky to get in the 90's though i know ill be disappointed if i dont.
sounds like you're in the same situation as me...

Sorry mate but I agree with her.

Solid study will get you a 90+, mastering your content will lead to 95+. Getting to the 98+ requires some form of natural intelligence.

Solid study is hard, i dont believe 90 is easy.

Im sorry, but theres factors, like our schools ect.

At my school above 90 is considered amazing.

Same.
Of course if you study hard and don't slack off it would make it easier to achieve 90+, but actually making sure you do this is difficult for most people, so wouldn't that make achieving 90+ hard ?

More along the lines of tommykins, he's quite spot on.

I still disagree, I think with good study habits and the right motivation 90 would be easy.

But achieving good study habits and motivation are hard.

When you compete tooth-to-nail with the top guy/girl in class and you beat him/her when it's supposed to be the other way around it's quite entertaining. :D
