Hi peoples, after screwing up my 1st English assessment task worth 25%, I'm pretty damn worried...

OK, so I calculated that if my remaining assessments IF I get 100% in all, my max mark for eng is 93.33%...........but realistically, the max I can acheive is probably 80% MAX......am I save-able?

Anyways, I ALWAYS wondered this and asked MANY and no-one has ever answered it

If a subject is "scaled down" e.g. general maths, does that mean that even if you get 99% in that subject, your UAI will still scale down?

I'm currently doing Visual Arts and it's the only subject in which I am really doing great, but I realised it's "scaled down"....so I wondering, if I do get 100% I still get scaled down, then why bother?????????

Thoughts??? Thanks

Your mark isnt as important as your rank
even if u get 70% overall but get like yop 10 out of 100 then thats still really good
jus aim for a really good rank and you should be fine
remember its the rank that counts not your mark
even if u get 99% in general ull just get scaled down a little bit but gettin 80% in general is better than 60% in advanced maths
look just do subjects u enjoy instead of the scaling process
ull actually perform better like u said doing subjects u enjoy most
