Get a UAI without going to school!

[psychopath]

When looking for alternative methods of getting a UAI I found something which I just had to share. It's called self-tuition. You don't have to do anything other than the HSC exam. The only catch is that the available subjects seem to be limited, although I'm not too sure about this.

I know this is all true for NSW but I'm not sure about other states.

Quote:Self-tuition students are those who undertake Higher School Certificate courses without having:

• attended a school/TAFE institute in year of Higher School Certificate examinations or after 30th June of
that year
• having completed an internal component at a school/TAFE institute
• achieved preliminary qualifications for chosen subjects prior to Higher School Certificate examinations

Self-tuition students sit the Higher School Certificate examinations with the marks achieved in the examinations being listed as their overall subject mark. These marks are used for the calculation of the UAI.

e.g. if a student achieved 93 in the Higher School Certificate Geography exam as a self-tuition student, their final Geography mark would be 93 and would be used in calculating their UAI.
if a student sat the Higher School Certificate at a school and achieved 93 in the Geography exam and 85 as their school assessment mark, their final Geography mark would be moderated and used to calculate their UAI.

n.b. an internal school assessment mark is not required in achieving a UAI as a self-tuition student. Available subjects are open to all students of self-tuition.

Self-tuition students need to be aware of the following information

• New South Wales students not attending a government school, a school accredited by the Board, a TAFE institute or a school outside NSW recognised by the Board, may study Higher School Certificate courses by self-tuition.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition may study an unlimited number of units. They are not eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate or Record of Achievement but are eligible for a Higher School Certificate Result Notice. Their results may be used for the calculation of the UAI.
• Each candidate studying by self-tuition must complete an entry form correctly and ensure it is returned to the Board of Studies by 30 June. Changes to entries must be advised by letter, and addressed to Student Records at the Board of Studies.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition are personally responsible for obtaining copies of the syllabus, support materials, texts and other references relevant to their chosen studies.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition do not have to complete HSC assessment tasks and their Result Notice will record only their examination mark(s).
• It is the responsibility of candidates studying by self-tuition to ensure that they access an HSC examination timetable. These may be obtained from the Office of the Board of Studies. No allowance will be made for candidates who do not attend an examination session because they have misread the timetable.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition cannot submit an illness/misadventure/appeal.
• Approval of applications is also subject to the availability of Board approved security provisions for the conduct of examinations and the student’s ability to comply with requirements for the conduct of examinations.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition are subject to the instructions of the Board’s supervisors and school authorities at their examination centres.
• Copies of the list of equipment for examinations will be posted to each candidate.
• Candidates studying by self-tuition and presenting for HSC courses must have been resident in Australia for at least 17 months prior to 30th June of HSC year, unless otherwise approved by the Board.

UAI Union Académique Internationale
UAI United Against Injustice (UK)
UAI Universal Armament Interface
UAI University Admissions Index (NSW/ACT, index needed by HS Graduating students in order to enter university)
UAI Unprotected Anal Intercourse
UAI Use As Is

I'm guessing University Admissions Index, as anal sex does not seem to be the topic.

[psychopath]

It's basically the reason why we go to school.

Erm, W.T. Snacks got it its a University Admission Index and its used by universities to accept you.

I was so excited when I found this but then I realised it doesn't include two of my subjects
