Re: NSW to dump UAI!

LOL actually maybe this is a chaser stunt

seems like something they would do

especially the whole 10 minute ago joining thread starter
and mayeb they somehow tapped into the websites & or redirected them or something?
OP joined in Oct '06
it was UACInfo that joined recently today :)

But it seems certain now since UAC and BoS have offical notices...

The fuck is this shit.
Don't worry, if you still haven't gotten it, then with your reading comprehension skills you won't be out of asterisk and this won't have any effect on you.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

I doubt it would be affective as of this year if it is true.
The article did say students sitting the HSC in 09 but it does seem a bit odd at the whole sudden-ness of it all.

Students who sit the HSC in 2009 and plan to enrol in university will have their admissions scores calculated under a new national scheme.

There u go.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Why would this be announced halfway through the HSC. Sounds like we're being trolled.
I hope so...

If not (Please excuse me for the language that follows)

Holy son of a mother fucking fucker!

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Hi guys

Yes, it's official.

The announcement concerning this change will be made tomorrow. It was inadvertently leaked by the media.

It's best if you just think of it as a name change.

There are a few extremely minor and technical alterations but they won't have practical consequences for anyone.

Check the UAC website tomorrow for the official announcement.

Damn...

It may be that they have just finalised it, and are trying to get the system up as soon as possible before the HSC. That would explain all the strange going-ons.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

So does this mean everything is going to remain the same except the fact that the name isn't UAI and that you can't get a perfect 100 any more?

pretty much
I think they're just trying to reiterate the point that 100UAI =/= perfect 100s across your subjects (i.e. 500ag)...

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

okay, i'm a bit confused by all of this...how did it leak and were they going to give us ANY warning at all before they just sprang it on us?

will it affect how everything is calculated??? i guess i'll be able to answer that myself from 5am tomorrow morning.:confused:
:confused:
