SAM works on aligned marks, not raw marks. So the mark of 40 that you are putting in would probably only require approximately 20% to get. It would depend on the difficulty of the test, but 40% would perhaps get you about 70-80, but you can never be certain.

That probably just means that an aligned mark of 80 in Modern History is much easier to get (ie more people as a percentage are given an aligned mark of more than 80). A low percentage of people may be given bands 5 and 6 in business and PE. Modern still scales a fair bit better though. EDIT...

So about 40 people per .05? I think the fact that not 40% of students get over 60 is caused by the fact that not everyone gets a UAI.

Re: Public School vs. Private I think a study was done and they found that private schools tended to do better but that public school students caught up and in some cases did better when they reached uni. Also - perhaps the top ranking schools are private due to the students coming from a...

Yeah - for part 1 (good practice :p) (2n+2)Cn/(2n-2)Cn = [(2n + 2)!/n!(n + 2)!]/[(2n - 2)!/n!(n - 2)!] = [(2n + 2)!(n - 2)!]/[(2n - 2)!(n + 2)!] = [(2n + 2)(2n + 1)2n(2n - 1)]/(n - 1)n(n + 1)(n + 2) 4(2n + 1)(2n - 1)/(n - 1)(n + 2) = 99/7 28(4n2 - 1) = 99(n2 + n - 2) 112n2 - 28 = 99n2...

Probably about 90 - although it's hard to tell - small school.

80s is certainly possible if you work hard - 88 might be a bit difficult.

Are you claiming that the money was never sent?

Manly - selective school on northern beaches.

90.5 There's a reason why you don't put your trial marks in :p

Yeah - with those ranks you'd be looking at something in the 80s, even though you don't do the best scaling subjects - your Physics and English results look good. If you can bring Maths and Business Studies up you could get into the high 80s.

Well I would have thought 8C5, because you are choosing 5 from the remaining 8 (having already removed A and included B). But that's certainly not 140 so i'm not sure where we've gone wrong. The only way i can see you getting 140 is 8C4 * 2 = 140 but i'm not sure why that would be the...

For Physics - i got 92 and I wouldn't have got more than about 85%.

Haha agree - considered doing cosmology next year?

There are plenty of possible explanations eg the abundance of oxygen reached the required limit, the snowball earth theory - it's just we don't know which one is accurate yet. Also, this "blink of an eye" is in fact 50 million years, and it has been argued (see the wikipedia article) "that the...

Assuming you have 11 or more units and 2U English is the worst Just a note - internal mark means nothing - it is only the rank that is important. They aren't actually supposed to tell you the mark.

I think the dux at most public non-selective schools in my area tends to be approximately 96-98 UAI - so definitely possible to get over 95 at any school. Yeah, but isn't your school above most selective schools? Like 10th or something? I'm sure you'll get that high if your ranks are top 10-15%.

Bookie shall win. Because he is Jesus lolololol.

Doesn't that contradict several bible verses eg John 3:18 "whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." John 14:6: "Jesus answered: 'No one comes to the Father except through me'"

HIs profile also says he's 31 years old.
