No it is not true.

They do not always get it.

But usually those who believe they have the ability to do 4U maths and perform well in it tend to do well in their other subjects as well and receive a UAI greater than 90 as a result.

You need to perform well in all subjects in order to attain a 90+ UAI.

Nope... only like 4 - 5 ppl out of 15 people i think got over 90 in their UAI... 4 unit maths gurantees nothing if u suck at it... sorry to be blunt, but true, if ur in it for scaling then too bad it wont scale good if ur gonna do crap in it.

well i can say that many who get 90+ uai, do 4u maths- but it is not necessary (infact ppl. get 100 uai without 4u maths, or even extension subjects!) :)

basically, if you do 4u, you have *some* intelligence. hence you will get decent uai [90+]. though it isnt directly related to getting a good uai. you have to work your ass off, no matter what. :)
