Aggregate, Bands and UAI (2 Viewers)

Aggregate, Bands, Percentiles and UAI

Bands have nothing to do with UAI. These bands are shown on the record of achievement.

Your aggregate is the sum of scaled marks from the best 8 units and 2 units of English, where each unit is worth 50.

Maximum Aggregate is 500.

To get a UAI of 70, you need an aggregate of *about* 287
To get a UAI of 80, you need an aggregate of *about* 322
To get a UAI of 90, you need an aggregate of *about* 370
To get a UAI of 95, you need an aggregate of *about* 405
To get a UAI of 99, you need an aggregate of *about* 450
To get a UAI of 100, you need an aggregate of *about* 480

Although you don't get to see your scaled marks, it would be a good idea to purchase the UAISeeker and try around with marks and add up your aggregate.

If your state percentile in a certain subject is 80%, that means, 20% of the people in the state have gained better marks than you, and you have gained better marks than 80% of people in the state.

If your state percentile in a certain subject is 30%, that means, 70% of the people in the state have gained better marks than you, and you have gained better marks than 30% of people in the state.

If you do not understand how the scaled/aligned marks are achieved and what they do refer to this

Actually, I don't think you can get a UAI of 100 with a band 4 in maths.

Unless of course the subject doesn't count. I've tested with the UAISeeker a bit.

what do you mean by w/e subject?

 

[Jeo]

~ ok correct me if im wrong ~

band 4 = 70-80 scaled mark

so technically its possible... to get 100

 

[Jeo]

pin this up ragerunner, its quite amazing how many people have asked about this anyway, so if they have doubts, let them post on this thread.

With ... easy subjects?

Maybe... maybe not,

Easy subjects = Band 6 in all as long as the aggregate is 450+ gives you a UAI of 100?

That is unlikely, but it could happen?

I agree with 405+ for 95
and 450+ for 99 though.

/edit woohoo 2400 posts!
I'm out of here lol... (that was my goal for today)

 

[Ragerunner]

To get 100 UAI you need aggregate of about 473.

Try using UAISeeker reverse mode to test.

By saying you need band 4, I'm sure most people will be talking about Aligned mark, not scaled mark as you have said, because no one will ever know their scaled mark.

Using UAISeeker you still require an aligned mark of 92 which gets scaled down to 84 which still isn't even band 4 if you take account that you were talking about scaled marks.

 

[Jeo]

w/e = whatever

well, you see aggregate is sum of *scaled* marks.

so it doesn't matter what subject you do... the thing is, quality of course candidature decides how well you are scaled.

 

[Jeo]

hahaha thx

hope it helps

edit: huy has left the building

 

[Rahul]

how would you explain the difference between aligned and scaled marks? and what is 'added' up to get the aggregate, i am thinking the aligned marks...

 

[Ragerunner]

What is added up to get the aggregate is the scaled marks.

This is how I explain it.

hey, what if i get 65 in english adv. for the hsc what would happen to my uai....i rem. couple years ago in laz seeker u couldn't enter a mark below 72 for eng. adv.....why is this?

oh ok...very simple to interpret, thanks!

what involves in 'aligning' the hsc raw marks?

 

[Jeo]

a) no one got below a scaled mark of 72
b) laz was too lazy to make it calculate a mark below 72
c) laz thinks people that get less than 72 dont deserve a UAI
d) all of the above

so i pick one of the above right?

 

[Ragerunner]

I'm sure you will find this very inciteful Rahul.

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc/hsc_update_2002_06.html

It explains in detail how they determine how well a subject will align. Though you can't really make any conclusions by knowing this. It depends on the HSC exam.

thanks, i'll take a peek

by reading down, i think i figured out what u meant
u can't get a uai of 100??

actually don't bother wasting internet bandwith.

really? im slow. fill me in.

yeah your right iambored. Was a typo. Fixed.
