Aggregate, Bands and UAI (1 Viewer)

It would appear so for 2002.

I used the 2003 projection as my source. A little difference.

well, how do they project for 2003?? isn't it wise to use 2002 data?

i think they average it out from 2002 and 2001

*about* ~ error margin of up to plus or minus ten

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

It's theoretically possible. But highly unlikely.

i rem. couple years ago in laz seeker u couldn't enter a mark below 72 for eng. adv.....why is this?

That's because marks below 72 (or whatever the figure was) would have placed you in the bottom 25% of the state. Statistics aren't released about students in that sphere, so it makes it very difficult to approximate scaled marks for them. I didn't bother coming up with a proper method for it until we wrote the UAISeeker.

As in plus/minus ten due to changing trends or mis-calculation using a calculator to add up the scaled marks?

hence the use of *technically*

as in changing exam difficulties and exam performances

so like i asked in the other thread, how much uai can i get if i get like 60 in eng adv.

i do 4u maths, physics, chemistry

He would say get UAISeeker

yeah, i will but i just wanted to know.

YEAH RIGHT YOU WILL!

Both. The scaled marks provided are only approximations.

hey, why u being so skeptical for??

whats the difference from buying it now or 30 days later.

yeah, no difference so thats why i'll buy it later...haven't decided as to how to pay etc.

 

[sugamama]

What if like someone gets mid-high band 6 in 8 units (4U maths, chem and phys) but gets high band 4/low band 5 for english? does that have a large impact on UAI?

 

[Jeo]

ummm, bands have nothing to do with UAI...talk in terms of scaled marks

 

[Jeo]

oops there is a difference, you pay the same thing, but you get less time to use it
