hi i go to south sydney high public school
was wondering if i can have a uai prediction if ud be so kind
these are my trial marks

english advanced 77% 6/58

economics 77% 4/15


business studies 75% 4/18

sdd 60% 2/9

mathematics 2 unit advanced 60% 10/42
two questions.

1) can i get a uai over 80

2) which subjects do i need to nail

thank you for the advice,
peace

 

[ronaldo]

what mark do u reckon il need in sdd and maths to get the uai of 80

 

[deyveed]

Increase each by at least 15?

 

[Ragerunner]

Yeah i'd say about the 70's as well.

Gee, that was a messy post

Guys's you got to read the sticky

 

[deyveed]

What do you mean this post was messy?

 

[Ragerunner]

Harder to read,

Maybe it's just me.

Hmm.. Your nickname sounds like my name

u know the marks u get for the hsc, do u get bak ur raw test marks or the scaled marks. and can u tell me which of my subjects are scaled up and down, and by how much,
thanks guys

 

[Ragerunner]

When your get back your HSC exam marks you receive the:

<li> Aligned HSC exam mark

You do not receive your raw or scaled marks.

Read this for information on scaling.

[deyveed]

Actually...you can't tell how much you get scaled because its different for the percentile you are in. However, you can get a average (mean) of the scaling you would receive in subjects in the link Ragerunner put up.

 

[Ragerunner]

And that it changes year to year. But looking at the following trends it doens't change that dramatically.

 

[ronaldo]

how do school assessment marks affect the uai
this is what ive been told, the hsc is 50% of the uai mark, then the school assessments are 50% of the uai, then added together that makes my uai mark, is this correct, please correct me if im wrong, one more question if i got 80 in the hsc for eng adv eco and bus studies and only 70 for sdd and maths , do u reckon that will get me a uai of 80 roughly

 

[Ragerunner]

The HSC consists of 2 parts,

<li> School assessments
<li> HSC exam

A HSC mark is calculated which is the average of the 2.

There is no UAI mark.

You'd probably get around the borderline 80 or fall short by a little with those marks.

 

[deyveed]

50% of the moderated school assessment mark and 50% of the HSC exam contribute in the calculation of your UAI.
There is a process of moderating your school assessment marks and scaling of your HSC mark to determine your UAI.
(Raw exam mark + Moderated assessment mark = HSC mark)

Yeah...I think those changes in your marks would probably get you into the 80s.

 

[ronaldo]

jus askin, do heaps off ppl like do poorly in their trials and then nail the hsc real hard and get good results, any examples would be appreciated.

thank you

 

[deyveed]

Hmm...I think it is typical for most people to do better in the HSC exam than in their trials because trials were set especially hard. There is mention of a small number of people who do really well in the HSC exam and thus have a large gap between their assessment mark and exam mark but generally most people do around 10%-20% better i think.

 

[Ragerunner]

Another reason they do better is because you have a 1 month break before the exam wheras the trials most people had it the day after school.
