hi when i was doing my scaling i was looking at 3yrs ago i was wondering how come it goes down the mark and why not higher. Or does it depend on how well that year does

like if i got all 70's my uai would be in the 50's but like 80's i would get a uai of like mid 80's

i want to know like why does it change lower every year, why does the marks go LOWER

you will get a proper explanation from someone else but maybe people are generally doing better in their subjects?

I have no idea what you are on about...

Do you mean when inputting the same marks will result in a different UAI every year? i.e. all 70's = 60 UAI in 2001, but all 70's in 2002 = 65 UAI etc.... ?

Or, do you mean why is it that a small difference of 10 marks for every course can make such a big difference in UAI?



UAI is a ranking, it's typically that every year seems to get smarter, and hence they will attain higher marks. Thus, higher marks are required each year to attain the same UAI needed in the previous year.

A 10 mark difference in every course is actually a very big difference.

i get what Shamz is saying [i think]

when he types his marks into SAM his UAIs are getting lower as the years go on and he wants to know why not higher

also

when he puts marks that are in the 70s why is the UAI around 50 though when he puts marks in the 80s why is his UAI in the mid 80s

That's because 10 marks difference in every course is a LARGE difference. Think about it, altogether that's like 50 marks difference. That's why there is such a large difference between the UAI.
