HSC Performance Band Descriptors (1 Viewer)

[Lazarus]

The percentages of students achieving in each band are now available:

They appear to be similar to those from previous years.

So does that mean UAI scaling will be similar to previous years and thus, SAM is pretty much accurate?

 

[Ziff]

Legal, Modern, 4u Eng and ExtHist all have less % in top bands than previous years. Will this cause an effect, a positive one, if you're in top bands?

i jst looked at them, i dont feel like i was far enuf above average in many of them, especially ext eng and even art. does that mean my UAI is prob bout 60? i got all 80's in my results, but in the SAM thingy i got 88.05 as my prediction....

 

[persephone]

what do these percentages and stuff mean for us and our uai?

It will mean any predictions will be lower than they should be, yes.

But only if you're in that situation.

Okay Laz. I got a question mate. Say i got 99.65 predicted by sam for last years results, and my subjects are all three sciences, aths x1 and x2, and eng adv. and looking at the perfomance band descriptors, the people who got band 6 are less than that for this year, like say non average,by 3-4%. How much do you think my UAI will suffer as a result?

Drastic decrease in student % in top two bands of Studies of Religion 1

that list gave me happy thoughts but a doomsday for the most important one for me

Music Extension.

I got 40/50... not bad.

BUT

Band E4 (55.12%)
Band E3 (35.73%)

Since mine is a low band 3...........

Did I get 40/50 and in the top say... 90%?

although i did maths ext 1 and ext 2........i still worried about uai

 

[shinchan]

danm, theres alot more ppl got in band 5 and 6 for adv english:
2003: 41.2% (6.38% in band 6, 34.82% in band 5)
2004: 50.09% (7.56% in band 6, 42.53% in band 5)

goodness, i only got 83 for adv eng.... i reckon dat have dropped me from being top 25% to somewhere around top 33%

i reckon it wipped a whole uai point from be because of dat alone!!!

 

[yvonne_710]

when we can know the new uni cut-off? till we have our offers?? that will be sucks.............hope this year uni cut-off down..........

 

[Acid]

Mine ended up going up on the SAM prediction by 0.3. Probably because so few ppl got band 6 in business and economics....
