and i type in 100 for each subject in SAM and click hmm..giveme my UAI NOW DAMNIT!

for me...everything counts towards the hsc mark except my ext1 and ext2 ENGLISH why is this the case..even though ext1 and ext2 english scale higher than most of the subjects there on the list???

SAM only gives you an estimate of what your UAI. Besides, if you get 100 for everything, then scaling doesn't matter at all - you're already getting the maximum possible marks (on a side note, aren't extensions marked out of 50?). In any case, when you get 100 for everything, SAM is probably just counting the subjects based on its own internal order. Or something like that. Doesn't really matter that much.

I'm not too sure if you can even get 100 for English.

SAM does not estimate your uai! it is merely to "estimate" your UAI if you've completed the HSC course in the previous years

but that didn't really answer the original question, maybe laz set a boundary where you can only input certain conditions

 

[Dreamerish*~]

You haven't even started your HSC course.

Patience, child.

As insert-username said, SAM is only an estimate of what UAI you'll get, try putting in marks that you think you will get, then that'll probably show if EE1 or EE2 will count. Try using JUAI

for extension 2 u can...

 

[Templar]

for extension 2 u can...

That's the point, 100 in ext 2 might scale well, but 100 in English might be impossible.

It's possible to get 100 in all of the courses listed above, and it has happened in the past.

for me...everything counts towards the hsc mark except my ext1 and ext2 ENGLISH why is this the case..even though ext1 and ext2 english scale higher than most of the subjects there on the list???

Your scaled mark in every unit will be the maximum possible - which, for your courses, is 50 out of 50 = 100%.

It therefore doesn't matter which courses will contribute instead of others, because they'll all be contributing the same amount. SAM just makes an arbitrary selection.

Normally, you'd have different scaled marks in each course, and SAM would take the courses with the higher scaled marks first.
