Theoretically, average marks would achieve an average UAI, which would be around 66.

"to achieve a middle UAI, in the 60s, students will need HSC
marks in the mid to high 70s"

Harder subjects don't mean they scale better :p

But with good scaling subjects i presume that the uai will of course be a little higher

It's because the people doing general maths are those that as bright as the people doing extension 2.

But i understand, it does feel like harder subjects scale better.

oh yeah i sorta c what u mean

if all the smart people did std then it would scale well? coz they look at how people int he courses did in all their other subjects?

so on that note, i do think it could be said that harder courses scale better
