is there a uai to op converter? (1 Viewer)

[blackbunny]

u tell me


peace out

 

[Trev]

I would also like to know, what OP of 1-5 equates to in UAI?

 

[velox]

isn't OP1 equivalent to 99+? But ive heard qld system is really easy.

 

[Trev]

Really? - and they were saying that the NSW HSC is too easy....mmm.

 

[velox]

NSW and Vic's systems are much harder than the other states' systems

 

[blackbunny]

thanx for u r usless help

 

[velox]

How about u find it urself.

www.google.com.au

EDIT: OP6 is about the same as UAI 80. Got that after 20 seconds of googling.
OP14 = UAI 67

See page 3 of this document:

The "selection rank" index is the equivalent of the NSW UAI.

 

[Trev]

Ah, thanks Lazarus!

I'm lost. What's the OP?

 

[Trev]

Rench, OP is how the rank students that sit the QTAC (I thinik ), it's the Queensland version of the HSC so to speak.

Ah ic.
It sounds like a pretty broad way of ranking the students - OP1, OP2 etc. - the UAI is seems quite specific in comparison, with its rounding to the nearest 0.05.

Planning on coming to the University of Queensland with me, Trev?

Ah I don't know, I haven't really looked into it, I was just wanting to know for when I do bother to research info!

velox: OP6 is actually roughly 90. It is OP10 which is 80.

It is my understanding that if tertiary institutions need to differentiate between students with the same Overall Position (OP), they look to their Field Positions (FP) in relevant subjects - which are essentially their scaled marks.

I think it might actually be a better system. You can't really say with any certainty that someone with 95.55 is academically more able than someone with 95.50; grouping students together with OPs acknowledges this limitation.

 

[Slidey]

I certainly agree. I think our UAI/TER system often unfoundedly differentiates between students.

It's like measuring the length of an object to 10 decimal places with a ruler. That amount of 'accuracy' is actually useless.

But is the OP the only criterion for university entry? Or are FPs used as well? I'd be guessing the latter, in which case it does sound like a better system.

 

[Trev]

I would rather have us ranked by UAI than OP in my own opinion.

NSW universities aren't real fans of the OP system, my cousin got 2 and she still had hell time trying to get into sydney....
