I'm interested to see the difference people are getting between their results using their marks compared to their percentiles to estimate their UAI...

For me:
Using marks- 94.65
Using percentage- 90.40

I KNOW I'm not getting the first estimate...and even the percentage estimate still seems a little high for my results, but I estimated my percentile as best I could think to... I'd be interested to see how far other peoples estimates dropped to get a better idea.

Yeah I agree. My marks result was 96.30, and my percentage was 93, however I redid it being very harsh (like docing 5 percentile for every subject), and got 91.50

I'm happy with all of em :)

I wonder just how accurate it is...

Don't use the normal version of LazSeeker with marks - the UAI it reports will be too high.

We think that the advanced version with percentiles should be a fairly good ballpark figure.

Lazseeker percentiles gave me a lower estimate than the actual UAI, marks into the adv. lazseeker gave me higher by a slightly smaller margin.

I think you could use lazseeker and put both in for a min-max range...

My Actual UAI was like right in the middle of my 2 estimates...lazseeker predicted 96.54, percentages 90.40, and my UAI was 92.00 .I was pretty harsh with my percentages though...

Harshness counteracts the false hope from the marks based UAI. THis is nothing to worry about as you can than take the average (much closer).
