Maths Ext. 2 Boosing UAI (1 Viewer)

[mudcake42]

Now i know that it scales well. but how much does it affect ur UAI?

Lets say if I did

3 unit maths , chemistry, biology, business studies, advanced english, IPT

and got a UAI of 90.

Then I did

4 unit maths, Chemistry, Biology, Advanced English, IPT

and did...like...average to well in 4 unit,

what would my UAI be then?

thanks guys

EDIT:
btw ... just meant boosting...damnit stupid keyboard. ok, i admit, its my typing

depends what you define as average to well. 4u scales massively

 

[jemsta]

yeah thats if you do really well though (anything above band 5, then youre in for a high scaling)
have a play around with SAM or juai and youll get the idea of the UAI you expected to get when you plug in your average 4 unit marks along with marks of your other subjects
however, dont go maths ext 2 just for the scaling...chances are youll drop it if youre really struggling

 

[KFunk]

Your UAI would probably increase by a factor of e^i.pi

lol

Threadstarter: Depends what marks you get, just play around with SAM

it scales like crazy.
i know a friend who got 72 as a raw mark , and it got scaled to 93 as the final mark. CRAZY !

does ext 1 scale as well as ext 2?

 

[Bank$]

EXT1 does scale well but not like EXT2 which is like the 2nd highest slacing subjuct

 

[S1M0]

EXT1 does scale well but not like EXT2 which is like the 2nd highest slacing subjuct

With the highest being Ext 2 English, right?

 

[jemsta]

i remember reading a thread which had the subjects on a list from highest scaled to lowest scaled.
unfortunately it wasnt english ext 2 that was the highest scaling subject.....it was one of the languages, which to my memory was latvian continuers or something like that
both maths ext 1 and maths ext 2 both ranked highly though

 

[pharmaceutical]

anyone got a link that shows the scaling of subjects from highest to lowest?

 

[Forbidden.]

this old thread of mine gives a very simplistic understanding of the scaling ... even though it changes every year

http://community.boredofstudies.org/110/uai-hsc-marks-guidance-counsel/119260/uai-scaling.html

NOTE: only subjects with more than 5000 students are included, so no languages in particular

 

[TesseracT22]

what does it mean exactly by +4 etc, is that 4 more marks to your HSC mark for the subject? or 4 more marks to your HSC exam mark

i tried on sam. it looks like eng ad. scales more than 4 unit :S

Maybe it was Classical Greek Extension

 

[jemsta]

yeah maybe...my memory is failing me at the moment.
couldnt find it anywhere in the technical arcana, so i assumed they deleted it

I wouldn't take much notice of those numbers.

has anyone actually read the UAC pdf files on hsc marks and scaling?

i've looked through it and here's what i've gathered:

from your hsc marks, the only subject that scales up is maths ext2.

maths ext1 stays pretty much unchanged, though it tends to scale up a little at higher regions.

everything else scales down, bar none (the whole classical greek/latin is seemingly a rumour). this explains why for sam gives scaled down agregates for subjects such as ext2 english.

I think this is what jemsta was talking about:

Even though it is from 2003 Latvian Continuers seems to be the highest.

and oh its meant to be taken as a guide, so youll know whats going on
