Question About SAM (1 Viewer)

[kevda1st]

For the UAI calculator how come it only accounts for only 5 of the topics i chosen?
I did English(standard), Chemistry,Mathematics,Mathematics Extension 1, Mathematics Extension 2 and Biology.
But on the pie chart it dosnt display contributinos from Mathematics Extension 2??

UAI calculations only include your best 10 units, i'm assuming that MX2 is your worst subject, it's not on the graph since it's not going to count.

[kevda1st]

but why wouldn't it count, when i ONLY GOT 10 units??

 

[kevinx2]

Lol sorry i don't know. It's probably something to do with you doing 4U Maths? MX2 = 2units? Sorry not down the maths stuff.

Anyone else help?

It doesnt take mathematics and ext 2 math. It will only count one of the results as when you do ext 2 maths you get an assumed 100 in mathematics. This is why ext 2 and ext 1 count for 2 units and scale so well when your doing ext 2.

oh...so for SAM if u do EXT2 u dont have to pick 2U as ur subject?
Ive been putting 2U under a 100 because i was doing EXT2....

i think you leave 2u off. and put 3u and 4u out of 100. it shouldn't allow you to enter a 2u mark if you have 4u.

It should (but it probably wont) figure out whether ur best with Ext 2 and Ext 1 counting as 2 Units each or Adv maths counting as 2 and Ext 1 counting as 1.

Tommykins im pretty sure that is the case that is why they are 2 units each.

and you were pretty sure the 2nd external mark becomes the 2nd internal mark.

you simply don't get a 2unit mark, your 3unit+4unit marks are doubled to be worth 2units each.

normally 3unit is /50 but if you do 4unit, it becomes /100.

 

[friction]

But why is it doubled why is it not like english where you sit all 3 ??

i don't know why we don't sit all 3 for 4unit. ask the board of studies.

I think what i said is why. We have an assumed 100 in 2U. Thats what i was told anyway.

 

[tommykins]

lol, you don't get assumed 100, i'm sure ALOT of 4unit kids wouldn't get 100 if they did 2unit.

i wouldnt.

exactly. all they say is something like "if this student sat the 2u exam, it is likely they would get a band 6" and that is all.
