SAM 2005 - when? (2 Viewers)

[goan_crazy]

i guess the extra fgeature might be the....i have no idea. but i'm sure with laz's IT skills, SAM will be honed to almost perfection. i use almost because nothing is perfect

true true...
thats rite
nothin is perfect

Lazarus, if you're reading this:
Any hint whatsoever as to how you're going to make it better???

 

[Lazarus]

I wouldn't want to spoil any surprises.

But if all goes well, it should be consistently more accurate. It should also incorporate various other modellers we've been testing.

The real plan involves the provision of an entirely new service that takes a completely different approach to that taken by SAM.

Sounds brilliant.

wow this sounds great!

 

[wrong_turn]

would this be anything to do with schools or ranks in subjects. because this too can affect one's uai as well. other mingling factors might be the estimated rise or fall of a subject in that candiature. you might have some inside info from board.

SAM 2005 probably won't be available until March.

It might be able to do a little bit more though.

lol, now you have a deadline to work towards or many people will be disappointed

should have just said autumn or something.

 

[~ ReNcH ~]

I think what jm said is very true.
Now everyone's going to be hounding you to publish it on BoS

* Then again, I was the one who asked in the first place

Maybe, but unlike in the case of, say, people who say their movie or computer game will be out on a certain date, Lazarus doesn't really have to honour his date - it's free and it's a gift. He could just as well tell us all to go stick our heads down the 'loo.

Very true...but then there are almsot 50000 BoSers who would hunt him down and...well, let's not go that far

 

[Slidey]

On that note, I read somewhere that 35,000 people used SAM in 2004. Was that UNIQUE people? Because I for one used it about 100 times.

 

[Lazarus]

Yes, unique - in terms of actual usage, by October over 500 000 UAIs had been calculated using SAM.

My guess? Probably SAM will be able to give raw HSC marks from given Aligned HSC marks! lol! (If that's not the case, then there's a challenge [or idea] for you)

if that happens i will be surprised, and it will prove laz has internal connections with the UAC and BOS, lol

 

[Jago]

Yes, unique - in terms of actual usage, by October over 500 000 UAIs had been calculated using SAM.

i used at least 30-40 of those calculations.

Update: 33-43

 

[wrong_turn]

watch out. the board of studies is watching. they might hire a contract killer to come after you. 'he knows too much'

That's what I was thinking too...it'd be great if Laz could infiltrate BOS and get us the raw band cut-offs

 

[withoutaface]

Haha I think the only way we'll get those are from FOI requests by individual students...

Well if all students On or near a cusp submit, maybe we can!

 

[Xayma]

They don't need to be near it.

An aligned mark of 95 is just as good as 90 for purposes of finding cutoffs. As between the bands it is a linear transformation.
