I know this is probably what all of the threads in this frum are about, but...

I entered in fairly realistic marks and I was quite surprised with the UAI it came up with.
It said i would get a UAI of like 94 with marks in the 80's.
I didnt think that this would be right it seems too high to me
I was expecting with my marks like that i would only get a UAI of like 85.
I dont know
I would just like to know if this is right
I mean i would be stoked if i do get a UAI of that coz then i can get into the courses i want to, but i just mean is it accurate.
Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me...I put in fairly realistic marks around 85 to SAM, and my UAI was about 93 or 94. I'm not sure how accurate it is.
But then I checked the same marks but with earlier years, like 2002 & 2001, and my UAI was 1.5 marks higher. This makes me think that because the most recent year on SAM is 2003, to make your UAI a little more accurate, minus 1 from whatever UAI it gives you.
If I'm wrong, all the better...more marks!
I hope it helps
