A few technical clarifications on those clarifications...

All students are included in the scaling procedures whether they want a UAI or not.A l said:-NOT ALL HSC students would want to receive a UAI (so not all students have their marks are scaled)
...
scaling only applies to students who wish to have a UAI and HSC students who do not wish to have a UAI would be disadvantaged.
Standard is not scaled lower than Advanced. They are scaled in exactly the same way. The fact that Standard has a lower scaled mean than Advanced is entirely because Standard students simply don't, on average, do as well as the Advanced students. This is to be expected.A l said:In accordance to the Board of Studies and the UAC, English Standard is scaled lower than Advanced since the scaled mean for Standard is slightly lower than the scaled mean of Advanced (which is usually 50.0).
Those figures do not correspond to the maximum possible UAIs that can be achieved. There are no UAI caps. The statistics only tell you what the top UAI was for a student taking that course in a particular year. A better student could have obtained a higher UAI.A l said:Also, the maximum UAI that can be achieved doing English Standard would be 99.95
