Somthing interesting for Laz.. (1 Viewer)

[Spike]

okay i was playing around with Ozseek and Lazseeker...

and i can tell u there is a considerable differnce in the estimates..


my subjects are


Eco
Business ST
Gen Maths
IPT
Adv English


When i put 60.. Lazseek 40.80 Ozseek 59.65

When i put them all as 70 for Lazk i got 58.35 while with Ozseek i got 69.85

while if i have 80 for all the subjects.. Ozseek is 81.45
where as your lazseeker gives me 84.50


I just found this interesting... u might already know this... i jsut wanna know your thoughts on it???

I am too scared to even do this estimate uai stuff.. i think i might await for the actual one. I am not looking for it! uai's are evil!
considering, if u won't a hsc student, u can get into uni heaps easy- without the fus of uai. it's only cos of the amount of students doing hsc and applying that stuff gets so hard to get into!

 

[Spike]

lol i am a really stats orintated person...

i love estimators and stuff ...

i wish i spent more time studying the estimating though ehheeh

 

[iptteacherssuck]

ozseek is not free....grrr....


hey can u send me ozseek ?

 

[phunky]

I am scared for my life about uai. spent all yr thinking i am smart but talked all yr in calss... now i regret it eh!

 

[Spike]

its not a program u download..
its like a online thing... sorry dude..

 

[Spike]

ditto

i know now iam not getting the UAI iam capable off... but ohh well such is life

 

[iptteacherssuck]

can i borrow your password ??

 

[Spike]

u have to do identical subjects to me..

it only brings up the subjectsu do..

 

[Lazarus]

Yep they provide very different estimates.

(data moved to a PM because it was too long)

Nice to see someone else who can enjoy the intricacies of statistics!

 

[iptteacherssuck]

how much did u pay for it?

 

[Lazarus]

Oh, as a sidenote, Spike - Ozseek uses percentiles, not marks, so if you want to compare it accurately with LazSeeker, you have to use the advanced version.

 

[Spike]

iam sure it uses marks...

it says... eaither go by rank or mark...

?

 

[Lazarus]

Either go by rank or by mark?

Is the word 'mark' actually used anywhere?

From what I can see, they have "Percentile Band" written next to the drop-down boxes where you choose a number, and you can't actually enter marks in anywhere...

 

[Spike]

ohh crap i just looked back in there... yep your right my appologies...


teaches me not to mess with god..

 

[Lazarus]

lol. Email me if you're interested in following it up.
