I want reassessment, get my bonuses right and get the scaling correctly due to i do all hard subjects such as maths and all sciences. My average mark is 61.4% and my UAI should be 67.55

Did you try using SAM? And note that bonus points are not added to the UAI, it is considered separately by individual universities.

No they aren't. Its in range between 54 to 68%.
yeah see other threads on scaling. the state mean for most subjects are around 70+ so getting a mark of below that would place you in the bottom half of the cohort.

regarding bonus ranks (such as at UQ) you will get the 'extra uais' when unis consider your application, but not added onto your existing uai, so no need to worry about that

But UAC is always about Sydney students. It has not been shared to the regional areas in the state. I think we need two systems.

as they say 'Haters are gna Hate'

this isn't your first complaint about the system in these forums.

Dude, the system is fair, and has stood the test of time, just because you may not have performed as well as you expected...

Read again and get this fact right. NSW have to much stupidity against discrimination of lowest UAI outside of Sydney. It is NOT fair. WE need seperate systems!

You shouldn't rely on scaling for a good UAI... If you did well in those highly scaled subjects then you would've gotten a good UAI. Evidently you did not.

What level Maths did you do? I hope you don't consider that General Maths is hard!

You did all sciences? Well for starters, not all sciences scale well. Infact some like Senior Science and Biology scale down IIRC.
