Lazarus, can I ask you how hard it is to get a UAI of 90%??
First off, a UAI is not a percentage mark, as such. Instead it's a percentage rank. And 90% basically implies you beat 90% of the people who did the SC with you (which includes, of course, people who left after SC). As to how hard? How hard is it to beat 90% of the state? Some will say its a piece of cake, others will say its a struggle.
Ah, wait, I'm not Laz, I better stop here then.

can i ask you another question? I am still confused with Alligned mark (though i have read it in the descriptive part of Uai seeker guide)
is Alligned mark in a way 'scaled'??
I didn't mean to.
Let's put it this way, at many selective (and certain private) schools gettin' a UAI of 90 is easy. They're more on the wavelength of gettin' 95+ or at a few selective schools where they expect 98, 99+. On the other hand, the bulk of the state would consider a UAI of 90 very respectable. Just depends where you're from.

Pennant Hills. Generally, about 10% of Year 12 get above 90's, depending on the year. that means about 20ish students.
Let say
The person who performs and scored the alligned mark of
Physics (80)
Chemistry (80)
Maths (4u) (90)
ESL English (90)
will recieve the same UAI to the student who scored the allighned marks of
Physics (80)
Chemistry (80)
Maths (4U) (90)
English Advanced (90)
??

No because the English is different.
But because they both scored high the UAI's will be very similar but not exact.

Even if they both did the same English it's very likely they'll receive different UAIs because a reported mark of 80 could mean anything from 79.5 to 80.4, and you consider this for each and every subject, that's quite alot of difference. And also the Exam mark and Assessment mark work under these same conditions.

I doubt they use decimals.
The UAC uses the rounded raw marks.
Maybe not

That 0.05 could make or break you!
whats important from sugaryblue's example is the scaled marks
english advanced would more likely have a better scaled mark from its equivalent aligned mark of 90 than ESL
but check Table 3 from the UAC UAI's site
