Good students are likely to have their achievement lifted by the level of conceptualisation required in the Advanced course and the level of discussion that occurs in Advanced classrooms.
There is more value in studying a higher-level course than the advantage a student might gain in UAI terms.

laz, does te same concept apply to general maths and mathematics as well?
Yes, that same concept would apply to the general maths and mathematics courses.
However, general maths and mathematics are
not scaled as a singled course. They are scaled separately and, as a result, the former tends to be scaled down, whilst the latter tends to be scaled up.

Yes, she's right there too.
In simple terms, there are very few band 6 outcomes in the Standard course which students are able to demonstrate achievement of in a two hour examination. But this doesn't have anything to do with UAIs.
