Woah, its so close
If both of you perform on the same level in the exams, u might end up getting the same UAI, but pigz might pip u to 100 if he does remarkably well in 4U maths
lol, u realise both of you could potentially get 100 since u'll both be trying so hard to beat each other

pigz: most likely ill be ushering or some other n00b duty on fri nite, might c u there

It is. It's not easy to be in the top ~22 of ~65000 students. It's very easy to just miss out.

but do u think its a good idea to sort of not try that hard for phys anymore, and concentrate more on improving my 4u? cos no matter how well i do in phys, i don't think the scaled marks will beat my 4u mark...will it?

<center><img src=/other/me2phys.gif></center>

As you can see, in 2002, achieving at the 25th percentile in 4u was approximately equivalent to achieving at the 90th percentile in physics. And the 50th percentile in 4u was roughly equivalent to the 95th percentile in physics. For a UAI of 100, you'll need a scaled mark of at least 48/50 in each unit. To do that here, you'd have to be placed at the 93rd percentile in 4u or the 99th percentile in physics.

It's up to you to decide which is easier.

Disclaimer: Scaling may change. Etc.

holy shit LOZ no bloody wonder ur GOD...
that is seriously some crazy calculation

 

[Ragerunner]

Where'd you get that picture from Laz?

 

[pigs_can_fly]

holy moly

well, considering that my school's pretty damn good in maths, i think i might concentrate on 4u now, but i think i'll study for phys just in case, i mean i only have 1 exam left

thnx laz, you da bomb

ps: i feel sorry for you, having to predict all these uai's. my apologies for adding to ur hefty workload. really appreciate this. cheers

 

[Rahul]

i suspect he just made it in excel, using some data, and uploaded it.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

still...could uuuuuu have done somthing like that? nooooooo


jk

The wonders of Excel. Such a brilliant deduction, Rahul, I'm almost impressed.

I reckon that's probably the best course of action. And it's comforting to know that (at least some) predictions and so on are worthwhile...

...now go and get 100 so I haven't wasted my time.

lol...if i do, r u gonna use it as a promotional tool, distorting the truth and saying that BOS guided me from a paltry nobody to UAI 100 stardom?

 

[Ragerunner]

Distorting the truth?

Come on, you know bos made you
