UAC uses your raw marks, not the HSC mark.

raw marks?what raw marks?

Your raw marks (not your HSC marks) get scaled in order to determine your UAI.

**Ragerunner** · 16 Dec 2005, 3:58 PM

The UAC uses the raw HSC mark, which is not publically available unless requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

These raw marks are scaled by the UAC, and the aggregate of your best 10 units are taken and a UAI is created.

The marks you received today are not used in the process of attaining your UAI.

omg..please dont tell me the hsc raw marks are lower than the others marks...
im gonna get burnt alive.

**Ragerunner** · 16 Dec 2005, 4:03 PM

Yes they are usually lower.

Have a read of the technical arcana forum in the "Board reveals raw marks" thread to get an idea of the how much difference a raw mark can change after the aligning process.

Does UAC take into consideration assessment marks???

**Ragerunner** · 16 Dec 2005, 4:13 PM

This is one of the many reasons raw marks are not publically released. There will be a lot of confusion as to what the marks mean.

I really wouldn't try to worry too much about something like that.

The UAC uses raw HSC marks. The HSC mark already takes into account of the assessment mark.

Oh well, screw the speculation. Just find out tomorrow whether or not the raw mark pulled you way down or did you right.

niteshade1312 · 16 Dec 2005, 5:12 PM

doomed soooooooo much!!!

shortygb · 16 Dec 2005, 5:28 PM

Rekkusu · 16 Dec 2005, 6:23 PM

Gosh...so the UAC does not utilise our HSC marks? Wow...then what's the exact use of giving us a HSC mark anyway?

Anyways, arh darn if I lose 3 uai points from my sam prediction...I'll be bugging the head of macq uni in January.
