Perhaps you inputted inaccurate details?

For 2002/2001, it should be very close to what you would of got if you did the HSC back then.

Or you really are that good :)

Unless you are one of the top of the state, the marks you input for the 2001/2002 will be correct to approximately +/- 1.

What have you inputted?

I don't even believe you have UAISeeker dirty dave :):D

I'm talking about the UAISeeker.

How does it underestimate you when you don't even have it? :)

Make sure you're not entering marks when it's in percentiles mode, and vice versa.

I feel the same way too :(

It gives me an estimation of 95% when all my subjects are in Band 5 and 4s.

That's what I thought as well until I realised I was in percentiles mode. It makes a very big difference.

i've tried both mode
(adjusted myself lower than how I would perform in both the percentile and the other mode)

still... I don't feel secured :(

are you doing yours this year or have you already finished?

But wouldn't that have the reverse effect? I mean, for example with phys and chem, 95 and 94 resp. will get you 99th percentiles.

I put myself in the 50 percentile, pretty average.

With high marks, it makes little difference. Try comparing a mark of 70 to the 70th percentile.
