biggest myth of the hsc; unless you get ~96+ in latin or latin extension (48), it scales horribly.

Time management is the KEY to success.

Same goes for Greek. People often say 'You can get like, 70 and it will sky-rocket higher.'

Yeah.....no. It doesn't work like that. At all

Unlike Victoria, SA, WA, etc, in NSW the highest UAI is 100.

The ranks of those who scored 100 may soon be closed however - in 2007 the Technical Committee on Scaling recommended that the top UAI be changed to 99.95 to conform with the practice of other states.

This means that there would be ~40 students on the top rank instead of ~20 as at present.

99.95 sounds so bad though.

georgefren · 9 Jan 2009, 7:56 PM

Agreed. 100 just sounds so much cooler. Three digits and all.

wouldn't it though? If the highest UAI becomes 99.95, will the only difference be that there will be more people with 99.95? Or will everyone get pushed down ie 99.95s becoming 99.90s, 99.90s becoming 99.85s etc? Admittedly this would make very little difference for most people, but it could have a significant impact on people in the high 99.xx range - less people on Scientia scholarships and the like.
