Ok this UAI is a rank not a mark rite? So say you got 99.5, will you be teh only person, or because im guessing theres is a lot more ppl than that will you have the same mark as them but have done equally well as them. This is confusing me. So ok sya if u got 99, you are smarter than 99% of the state?Can someone explain, im not dumb just confused as to why this damm number determine what we can do with uni!!

no, around 40 ppl get each uai, with only around 20 getting 100. (18 this year)

yes, if you get 99.00UAI, you beat 99% of the year 10 cohort you are in, assuming that every one continued to year 10. and since there are 66 000 ppl, there is not enough uai's for each person to have a unique one.

so if you get 61.50

you are in the top 38.5% of the state?

I find it hard how you can say only 40 people get each mark because like 5 people form just my school alone got 81?

Did they all get 81.xx or did they all get like 81.00 or something? Remember it goes up in increments of .05.
