I just put these marks in:
English (Advanced) - 85 / 100
General Mathematics - 83 / 100
Modern History - 93 / 100
Biology - 75 / 100
Ancient History - 84 / 100
English Extension 1 - 46 / 50
Studies of Religion 1 - 47 / 50

I can honestly say that I'm seriously surprised that SAM calculated my UAI as 91.55

Those marks were the total out of 100 or 50 from all my semester one exams and assessments, and I really didn't think I did exceptionally well. It's Year Eleven, so I'm not putting an extroadinary amount of effort (except for Studies of Religion which I am accelerating).

Could that really be right? That's a considerably high mark for quite average scores.

You do know that you need to input your HSC aligned subject marks right?

You may be getting a wrong indication of your UAI because your school may have easy exams/your teacher is an easy marker...

should i trust the SAM uai calculator?

i put all 70 for all my subjects and got roughyly 43 uai .. i know this is caused by the subjects i chose.. but 43 isnt that abit low.. dont u people think?

and if it is true... can i do anything? other then try to get a higher mark then 70 :mad:
i would suggest u don't coz when they calculate ur UAI they look at the subjects u do, what ur scaled at, how the others went and do allllllllllllooooooooooot of comparison so i wouldn't.

Its very accurate but theres no way of entering accurate infomation (except for blind luck) until you've finished the HSC and already been given your marks and UAI (ATAR..) :p

My school has estimated 95 for me but when i enter roughly what i think i'll get in each subject i get 92-93....
