Each university would likely attempt to convert your international results (SAT scores etc) to a notional UAI. You will need to apply directly to the universities. See this overview for more information, and then visit the university-specific websites that were posted by acmilan above. If...

With a UAI of 99.35, you could probably get away with an average halfway between credit and distinction.

It is my understanding that the QLD Maths B course is an amalgamation of our 2U Mathematics and Extension 1 courses.

I've also heard that UTS raises their law cut-offs to bring them closer to USYD and UNSW. It's impossible to know for sure, though. Unless you ask them. :)

Students have scored Band 6 for individual questions in previous years (and those responses can be seen in the Standards Packages), but only three students have ever managed to obtain such scores across the entire examination.

Not at all. It depends on how difficult the examination is judged to be by the Board's markers. That was only the raw band cut-off in 2001 - cut-offs for other years would likely be different.

It's not really possible to answer your question unless those two students are the only ones in the class... in which case the student ranked first would receive 39 for their external and 47 as their moderated assessment mark, and the student ranked second would receive 47 for their external and...

Not officially. :) I'll probably be helping out with UNSW Law... uncertain as to whether the other guys will be at UTS.

Uhh... is this because you underpredicted your own marks, or did you enter in your actual HSC marks and receive a UAI up to 35 points below your actual UAI? Would appreciate it if you could post your input to the program.

I think Cj_K confused the Honour Roll (Distinguished Achiever's List) with the Top Achievers List. Xayma's answer is the most appropriate one.

I don't believe an electronic version has been made available. I've asked the education reporters at the SMH to forward us a copy - guess we'll have to wait and see. NB: The list ranked schools based on all mathematics courses and DA mentions (i.e. General, Maths, Ext 1 and Ext 2 all...

It was advertised in our newsletter (which you should have received via email). :) Here's the ad: IT Update - bonus UAI points available for IT at ANU Now is the time to study IT and The Australian National University is the place to go. Industry trends show there will be a shortage...

Whilst all of the above is fairly accurate, I'd have to agree with acmilan - you should still be able to arrange a time to view your examination scripts (if not obtain actual copies of them) through a FOI application. Of course, you'd have to do it fairly soon... I really don't think they'd...

This is unlikely. The Board needs to have a reason to reject your application - they can't simply do so on a whim. If all you are requesting are your raw examination marks and initial moderated assessment marks, your application won't be refused. If you request something more, such as an...

e.g. St Augustine's College, Brookvale. :)

That's an example of one of the instances where the incomparability of the marks is overlooked. :) I suppose they decided it was impractical to rescale five years worth of marks every year in order to cater for the few hundred students who accelerate or accumulate courses. Or they decided...

The clerical recheck is for examination marks only. The deadline for a check of your assessment marks passed in mid November. I believe the only recheck that is available is the clerical one.

Correct. Refer to <a href="/other/flowchart.pdf">flowchart</a>. ;)

Your scaled mark depends on both the scaled mean for a course and your position in the course. One can compensate for the other - so you can overcome a low scaled mean by beating lots of other students who are taking the course. (Otherwise, scaling wouldn't be fair.) I've estimated your...

It isn't a perfectly even distribution, but it should be roughly correct. Twenty-one students scored 100, which leaves 832 between 99.00 and 99.95 inclusive. 832/20 = 41.6 Some ranks would have less than this, others more. I believe this was approximately the distribution of the top...
