    Very Confused Help!!!!!!

    No. They are two different courses, and each is worth 2 units. You can think of them as 'standard' and 'advanced' music.

    Please Help Me. UAI 98+ (Want to do med)

    There is no way to artificially "boost" your UAI. However, there are a number of avenues and access schemes for tertiary study which consider students below the published cut-off. Regional Entry Tests (or RETs) are general literacy, numeracy and reasoning skills tests which are used by some...

    So whos talkin about 100UAI?

    The UAIs reported are calculated from the marks entered. They will only be accurate if the marks you enter are accurate. Make sure your expectations in terms of marks aren't too high.

    For those that do Extension 2 Maths

    You were first in Extension 2, so it's easy enough to see that your scaled mark for that was 100. The fact that you weren't first in Extension 1 means that your aligned HSC mark was actually something slightly less than 100 (i.e. 99.5 <= mark < 100). Hence your scaled mark would also be...

    How do the assessments affect the UAI?

    Your mark is also important in that it shows where you are placed relative to the other students (i.e. how far ahead of or behind them you are). It acts as a 'placeholder' - you're assigned a new moderated mark based on your rank, the relative differences between students in your class, and...

    An explanation of capping was provided on the first page of this thread.

    faculty welcome

    It would be applicable to transfer students as well. :) Try asking at the law office - I think it just contains general advice.

    TAFE students do not have any particular disadvantages - TAFE colleges are treated just like every other high school.

    Raw marks to scaled marks

    Identical raw marks in Standard and Advanced will: a) after aligning, be different. b) after scaling, be the same. The scaling and aligning procedures have different goals. The former attempts to make marks comparable between courses, whereas the latter attempts to make them interpretable in...

    Raw marks to scaled marks

    Perhaps... I tend to think it would just cause confusion. It's not high on the priority list; maybe one day. :P They're not scaled - they're 'aligned' in the same way as HSC marks. The Board never gives out raw marks. No, they're not aligned to the same mark. The raw band cut-offs for the two...

    For those that do Extension 2 Maths

    That was a one-off occurrence in 2001, when a small anomaly within the scaling procedures appeared. It is no longer the case.
