State Percentile

If your state percentile in a certain subject is 80%, that means, 20% of the people in the state have gained better marks than you, and you have gained better marks than 80% of people in the state.

If your state percentile in a certain subject is 30%, that means, 70% of the people in the state have gained better marks than you, and you have gained better marks than 30% of people in the state.

Does this mean,

If take Legal Studies for example, if the state percentile was 93%, does this mean I have to obtain more then 93% to beat 93% of those candiatates for this particular subject?

ur state percentile is what u HAVE achieved .... if u have a state percentile of 93, it means u have beaten 93% of the candidates. u dont have to score a percentage of 93 in order to get a percentile of 93.

small scenario:
there r 10 students in ur legal class. the ten marks in the trials are 94%, 91%, 90%, 86%, 84%, 60%, 58%, 54%, 53%, 48%.
now, since the person who got 94 beat everyone else, his percentile is 100 (note that he doesnt have to achieve a mark of 100 for that - lower would suffice). the person who got 91% scored equal to or greater than 90% of the candidates, hence his percentile is 90% (though his MARK is higher ...)

u get the idea. ....?

ok, i'm going to sound like an idiot but i don't care.

scaled marks, how much do you guys reckon for 98? thing is, my school gave estimates, my scaled marks added to 445, yet he said something about ranking/playing around with those marks and my estimate was 96.9, so, for the actual hsc, what kinda marks do you reckon to get 98?

or is he mad, and would i really get like 98.5 *crosses fingers!!*

ok, simply, if i am hoping to get 90, 93, 93, 90 and 94, am i looking at 96.9???

If the estimates have been 'accurate' in the past, then I see no reason why they aren't now. But as is in most cases, schools tend to give estimates which are off, for whatever reason.

I say, just do your best, and don't worry about estimates. (And that goes for everyone else asking for estimates.) ;):p

ok so does state percentile have any relevance in calculating uai? and if so what relevance? and when you say you need an aggregate of 405 to get 90 what do you add up to get an aggregate?

You add up the 'scaled marks'*.

* Scaled marks are marks adjusted by UAC. These marks originate from your HSC exam and Assessments.

I used the UAISeeker in reverse mode and summed up the scaled marks.

Something about English
I've only ever seem like low 80s raw mark for school assessments
Was wondering if someone got say first in the grade with 82% in English, would they get an aligned mark of 98-100?
Also what would someone who get around 60% raw mark get if they are average in the grade?
