Aligned marks rounded to the nearest whole?? (1 Viewer)

Aligned marks are always given as whole numbers. When the BOS moderates and aligns internal assessment marks, the marks wouldn't end up as whole numbers would they?
If that's the case, wouldn't that mean you'd actually lose up to 4 marks if your marks kept getting rounded down? e.g. 10 units (each unit = 47.4 rounded down to 47 = loss of 4 marks).

you uai isn't calculated based on aligned marks....

they are just rounded so that they are easier to read.

So 97.45 wouldn't get rounded to 97.5 and then 98

why not just round off 97.45 to 100

Marks are reported as whole numbers, but a precision of at least one decimal place is maintained throughout all calculations.

so, even though u may get an actual aligned mark of 49.4/50, it would just be reported to u as 49/50? but in the scaling of the marks, the uac would use 49.4?
what if u get 49.5/50? does that mean it's reported to u as 50/50? or does it get rounded down?

1/2 marks get rounded up in my experience:
I got 88 for assessment
91 for HSC exam
89.5 average
90 total

pcx... UAC doesn't use aligned marks!

UAC scales from your raw marks, JUAIseek and SAM just use aligned marks cause they have more meaning than raw marks. Besides we don't have much info on raw marks.
