cutoff greater than 100/120 (1 Viewer)

[coroneos]

i cant believe 100/120 is like 90+ scaled though..

Do you mean UAI cutoffs for Uni courses? If you do, yes the UAI cutoff is based on demand. For example if you look at last year's BArts @ SydU, which had a cutoff of 86.5. That means that the person with the lowest UAI who was accepted into that course last year had a UAI of 86.5

oh...ic~~
Most course the UAI goes up every year...so tat means there's more ppl demanding uni course?~~~
Making life hard now~~~

 

[coroneos]

It isnt fair that it is harder to get same uai every year.

2004 was easier than 2001!!!

I managed 110/120 on 2001, there is NO chance I'm getting that on 2004!

 

[Will_Sparky]

It isnt fair that it is harder to get same uai every year.

what also isn't fair is the fact that the UAI for particular courses are getting higher. So meanwhile we're working harder for the same UAI, but the UAI required for the course we want to do is getting higher!!!

 

[mizz_smee]

its because they are giving more places to paying students
so there are less places for people with a UAI

 

[coroneos]

yea and wtf is the howard government doing? NOTHING!

i just looked at the 2001 paper and i thought the papers were roughly the same difficulty...

then again i completely hate rates of change so i dunno. Hopefully i can get 100+ for this year's paper. *fingers crossed*

 

[coroneos]

no 2001 was easier. There were no tricky questions at all.

 

[Jago]

Objection, opinion.

Judge: Sustained.

 

[coroneos]

2004 was easier i rkn.

 

[Jago]

^ haha .

 

[nik_noodle]

I excelled and sat the exam in 2003 and sat it again this yr and last yrs was heaps harder...ppl came out crying....

 

[coroneos]

exactly.. hence 100/120 may not cut it for a 90

I'm pretty sure 100/120 will get you around 93. The 2001 cut-off for a Band 6 was 96/120, so the 2003 cut-off was probably somewhere in the vicinity of 85-90. So I'd say that the 2004 cut-off would be around 90-95 - only my guess though.

 

[coroneos]

but that means 115/120 = 98-99

 

[Li0n]

but you also gotta realise that each year has different people. 2001 may have been full of dumbshits.

I'd be inclined to say 115 could get you 98, but it's too close to say whether it would push you into the 99 range. A fair few people get 99, but because it's recorded to the nearest 0.1, it changes things a little bit. Most of the top 50 in the state probably got 98.5+ aligned.

115 would be a 97-98 at lest, that is like 95% raw (a lil over 95). my teacher tough it was on par with 2001, and the cut off in 2001 was 96, he thinks about 92 would be a band 6, but like said b4 it depends on the state average n shit

 

[acmilan]

I dont think cut off depends on state average, i think its predetermined
