differences with st and adv english in SAM (1 Viewer)

i am doing standard english and was looking at the calculator, and i wanted to see how much difference doing adv english would make... when i put in the same marks but just change between standard and advanced the UAI goes down for advanced, i tried from 70 to 95... i thought if you did really bad in advanced it wouldnt scale up but i dont get why its giving me a lower mark for advanced... is there something wrong with it?

From memory, in past years only 0.02% of the standard candidature get a band 6. In one year nobody got a band 6.

There's nothing wrong with it - it's just unbelievably harder to get a mark that high in standard. Relatively easier to get the same mark in advanced; thus the lower UAI.

oh yeah duh haha i get it its harder to get a high mark in standard.
im an idiot i dont deserve a UAI lol...
