uai is your ranking its made up of your raw hsc marks and assesment compared to the state...you cant get a band 6 in standard because its (Capped-read the technical arcana section for more info on capping) and if your bright enough you can get a band 5 in eng

Students are not capped from getting a Band 6 in Standard. It is possible to get one but just too hard because students need to produce work that is worthy of Band 6.

Actually, there weren't any students who got a Band 6 in Standard. However, 1.3% of standard students got Band 5 last year.

I think its something along the lines of the Standard course was not designed for students to get Band 6 because if a student was capable, they would have chosen Advanced.

all the stickys in the other forum....

btw UAI is a rank not a mark.

UAI is made from your aggregate, sum of all your scaled marks.

EngStd only seems capped, however it is not.

Any student in any course should be able to get any mark, and any UAI, however, in practice, this is not the case.

Jesh and deyveed are correct.

You should remember that bands have nothing to do with your UAI.
