98+ (or low 98s) for derivative at the moment.

99+ for Aerath, I reckon.

90+ for Shaon0
90+ Okay, got a new aim of 93.8 which will get me to B.E/B.Sc

Thanks guys for the estimate.
It's actually a big suprise, I mean I'd be happy with anything over 90, but I want to work harder to increase my chances of getting a UAI over 95.
yeah i'm sure you're up to it. Just keep at it. I'm seeing a 97+ UAI for you :)

Around 98.8 to 99.8 UAI, depending on Scaling, Ranks and whatnot.

Shit, that's lower than Aerath and Namu.

Well, if you're ranked first in a Top 50 school (Which I'm assuming you are with those ranks) then It'll probably be around 99.8.
No, I am not. But 3 people got higher than or equal to 99.9 last year. Dux got 100 UAI with first in the state for AH and top 5 rank in EX1.

Well, to be honest I don't think I will be the top. There are 4 people at my school in particular who are coming basically first and 2nd in everything. I am probably the worst one out of those 4. And one guy in particular pwns me even in maths.

It doesn't really matter. I mean if you are ranked Top 5 in a Top 50 school, you're bound to get a really high UAI.

Are you in the top 4 at your school?
..I just entered your marks on a UAI Calculator and it just gave me 99.65 UAI.

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

How are you guys estimating these UAIs?

Wow, a prediction of 99.65...I'd be ecstatic with a 99+ prediction.

I'd like to know as well...Do you just punch it into SAM?

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

I think the UAI predictions that most people are giving are generally based on pure guesswork. ;)

why the change?
Changed because 99.55 (B.E/B.Law) was unrealistic or too hard to achieve.
SAM has me on 96.35.

Well they're pretty accurate. SAM's estimate has me on 97.25.
Gotta work harder!
Well, sorta hard to guestimate a mark for us since my English mark was 81 for Advanced (but I did well-ish, rank-wise), similarly, with Extension, which I got a mark of 43 for, which was really good (8th), whereas, Maths was a 127.5/150, which sounds pretty crap mark wise, but rank wise, it was pretty good 2nd. On the other hand, Physics was a 98, but I'm sure that it wouldn't be as high as that in the HSC.
