Wait...still confused. Which marks are these? (1 Viewer)

[Nuclear]

Are these our raw examination marks?

So when UAC goes to calculate our ATARs, will they scale the marks we just got either up or down?

:S

 

[Aeriff]

These are scaled/aligned. UAC uses raw marks as far as I know - someone clarify?

 

[kaz1]

These are moderated marks, UAC scales raw marks.

 

[ajdlinux]

No, these are not raw marks. UAC will almost definitely scale downwards from the mark that you see today, except if you're doing Maths Extension 2, or you did extremely well (high band 6).

fffuuuuuuuuu-

These are moderated marks, UAC scales raw marks.

So the marks UAC uses to get our ATAR are most likely better than the ones we received today?

The other way around.

 

[Nuclear]

The other way around.

Fuck. So UAC goes off results WORSE than what we got today?

I'm completely fucked then.

Good thing I can do year 12 again.

 

[Abbiesaurus]

But how come when my friend puts in his scaled hsc marks from last year in the uai calculator he gets his exact uai.

 

[youngminii]

Seriously

The scaling process used by the UAC is completely different and separate to the aligning process done by the Board of Studies. The marks you received today were your aligned marks.

The UAC uses raw marks to calculate your ATAR.

You can enter your aligned HSC marks into ATAR calculators because that is what they are designed to do - try and estimate your ATAR based on your HSC marks even though your ATAR isn't actually calculated from your HSC marks.

Scaled marks (the ones UAC use to calculate your ATAR) are usually very low. But consider this: A scaled aggregate (best 500 scaled marks) of 350~ equates to an ATAR of 90.

My results:

Drama - 74
Adv English - 68
Information Processes & Technology - 74
Mathematics - 66
Software Design and Development - 73.

God. I'm so fucked. ATAR of like... 50? Amirite?

This helps a little. Now come back and play trivia!

 

[boganxcore]

doesnt uac scale the raw marks seperately anyway? so in the end the atar will be formed using scaled marks anyway, just scaled according to the universities

 

[Nuclear]

Looking at my marks, what do you estimate? -_-

look on the bright side.
you beat half the people in your cohort!
that's pretty damn good!

 

[sinophile]

You also never get to see your raw marks.

 

[X-terc]

so am i pretty much screw for a uai of 90 or 90+ with these marks?

Eco: 79
Legal: 91
Business: 89
SOR II: 90
Adv eng: 83

nope i reckon your set =]

Stuff me really? FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

 

[tess_gee]

Ok so I got 4 band six marks -
English Extension 1 92
Studies of Religion II 92
Society and Culture 93
Visual Arts 91
and 2 band 5 marks -
English Advanced 83 (I fucked the exam big time)
Modern History 87

Do you think this will be enough to get me 90s? Even low 90s? I don't want to get my hopes up but if UAC uses raw marks then I have NO idea!
