This thread doesn't look like it's going to turn out very nice. Closed.

Don't worry, you can always attain a high UAI regardless of what subjects you do. As long as you perform well in them (which you are), it shouldn't affect you much at all.

The idea behind that is that students should be awarded for consistently performing well throughout the year, rather than one really good performance at the end.

The thing with the UAI, is that it uses the raw HSC mark which is attained from the raw exam mark and the unaligned moderated assessment mark (as helper said). The average of the 2 gives the raw HSC mark. And this raw HSC mark is scaled and aggregated with all your subjects to rank you against...

You are never awarded any extra UAI points. No where is it written that your UAI has increased by x amount. What happens is the University may take into account that you have a successful EAS application and you will be given extra consideration when you pick your university courses...

nope. Blackrock FTW!

I can't see how it is not an unfair advantage. Students knowing part or most of the question to the paper. Re-making an entirely new paper is almost out of the question because they simply have not got enough time to make another proper paper that can be standardised so as to be compared to...

It is also possible that maybe one of those top equally ranked students didn't attain the highest score. How would you know that 96 and 94 are the 2 highest? You'd have to ask every student in your year to tell you their mark because the HSC results are only provided to the school and the...

I'll provide a snippet of an example of a moderating procedure. http://users.on.net/unix/moderation.doc The main document can be read if you want to out of interest. http://users.on.net/unix/statistical-moderation.doc

The point to make is that it is perhaps as fair as it can get. I can't really think of any other fair way to moderate the assessment marks of 2 or 3 equally first students other than the current method. It needs to take account that every school in the state will be moderated in the same way...

I suggest you read this thread first. http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=6642 Then ask questions. It should answer your question entirely. Think of TAFE as just another school.

Saying she will take half your mark sounds confusing. What happens is the 2nd and 3rd highest exam mark are averaged and awarded to both students that are tied second. This method takes account of rank. Because you both came tied second, the average of the 2nd and 3rd highest are given to...

Yes that person gets 95, providing that 95 is the highest mark. His 65 doesn't do anything to you unless that 65 is the 4th highest mark. And it won't be necessarily the 4th highest mark that you get. As said earlier in this thread, the relative difference in marks between each student is...

That is incorrect for the bottom half. Maybe I shouldn't of mentioned the UAC scaling. To correct it, after you get 97 (The average of the 2 marks, also known as the HSC mark), that is it. Nothing more happens to that mark. The UAC scaling to determine your UAI is basically an entire...

Making a statement like that depends whether the schools performance is consistent with previous years, which in most cases tend to be, with only some minor shifting in ranks in the top 10 places. And I'm not sure what you mean by getting around average for their courses. What courses? and...

There are a few minor things you said that aren't entirely correct but I have the feeling you know what they mean. e.g. 5. When you come first in your class, and first in the exam, your internal assessment mark is still moderated, and it will be moderated to the mark equal to the HSC exam...

Easy there sikeveo. A lot of people find it hard to stay motivated to study for the HSC. But its not long to go, a little suffering now can make the biggest change for the better later. It's those 12 years of study you've been through, all for these final series of exams. Don't waste those 12...
