Is the online mark the scaled mark used in UAI or is it raw? (1 Viewer)

The online mark is your reported mark.

I'm pretty sure that the mark used to calculate your UAI is not the one that you get to see.

it's scaled already, but they scale it further when they work out your uai

The HSC marks you saw today are not used in the calculation of the UAI.

Here is a flowchart showing how your marks are used.

Basically it's your scaled HSC mark that is used. The scaled HSC mark is the result of scaling the RAW HSC mark.

The mark you saw today is the result of a process by the Board of Studies called "aligning" which changes your mark to fit a set of standards achieved.


To attain the UAI and your HSC marks, the 2 procedures used are independent of each other except for the fact that they both use your RAW HSC mark.

so they dont use what we saw today? or they take the hsc mark today and scale it further either up or down. what does aggregating and ranking, equipercentile mapping all mean? im hoping the marks get scaled further because right now the hsc marks given today arent good enough.

They do not use the marks you saw today.

They use the RAW HSC marks which are not publically available for students to see.

Aggregating refers to the sum of all scaled marks. This is how they come up with your UAI. The higher your aggregate, the better your UAI.
