    How accurate are SAM/UMAX?

    I think there's something glitchy about the 2004 data ... I inputted a friend's marks for her earlier today and the 05 version said 93.8 and the 04 version jumped to 99.4 :uhoh: . Now if UAC could just mimic that it would be really really good .... :).

    Did anyone perform badly in the Preliminary and perform well in the HSC?

    You're going to be fine. Identify what needs fixing and get to work on those issues. Be realistic about your goals (aim for consistently good rankings and not just a flash jump to 1st) and study with the final exams in mind. Year 12 is a completely new ball game and dwelling too much on previous...

    Ahahaha, spoilt for choice or what? Congratulations :). Going to hazard a guess that it will be Modern that gets dropped.

    Really? Those marks are epic, I'd have thought they'd get you the .55? Maybe SAM is underestimating you and you'll be pleasantly surprised tomorrow ... that'd be a nice moment :).

    How accurate are SAM/UMAX?

    AFAIK it's neither. Access should be through the UAC website using the PIN they gave you and your application number.

    How accurate are SAM/UMAX?

    I echo that "huh?" I haven't used Einstein so feel free to ignore, but do both programmes use data from the same year to make the estimates?

    What you get in the internal assessments doesn't have a bearing on the mark the BOS gives you. It's all about the rank. You came first in the internals and the exam too by the looks of it. So what the BOS has done is they've assigned the top mark for your cohort as your internal mark, because...

    SAM, JUAI and UMAX are all giving me exactly the same thing and I really bloody hope they're accurate. Fingers crossed.

    First Place in Course

    I was going off Namu's comment (page 2) that Sen Lin had apparently been called twice over the pre-HSC weekend last year, each time with different news.

    First Place in Course

    True. I guess if they can manage to screw it up once then I shouldn't be giving them the benefit of the doubt lol. And roookie, I really wouldn't know one way or another but just from what has been mentioned already it seems like the Board might go through the list alphabetically and...

    First Place in Course

    God I really hope it leaks on the 15th :). Not because I'm expecting to see my name on there but because it's getting really annoying not having any new information to look at. But I don't think they'll make the same mistake two years in a row. Pity.

    Academic Achievement Award for UNSW

    Ahahaha, it doesn't hurt to check it out :). What faculty did you send in the app for at USYD?

    Academic Achievement Award for UNSW

    Sucks massively, gah. I think I'm going to leave it as it is since the only thing which will disqualify me for the AAA is getting my first preference at USYD, but that can't happen until January. Whereas I have no idea whether Sydney will overlook me for entry/merit if I change it to second...

    Academic Achievement Award for UNSW

    I'm in a similar boat to anna .... except I want to end up at USYD provided I can land an entry scholarship and the course cutoff (argh). But if I make the USYD cutoff without an entry scholarship then I would take UNSW because of the $4000. And then of course there's UNSW's five bonus points to...

    Wanting to work in the UN?

    I'm thinking about the UN as a possible career as well (but in legal, not medical) and I'm planning on being conversant (at least) in French, German, Japanese and Russian by the time I apply for it. That means taking them at university, finding tutors, taking external courses and travelling to...
