I am doing this for the greater good, try not to be too hard on me 
Everyone by now around here probably has their results (or not, if they are gutsy enough to hold off!). From looking around here, it looks like everyone has done really well, and for that, I gotta say, great work people!
But try not to get too carried away, particularly with the UAI estimator. What alarmed me initially was so many people were getting good marks.... maybe we are all just super bright around here... then I got some proof. This year, more people have got into the higher bands than last year. In SDD, there are about 6x as many people in band 6 as last year, and IPT about the same (both are 1.8% band 6 now). A friend of mine was able to look at the principals report briefly (the thing they get sent which has every student at their school + reports on % in each band). He told me to hold off thinking about my uai - because so many more people are in band 6 this year than last year. Lazseeker has the 2001 HSC information locked into it, in which less people did well - so our fantastic results are skewed to look even better (like we are smart vs the less smart last year so we look better - but against each other, we are not as much better as we thought we were (omg what crap english)).
So just be careful guys. Give lazseeker a huge margin for error (5? for a typical 80- low 90's course). I would hate to see people go through what some of last years year 12's did with their hsc results vs uai :/
Anyhow, whatever, GOOD LUCK ALL! and you all did well from the looks of it around here!!
