Yr 10 cohort (2 Viewers)

[Dumsum]

So from what I understand, after all the scaling and other hoo-haa that goes on, you end up with an aggregate mark out of 500. The percentile that this mark places you in relation to your year 10 cohort from 2 years ago is your UAI, had all of that cohort gone through and received a UAI.

My quesiton is: how do they determine where to place those that didn't continue through and get a UAI? Is it based off their SC results, or what?

SC results have nothing to do with it - its impossible to use them anyway since not everyone who does HSC did SC. The only thing used from SC is the number of candidates *not* their performance.

who told you that dumsum?

You and your UAI.

"Specifically, the UAI indicates your position relative to the students who sat the School Certificate with you two years ago.

A UAI of 80.00 indicates that you have performed well enough in the HSC to place you 20% from the top of your year 10 group, assuming that all students in this group completed year 12 and were eligible for the UAI."

My question was how do they determine the performance of those that didn't go through to year 12?

You can find your answer in the UAI Technical Report.

I thought they get the bottom 30% ? I think my teacher told me thta...but then again, teachers pretend to know all about the UAI when they know nothing...
