so, we can't get a UAI of 100 anymore cos no-one has ever gotten a 500 ag, so wouldn't it be kinda funny if someone got 500 this year?

Lol damn Ruse.
500 aggregate is pretty much first in the state for 10 high scaling units, right?
I mean, I'm pretty sure even first in the state for something like Modern History won't get you a 100 aggregate..

far out! 100 UAI = 99.95 ATAR

these things are purely RANKS RANKS RANKS! if u get 500 Agg and get first in the state, ur still chucked into a 99.95 group, just like here in Victoria!

Uhh.. I know..
I'm talking about the scaled aggregate though, which completely different from 100UAI/99.95ATAR..
In previous years, around 485~ scaled aggregate would get you 100 UAI.
But I'm just commenting on how impossibly hard it would be to get a 500 scaled aggregate.

I think after a certain point, studying won't get you any closer, and it's down to pure luck...But in 30 years, no one has ever gotten 500ag..so don't get your hopes up.

Actually no. 99 in Modern scales to 100. So first in the State in Modern gets you 100.

I personally reckon 500 aggregate is quite impossible. duckcowhybrid, even stacie (I think that's her name) has her limit you know

I think the highest aggregate ever was achieved by this guy called Vincent at Ruse. You should see his rankings:
1st in state for chem=100
1st in state for phys=100
3rd in state for bio=98
and some other absurd ranking for 4u maths and eng.

100UAI in the endxD

no

he didn't state rank english. He didn't state rank maths.

vince would have got
100 scaled for physics
100 scaled for chem
about 99 scaled for bio
let's say he got about 99 scaled for 3 unit or 4 unit
then about below 96-97 scaled for english since he didn't state rank.

so max would be about 495 scaled for that dude.

Top would be either laurie fields or amelia joy thompson.

laurie
300 for 6 units
199+ for 2 units
about 97-98 for english

so about 497 scaled

thompson
300 for 6 units
196+ for 4 units
so about 497 for this girl too.

Jeez la. How many ags does one need to acquire an ATAR of 97-98? Generally speaking that is.

Amazing that for all the asian dominance of 100 UAI in the past the two highest ever aggregates have been from white people. Also for a 97-98 you'd need about 420 aggregate scaled minimum. But each mark is a .05 increase. 99 is at 446/7.
