SAM: 82.60 (UAI)
MATRIX: 84.10
EINSTEIN: 83.90

all those r good enough XD
the uai on matrix is 0.05 ahead of SAM so im guessing roughly good :)

When using Matrix, make sure you have all subjects /100, even if they are 1 unit subjects.

just a quick question..sam/umax calculates/scales marks and does all that stuff for you right? im guessing if they do then they would scale based on the previous year?

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 .... :).
