Is SAM bugged? (1 Viewer)

[Nevermore]

When i enter 90s for all subjects with standard english the uai estime is 96.1
when i enter 90s for all same subjects except english advanced instead this time,
it estimates 95.7

90 eng standard > 90 eng advanced in terms of scaled mark

But 90 in english advanced = top 10% of the cohort
90 in english standard = 0.2% or something like that.

In any case, SAM is very outdated. Use The 2007 version of Einstein.

i know that it's harder to get a band 6 in standard english than advanced english from the statistics of the cohorts but why? do the teachers mark standard harder or somethin lol

Simple, standard people do shitter than advanced. That's the only explanation.

But scaled mark is higher for 90 standard because 90 in standard means you are in 0.2% or whatever - compared with like 10% in advanced.

According to lazarus and co. the scaling should be relatively similar for the same marks in standard and advanced... not hugely off.

Hey guys theres something else that i am not not sure of

when i enter

90s for every subject with maths extension 1 and 2 (45 marks each since both are are out of 50) it comes out 93.50

when i enter 90s for every subject replacing maths extension 1 and 2 with ancient history it comes out 96.10

i dont understand:rofl:

Are you sure?

cause it says put a mark out of 50 for extension courses on the right hand side

if you have mx2, it's out of 100.

if you have mx2, it's out of 100.

Sorry i am really confused

So if i am doing 4 units of math

do i select just maths 2 unit and mx2? just mx2? or all 3?

or if im doing 3 units of math
do i select just 2 unit maths and mx1? or just mx1 ?

if you are doing 4 unit, you only have 3 and 4 unit because you don't do 2 unit (you put xxx/100 for 3 and xxx/100 for 4 unit)


if you are doing 3 unit, you only have 2 and 3 unit (you put xxx/100 for 2 unit and xx/50 for 3 unit)

hmm... im not too sure cause i don't do ext2

wait let me get this straight... so if you do ext 2 maths ext1 mark will count as a 2 unit course?

and if you do standard maths, maths ext1 will count as a 1 unit course?
:jaw:

Yep. but it's not really "standard" maths, lol.

3 unit is basically a 1 unit course but if you do 4 unit the size of it doubles (As in its contribution for UAI) and no unit contribution from 2 unit maths.

Omg i always thought that when you do 4 unit maths

you do, 2 units maths + maths ext1 + maths ext2 cause they're extension courses
but i never knew only maths ext1 and maths ext2 would count

but i don't understand why i've seen 4 people in my school actually do 2 units maths + maths ext1 + maths ext2 which made me thought u had to do all of them

Some schools just make you do 2 unit exams just to see how they do it or they might just drop out of 4 unit...that's why they make them do 2 unit so that they can see.
