The Universities Admissions Centre will launch an online calculator on Monday to help HSC students predict their ATAR.
The Universities Admissions Centre will launch an online calculator on Monday to help students predict their ATAR with “a high degree of accuracy” by entering their chosen year 12 subjects and expected or actual exam marks. Paino said while the calculator, called the ATAR Compass, will produce a reliable estimate, it should be used only as a guide because scaling was carried out each year and could change.
The Technical Committee on Scaling, a team run by head statistician Helen Tam and a team of maths professors coordinated by UAC, meet on the second weekend of December to calculate students rankings.Paino said some long-standing misconceptions remain about HSC results and scaling, largely because there can be “quite a difference” between how a student performs in a course and how a student ranks against their cohort.
Subjects such as physics and chemistry may scale better, she said, but it will only help if a student performs very well in that course.
lucy_carroll Scrap this system. They have become redeemable tokens that distort student choice. Now gaming the system for profit is being prompted. Unhelpful.

Universities across the UK attempting to ‘decolonise’ mathsSky News host James Morrow says universities across the United Kingdom are now attempting to “decolonise” mathematics courses. According to an article in The Spectator, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education in the UK launched a consultation urging universities to teach a “decolonised view” of mathematics. “This decolonisation thing is one of the silliest things ever,” Mr Morrow said. “It basically means you know even the hard sciences, mathematics are not safe.” So all the scientists in 14th-- 19th centuries are black africans & sth Asians or middle eastern asians ,, not white germanic people In other words, dumb it down

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11 years in jailTheranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes has been sentenced to 11 years in jail by a US federal judge for conning investors into funding her multi-billion-dollar fraudulent company. A jury found her guilty of three counts of investor fraud and one count of conspiracy at the beginning of this year in California. Imagine getting conveniently (irresponsibly) pregnant for your trial (to have it pushed back and prolonged), then losing. So getting pregnant with a SECOND child in time for the sentancing trial (to gain sympathy - who'd jail a pregnant mother) only to lose again. Love it. Multi billion? Death penalty Good
