How this estimate is produced

We place your reported mark in the 2025 course distribution, read the matching scaled mark, and apply the ACT BSSS / UAC counting rule. Modelled on UAC’s NSW scaling data. ACT course cohorts differ, so treat the result as indicative.

Confidence

Indicative estimate: the counting rules are local, but the scaling distributions are national reference data. Expect the official result to differ by a few points.
