(1) All students who complete the requirements for an ACT Tertiary Entrance Statement receive a University Admissions Index (UAI). One of these requirements is that the student must sit the ACT Scaling Test.
(2) A UAI is only amended by the BSSS following notification by a college of a change to a student’s college course score/s or package of studies, or as a result of a Board Appeal. The number of students who have had their UAI amended after approaches have been made to the Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) by the students, their family and/or their school over the past five years is as follows:
2004 – 11; 2005 – 54 (one college notified an error in the calculation of college course scores in a subject after UAIs were determined, UAIs were recalculated for students concerned); 2006 – 2; 2007 – 4; 2008 – 4.
(3) The following is the data on approaches to the BSSS for amendments to the UAI for each of the past three years.
