100 ENTER?

According to this http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/why-9995-and-not-100/2007/12/17/1197740182432.html report, if one person extremely outperforms everyone else and everyone else does badly, does that person get 100 for their ENTER?

Different despite the fact that the scores you get in VCE and HSC are supposed to be equivalent? :P

Hold on, that means they have an unfair advantage by 0.5 marks!

nah it aint possible. even if you were the top scorer in the state, you'd never be 100, you'd be 99.9999999999something. otherwise, it'd be like saying you were in the top 0% of the state, which doesn't make sense.

To get 100 means to beat 100% of the state (including yourself).  :)

UAI, is an index (Universities Admissions Index) which has a base of 100, hence 99.95 = 100 UAI.

But, generally UAI > ENTER due to difficulty of various studies.
