is there anyway of comparing the enter with whatever they get

You mean state performance?

The ranking system is essentially the same, the main difference is that they award a UAI of 100, as opposed to our ENTER of 99.95, but universitys consider this to be the same score
But for example a 95 here is the same as a 95 there
-
I agree, they are the same in terms of tertiary selection. The UAI and ENTER are equivalent in terms of selection and score.

my bro did HSC
-
what does UAI stand for?
University a.... i.....??

At the high scores, they probably look at the aggregate, not the ENTER.

Yeh, they might, but i think it's unusual for a student who acheived the top score in the state to go and study in another one
The 100 UAI ranking is a really wanky one as they give it just because "those students deserve that particular recognition" despite the face that the ranking is still a percentile based one
-
is the HSC or VCE more difficult?
or both are very similar?
does anyone know how HSC works? are sac's also there or pure exams?
-
HSC is generally considered to be more difficult, i think they have a larger focus on exams
The queensland OP system is generally considered to be the easiest, they have no external examination on their subjects, as their end of year exams are written by their own teachers

Yeah, i've heard about the QLD system, sounds like the biggest joke ever.

I believe the HSC system is the best in Australia. Has great subjects, good focus on exams and an understandable results system (UAI, Universities Admisssions Index)

HSC is ruuuuuuubbish. Ask any HSC student and they'll tell you they'd much rather do the VCE. The subject choice for the most part is better in VCE than HSC. Plus students find it very difficult to know how they're going to do as the marks they're given tell them very little.
I personally think that the IB is the best system, but that's just me...
