Why are the HSC mathematics examinations (excluding General Mathematics) not marked out of 100? Why did the Board set them as 120, 84 and 120?

Gen Math people look at their results, if they got 80/120, and then get it converted to 67, they'll go OMG I GOT 80 IN MY EXAM AND IT WENT DOWN TO 67, WAI?

That is just slack. In General Mathematics you learn how to convert fractions into percentages. Doing General Maths does not mean you are spectacularly bad at mathematics.
Okay. Thank you.
Its also scored out of 120/84/120 to help with the scaling process. If it were out of 100, not much room for them to scale everyone up. by having them out of 120, they can scale however they do easily. well atleast thats what my teacher told me last year
