Raw Mark Scale (2 Viewers)

[MisterE]

So people stop asking.

Can someone post the estimated exam marks for, say, raw marks of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 / 84?

Just so this can be used as a reference.

These are estimates, based on the difficulty of the exam.
Can't guarantee accuracy.
Left column is raw mark (out of 84), right column is estimated aligned exam mark.

80 - 99
70 - 96
60 - 93
50 - 86
40 - 80
30 - 72

Thus, at a guess, E4 cut off is ~54/84.

I personally would slightly increase the right-side by afew marks each...

you being racist to 80s bro? its like glass ceiling v2

is this legit.. do you really think 50 would basically equal 90 scaled mark.. such a decrease from last year..
the test wasn't that bad imo.

It's quite a possibility considering what everyone has been saying. The test was not the hardest ever created but length and exam conditions combined created a deadly result which pulled alot of students down.

2007 was an easy year - cut-off was 65/84 which was pretty much 10 marks over the typical exam. In a hard exam, there is quite possibly an alternate result and the E4 cut-off, theoretically could be even slightly sub-50.

the marks between bands are linear

so if 54/84 is the e4 cutoff (quite likely, i'd estimate cutoff at 54/84 this year) then

84 = 100
81 = 99
78 = 98
75 = 97
72 = 96
69 = 95
66 = 94
63 = 93
60 = 92
57 = 91
54 = 90

if you get a mark of say 59/84, that translates to 91.666666667 by this scale, and hence, your reported will be 92

hope this helped

what about lower raw marks?

 

[Official]

what about lower raw marks?

Umm if E3 was 39/84

then E4 Raw minus E3 Raw is 15 marks

E3 = 75 reported

hence there is a one to one relationship between E3 cutoff, E4 cutoff and raw marks (only for this range, remembering that the difference is linear)

39/84 = 75
40/84 = 76
...
53/84 = 89
54/84 = 90

This is only provided if E3 = 39/84, which I'd too assume is a safe guess

lol why does this look like some maths problem that I'm solving

okay thanks!
And isn't e3 35 /50 which is 70/100
And do you think the e3 cut off is more likely to be higher or lower than 39?

 

[Official]

oh damn, my bad, e3 is 70 not 75, lol i fail

im not sure what the e3 cutoff is theres alot of raw marks going around so you can check that

can you get on msn once in a while? Also yeah official is right with the raw marks
