scaling and aggregate (1 Viewer)

[Realstudytips]

so basically someone told me that I don't need a raw mark of 90 in 4U to get a band 6?? how does that work??? coz that means I can get like an 80-85 in all my subjects and still get a 99+ atar?? isn't that unfair
and also for the people who get state ranks, are they getting the state ranks from raw or the aligned marks?

Bro you really think that you need 90 raw for band 6 mate check this out https://rawmarks.info/

BROOOO THATS ACTUALS MAD WHY DID I JUST FIND OUT ABT THIS....... WAIT SO U CAN GET A 99+ ATAR BY GETTING 80-85 RAW?

It's very unfair, it means that more people are getting band 6 than there should be.

Nah, 85 in Ext 2 math ain't the same as 85 in Std Math.

But it will still scale much better even without a band E4. A band 6 should just be the place for top students to get recognized, not rewarded to almost anyone. A 79 in math advanced is some how a band 6.

Its after alignment (not scaling, though the terms are often used mistakingly interchangably) has occured. if you want raw you pay nesa 29$ and they give you it

whattt no way. so you never actually really know your true mark in the exam unless u pay?

yep, though you can get a good ballpark if you check what the alignment was like on rawmarks.info. I only paid for modern. 85.5 raw went to 93 HSC mark.

so when does scaling come into play? when your final atar is calculated?

was there actual feedback on the paper or what do they just give u the score u got?

scaling is just for atar. Alignment is for deciding your hsc marks (essentially its how they make sure a band 6 in say english is just as difficult to get each year regardless of how hard the paper is). so like a 70 in 4u last year aligned to a 93 hsc mark and that scaled to a contribution of 99.95 atar. atar contribution isnt a real thing because atar is a percentile and they use aggregates but its a decent model to understand whats happening to your mark

If you pay for raw mark they only tell you the mark you got for each q. it looks like a table.
If you pay more, they'll send you your exam responses, it looks like this (but obviously with every question


You do not get feedback on your response ever. Markers don't ever write it during the marking process.
