I got around 70 raw, but I think it might still be possible for me to get scaled up to 90. I am ranked second in my school cohort, but I did not perform very well at all on this exam, so I fully expect more than one other person from my cohort to have scored higher than me. If the second-highest score from my cohort in this exam is no lower than 78, I will take the average of their mark and my mark to get 74. And, in 2021, a 74 scaled up to 90, as you can see at rawmarks.info/mathematics/mathematics-advanced/.

Side note: Multiple people have suggested that the 2024 exam was harder than that of 2021 and are expecting the scaling to be more generous than any prior years. However, I would think that students in 2021 were likely taught to a lower standard than we have been this year due to COVID, so the ratio of exam difficulty to student capability will be approximately the same as it was this year.

My point is, assuming that scaling is equivalent to 2021 (when it could potentially be more generous) and assuming that the second-highest mark from my cohort was 78 (when it will likely be higher), it is still possible for me to get scaled up to a 90 with a 70 raw mark. Let me know whether you think this is realistic.

Don't give up, guys. Keep it in perspective, hope for the best, and push on.

This is copium 70 raw cannot scale to b6 esp since 2021 you needed a 74. It also determines on the factor of if your cohort did good or bad, and if your ranked second and got a raw 70 it probably means others scored lower than you due to your favourable position. The maximum your mark would scale to would possibly be 86-87 realistically.

Yeah, I'm not expecting scaling like that, I'm just hoping for it lol. In 2021, a raw 70 scaled up to 88 anyway so I won't be too far off.
