2002 HSC exam mark... (1 Viewer)

[schooly]

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knows what RAW mark in the 2002 hsc 4unit paper got them a band 6 last year?
Also, has anyone here done the paper for practice and marked it honestly? i am interested to see my level to others.
i didnt do too well , got 84/120 raw

84/120 that's band E4 I think... but BOS bands doesn't work on raw marks.. they change what questions are worth for the band thing.

hhehe 84 raw is goodshit

Hey man, last time 5 people in this forum were sure that they'd get 120/120, based on a poll

nah, prolly only one of them is for real ;p

Really? So, the marks are different for each question now?

Maybe i'll take drbuchanan's suggestion and do q8 straight away, screwing the rest

hmmm.... my teacher was telling me u need AT LEAST 95/120 to get the top band..... thats not correct?

but BOS bands doesn't work on raw marks.. they change what questions are worth for the band thing

can u please explain what u mean? this seems interesting/important.

Thankyou

eh?/ they dont change what questions are worth do they??????
i thought that after u did the exam, they shoved all the marks in a line, then squashed it in a bell curve shape then pushed it to the top end of the scale... (????)

getting the first 6 questions right would make you set for band 6 =p and i heard from my teacher it the marks ain't that high
having had a look at the actual statistics... only 1 person got question 8 right, while an unbelievably small number attempted questions 6-8.even for question 4,5, a lot ppl seemed to have trouble.
so i guess the best thing to do is know the set stuff well, ensure you get 1-6, and then if there's time, take a peek at 7 and 8. Of course the degree of difficulty may vary from question to question, person to person =p depends on urself i guess

Unlikely, so i'm not gonna do it really

Screw bands. Scaled mark is teh sh

 

[Affinity]

it goes through a process of aligning I think.. where judges look at the question and say and Band E4 student should be able to:
then they adjust the marks.

Anyway, I suppose everyone here is interested in UAIs.. so forget what BOS does. UAC works on raw marks

raw (not shown) -> aligned (shown) -> scaled (not shown) -> added to aggregate for uai calculation (not shown) -> UAI (shown)

BTW, Affinity, what raw marks have you been getting in past hsc papers, you seem REEEAAAAALLLLYY SSSMMMMAAAAARRTT

 

[schooly]

hey affinity, i am not picking on you or anything but i need to quote u again heheh:

UAC works on raw marks

dont UAC look at UAI (scaled mark) ?
*Confused*

 

[enak]

I'm pretty sure raw marks -> BOS, then scaled marks calc by UAC, Laz please?

My exam mark was 93 (HSC aligned). I think as for a raw mark, I would've got around mid-80s.

BOS takes your Raw marks and converts them into aligned marks for you're HSC results.

UAC takes you Raw marks and scaled them like crazy for you're UAI.

 

[Affinity]

yeah that's what I meant...

Classic . I could picture him heading the public relations committe for UAC.

Oh and I don't think he often browse this forum too much, although he showed up and showed a pretty cool probability trick before..

Ye, just to tease everyone who isn't doing 4u :rofl:

 

[flyin']

That's fair enough. But if it's to tease all those non-4U people, then you better start postin' outside 4U.
