are school certificate marks scaled??? (1 Viewer)

[holla back girl]

the school certificate results that you get...are they scaled? or are they raw marks that you get in the exam... just curious

my brother is doing his school certificates this year... and he wants to know...

anyone??

scaled I think

 

[Riviet]

Yeah, they're slightly scaled

 

[Trebla]

I actually think they are just raw marks. I highly doubt the Board of Studies would actually take the time to align them, with the HSC going on and stuff. You guys receive your SC results before the HSC results are released, so they take less than a month to complete in marking plus printing out the certificates etc. Also, I knew I got 2 multiple choice questions wrong in Mathematics when I checked the solutions online, I ended up with 98 so that's why I think they are just raw marks.
Anyway, that's what I think. Can someone provide some official textual evidence about this?

 

[Boxxxhead]

Hmm... I've always wondered this too.. But at my school I found the trials much easier than the school certificate for maths and almost everybody went better in the SC... I think they're scaled

 

[hopeles5ly]

pretty sure scaled, theres no way i could have got that high of a mark in geo, being the lazy person i was back in yr10 haha.

I somehow got a band 6 in history and never studied for it.

The SC is scalled and probably even your school exam marks on your reports are scalled as well.

With HSC scaling is it a +/- or a multiply scaling. Eg a scaling of +6 and you got 80. Would your mark be 86 or 84.8?

It can be either +ve or -ve depending on the course and mark and overall performance

 

[Zozo6969]

Yeh but how do they do it, eg. if the scaling is +6 do they just give you 6 more marks or do they give you 6% extra on top of what you got?

 

[speedo]

they are

I think that few mrks are added

 

[kido_1]

They add a bit extra marks, pending on what you achieve, say you get 95, they give u 97 0r 98

 

[drynxz]

they divide ur raw marks by 2 and then add 50...eg: u get 80 in exam raw marks...divide 2=40, then add 50, then =90...therefore u get 10 extra marks...eva wondered why no-one has ever gotten below 50??

Who told you that??

Check out the SC scale thread

 

[pLuvia]

You can't fail the SC no matter what, unless you did not sit the test

 

[kido_1]

wrong. check the SC scale thread!!!

 

[gadbil]

Hey where do you go for the sc scale thread because i couldnt find it?
