For example If i get a raw mark of 80 in the ancient history exam would that align up to a higher mark say 85?

Also do any subjects align down?

I'm confused can somebody clarify

Safe to say most subjects align up though.

All subjects out of 100 align up but those subjects where the exam is out of more than 100 will align down so that it is out of 100.

It actually depends on how well everyone else in the state does.

Not for aligning.

It does for scaling.

Aligning is simply the process of determining the raw cut-offs for the Bands whereas scaling is a comparison of the ability and results of the students in all subjects.

Aligning is done by the BOS whereas scaling is done by UAC.

Ah, I thought they were both the same thing. My bad! Thanks for the clear-up.

I don't think anything aligns down at all unless the raw exam mark is perhaps 99/100 in the actual exam (some subjects may align back to 98). For lower marks everything will go up.

This is totally different to scaling though.
