And yeah, a pass would be nice :p hopefully everyone else did bad too so we all get scaled up :)

It was a bitch. I know for a fact I'll get like 2 marks, if that, for the last two q's.

As for the rest of the normal test, I reckon I was travelling at around high 80's until question 8, which I am stoked with considering I got 38% in my trial.

I know I definately lost 10 marks, taking in to account silly mistakes I hopefully got in the realm of 100-105 out of 20

I'm hoping for a 110/120 or there abouts... if silly mistakes don't smack me that hard.

Well i think i may have gotten about 75% or so, which is ok

I was just wondering though, say i get 96/120 [which is 80%] would that mean that on my hsc, it will show my mark as being 80 and as having been a band 5? [sorry, i don't understand if scaling is just for the UAI or for our actual marks too]

As I understand it, they moderate and/or align the marks in accordance with the candidature performance. (This is done by BOS)...

But i know for sure that UAC scales your final HSC mark for calculation of your UAI. So if you get a mark of 80% in the final Maths mark, that could go down to about 74% with UAC.

In response to that...

BOS decides wat mark each year u need to get into bands depending on the performance of everyone...

So say BOS says this year 82% = Band 6... On your results it will say External Mark = 90... even though u got 82% Raw...
