anyone hav any idea wat the scaled mark would be if i'm comin like 20th out of 40th.. for ext2 maths?


low band 4?

Depends on school (hb?). I came 20th out of 40-ish and scaled to band E4 ...

ext 2 scales quite high usually. If you come 50th percentile (ie right in the middle) of all 4U students you'll get scaled up to 90+...

Coming 50th percentile already gets you 90+?
What about the rest of the people above? Are you saying they work only to get less than 10 marks?

yeah, i think so coz the jump from 95 to 96 is harder than for eg. 75 to 80. coz more people are concentrated and competetive there.

I think it's actually like the 70th percentile. IIRC, the scaling starts to plateu out at about a mark equivalent to 95.
