This was the 2020 alignment, hopefully it’s equal and/or better coz I think the consensus is that todays was harder.
it’s not going to be like this cuz 2020 was a new syllabus and it was pretty tough. i think it’ll be more like 2022

heyy guys, what do u mean by alignment? is that the same as scaling? i also sat the exam and some questions were soo hard!!
as far as I'm aware, its what a raw mark gets pushed to due to how relatively well it does compared to the state + subject difficulty + other factors. Obviously physics will have a lower cut-off raw mark for a band 6 (usually in the 80-85 range cut off) for a band 6, whereas something like math standard, its higher (usually high 80s-90)

so If we have a look at raw marks database, we see the raw mark and aligned mark. for math std 2020 an 81 aligned to 90, but does that necessarily mean someone who got a 81 raw mark got a band 6? or does scaling sometimes bring the mark down too?

i also have another question. my rank is 25/255 for math and the average number of band 6's my school fluctuates each year (20 in 2022 and 13 in 2023) , I think I got around 80 raw in the exam, is there any chance of me getting a band 6?

yeah i also think i got around an 80 for that, but i also want to know how they use internals to get our hsc mark. cuz i think i did better in internals than the hsc. so do they average out internals and externals to get hsc mark? (i heard that somewhere)
