I thought that this year's questions were alrighte. The easiest being the ellpise one where we had ta find eccentricity, foci, directrices.
I calculated my RAW mark to be about 68/120....
Is that bad? I heard you only get scaled like not much.
I heard that 72% raw only =s 84% scaled.
How do you ppl know that if u get like 60s you get like 90+ scaled?

It varies every year, but it's just an estimation, we can't accurately tell which mark will be equivalent of the aligned and scaled mark.

wot r u talking about, van!!?? look, in the 2002 paper, if u got somewhere around 60-65/120, u would have got a scaled mark of 87%. so dat means, (by rough estimation) if u got around 72/120 u should have got above 90%. and i reckon dis year's was much harder than last years, so (hopefully) it'll get scaled up more. :)

How bout this theory....

4U ppl will kill the 3U ppl in Ext 1, 3U will kill the 2U ppl in their paper.... 2U paper killed everyone therefore the 2U ppl will get alot of scaling, therefore 3U will get alot of scaling....and hence 4U will scale well :p

whatever the reason... *fingers crossed*

AK Guimbi, you mean scaled to 87% exam mark, not including the internal mark right

yeah but u can always make a good prediction by lookin' at the mean of a past paper with similiar "hardness". :)

so anyways, was that 92 a prediction for me? :D i.e what will i get from 62/120 raw mark? :)

I think some people may be confused between aligning and scaling. The aligned marks are the marks you get from BOS, the scaled marks are what contributes to your UAI (you don't know what this is).

i.e. Raw - 70/120
Aligned - 91
Scaled - 94

Please only use the % symbol when talking about raw marks.

note: these are not accurate figures, i made them up for the purpose of teh explanation.

Well because 87 for std english would put you at the top of the state probably. Hence the scaled mark of 95. 90 for 4u would only put you in the top...err..I think it was 40% in 2001.

Make sense?

Then why wouldn't someone who would get 90 in adv just do standard, top the state, and get a scaled mark of like 98?
