[Dino The Raja]

YES
NO
NOT SURE

 

[Smurfwow]

its crap...

 

[Butterfly_Wings]

I think ANY mark is good when it comes to 4 unit maths...let alone one in the mid 80s!

 

[Lazarus]

The average was 79.78.

 

[mannnnndy]

You did a lot better than me so I wouldnt complain.

 

[Ultimate]

The average aligned HSC mark for 4 unit in 2002 seems to be much lower than was the case in 2001. Hence marks are generally lower this yea compared to last year.

Also, 44% of 4 unit student this year scored E 4, whereaes in 2002, only 31.7% of students scored in E 4, a significant difference as can be seen.

it depends ... if you are aiming sky-high (no pun intended) then its crap ... but if you are just aiming for a reasonable/decent mark 86 is quite reasonable and decent ... it just depends on what you expect ...

 

[quartic]

where do you get all of these statistics Lazarus?

 

[Lazarus]

Generally, marks in 2 unit courses were higher, Ultimate, and marks in extension courses were lower (from what I can see).

quartic - That particular piece of data came from http://boredofstudies.org/bands.html which I borrowed from my ex-school shortly after results were released.

All the stats are now available here:

Totally agree with you there lazarus. Also, if you look at the UAC document for 2002 distribution of scaled marks, it can be seen that ext. 2 maths scaled no where near as good as was the case last year. hmm perhaps that is why my UAI appeared lower than I thought cause I was counting on good scaling like last year.

Also, physics, chemistry seemed to be a little down on the scaling as well compared to last year.

Interesting

depends on your marks, what marks did you get for your report etc?

 

[schwang_thang]

its really difficult 2 guess wat u might get, alot of it depends on ur rankings n exam marks as well as how the teachers at ur school might mark

for eg. at school i averaged 70 in 3u maths, so i was expecting either a band E2 or E3. my hsc mark ended up being 92/100, a band E4 - a complete surprise, so i guess u cant really predict much based on ur raw scores. the BoS screw around quite a bit with the marks so yeah, its a bit hard 2 estimate.

I did 3 & 4u maths, advanced english, chem, bio, and ancient history.
uai = 92.6 (which is a lot better than what I thought Id get, so Im happy)

How did u go?

I'm only a year 11 accelerated student and I only sat for the 3 & 4u maths. I got 93 for 3u and 86 for 4u (obviously).......

not too bad but I was dissapointed with my 4u mark a bit......
