Err forgive my ignorance what is CSSA?

Catholic Secondary School Association (CSSA)

They sell trial papers to schools, so that teachers won't have to work so much to make the trials . It also gives the teachers some kind of "expectancy" on the class performance, compared to the whole state i guess..

wow...
so in the hsc.. basically if we pass 4U, it gets scaled up to 90?! my goodness.
and how can ppl say it doesn't scale well.
haha

does anyone remember the question 6-7-8? post some here thanks!

hmm. why doesnt our teacher scale our school assessment marks, whatever we get we just get. our assessment marks dont go up

 

[Newbie]

because scaling in internals does nothing but boost a bit of self esteem since its all ranks anway. coming first with 50% is just as sexy as coming first with 95%

it doesnt matter, if the school scales it or not. its only use is that it gives u an indication of your hsc exam mark, so u can make comparisons n what not.

so u only have a problem if certain people get their marks scaled at ur school and not everyone

ur ranks and differences between them in terms of marks will remain the same

thanks, doctor

time for me to go over my mistakes...

 

[nerdd]

my average has gone down to 57% :/ argh! is that good enough?
my trial really made it go down... but oh well
i'll study for the hsc, promise.

I think it's closer to 60% to get an aligned mark of 90.

That's the rumour anyway, doesn't mean it's true!

In the 2002 paper a friend of mine got 56% raw....

He got scaled to 93 i think

So yeh, its something along those lines...

EDIT: I think i might have underestimated the marks a little...
Its between 60 - 65 percent that u can be scaled into the 90s

havnt done my trial yet but my teacher bought the independant paper...
I go to a public school, and so far got 60% for both my test this year so far... my teacher only scaled it to 80
but if the hsc scales that high, i would be happy.
but my class consist of only 2 people including me. my teacher said because there is no competition in the class, our marks dont really count. he said he was going to post a good mark for us cause we can do it.... so i guess im happy
