The SC does get scalled. My teachers at school tell me they scale all the test results and classmarks for our reports etc.

They just muck with the average and standard deviation to make sure the results fit a bell curve. It would take around 30 seconds.

For the school marks, what they do is if your school 'earns' 100 A's, 50 B's, 70 C's and 10 D's then the top 100 will get an A, next 50 a B etc.

FOR D "they add 3 marks"

well my teacher, my english coordinator, the boys coordinator, and the principal DR ALI told me that they half ur original mark and they add 50
EG

if u get 56 initially then : 56/2= 28 +50 = 78 Congrats u got Band 4 (nothing to be proud about)
yet if u get 90 initially: 90/2= 45 +50 = 95 Congrats u got Band 6 AND a scholarship
AND THAT KID DAT SAID THEY ADD 3 MARKS, THIS AINT 2 UNIT MATHS HSC BRAINIAC, USE THAT MACHINE IN UR FN HEAD. ITS SC
SO DONT GET CONFUSED BIG SHOT HE THINKS WERE DOING HSC TELL UR FRIEND AND UR SELF TO GO JUMP u disgust me
and oh plz dont go crying

No need for flaming

And no your way of scaling is wrong. It depends on your school cohort and your mark

My science teacher who has been a long marker of the school c papers and is one of the head markers says that is how they do your marks. They half your score and add 50. BUT my maths teacher and deputy principal says that they add a few extra marks on your exam total. So I am not quite sure which one to assume to be correct.

If someone got 0 as raw mark, you half and add fifty to get 50, does that mean you can't fail the sc? LOL

Yep that's correct Riviet :) Looking at my SC results right now :p

Well maybe you can, there are marks below 50 i.e. Band 1, but told by my teacher and many people, if you are the SC test you already passed, if your not obviously you fail
