4u hsc scaling question (1 Viewer)

[schooly]

Hi i just wanted to ask a question that i keep getting different answers to form everybody.
is it true that in 4u hsc exam people only get about 50% and that scales them up to like 90%? these arent exact figures, but same concept.
Thankyou

 

[abdooooo!!!]

well the 4u average raw mark every year is ranging from 40-60% and its average scaled mark is like in the high 80s

 

[McLake]

Yes, that's about right.

But people who just do four unit for the scaling will not scale well ...

 

[abdooooo!!!]

i don't get why board of studies wouldn't release the raw mark statistics, or maybe they do i just can't find it

BoS doesnt release raw marks for any subject .......
i believe last yr, it was like if u get abt 60% raw, u get sclaed to around 90% ....... but then, it depends a lot on how ur year goes and as a result, on the raw aggregate

 

[abdooooo!!!]

i think they used to release the raw aggregate in the old system, i remember seing it somewhere

they should just give your raw mark back on your certificate so people actually know how well they performed in the exam instead of the useless HSC mark

what is the point of the HSC mark when you get a scaled mark from the UAC that counts to your UAI?

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

abdoo, remember that there are 2 levels of scaling in the HSC. one is done by BoS so that ppl doing "easier" subjects are not advantaged, this scaling has nothing to do with the UAI.
then there is another scaling done by UAC which brings into focus ur marks as compared to the average mark, THIS counts for the UAI.
if u try out lazseeker, a mark of say 85 in 4u scales u to around 90. this is the UAC scaling. there is a note on lazseeker which tells u to enter ur estimated "scaled" mark

the raw average is about 40-60% but they still get scalled quite well, about 10-15% higher but that still isn't a very good mark.

the excel fast-track 50Tips books have the raw marks in the front cover, you can go to a book store and check them out

But that was based only on the HSC marks for 2001.

i know, that was just an example to differentiate between hsc scaling and uac scaling ....

Why not just try to aim to the best of your ability, that's noble enough. Why worry what mark you will get? I mean a UAI of 70's + will get u into a basic course, you stay put for a year and transfer into a bett one at the end of it...

 

[gronkboyslim]

thats hassles you dickhead
you go transfer dork

 

[KeypadSDM]

I don't need to worry about transferring, the course i want is only like 85...

scaling

sup
4u scaling is wierd
you must pass the state average in order to achieve the maximum scaling possible and the scaling is not that great
for a mark of about 79 it would be around 89 ish
