Raw Exam mark -----> Algined HSC mark ------> Scaled mark

Only BOS people knows how to work out aligned marks from raw marks. Basically they are a bunch of fake marks to fool you and make you think you did great but in reality you did pretty crap in the exam. Often this will be reflected in your scaled marks.

Actually there's a flaw in that diagram Survivor39

It's:

Raw HSC mark ---> Aligned HSC mark
Raw HSC mark ---> Scaled HSC mark

The Board of studies does the aligning process.
The UAC does the scaling process.

And both use the raw HSC mark.

I made that diagram so that people won't get confused with the UAC scaling table, where one particular table shows scaled marks derived from HSC marks, not from raw marks.

But Ragerunner's diagram is more correct.

If the UAC scales from raw marks, then why does SAM (which calculates UAI) require aligned marks?

There currently isn't enough information in the public domain regarding raw marks.

For this reason, the Technical Committee on Scaling provides some equivalencies between scaled marks and aligned marks, even though there is no explicit relationship between them.

SAM utilises this data, because it is currently the only available data.

unless they published all the raw marks of every student, it still wouldn't be that useful
