Mathematics scaling (1 Viewer)

Hi guys first post here, just a quick question regarding scaling that i probably already know the answer to in my head but just need some confirmation.

If say theoretically i got 30% for the adv maths hsc exam (i.e. very bad) how would it scale up against a genny maths if say, a student got 50% or 70%??

I know scaling is meant to even the playing field in terms of course difficulty but i dunno whose favour it would go for.

thanks guys

Get a UAI calculator and play with it...If you use SAM you need to be a premium member to see the scaling.

32/100 in maths (as an aligned mark) scales to 0.

Duno about general, but I imagine its worse..

WTF?! scales to 0. how so???? can you please explain how something scales to nothing? ive read all the threads on scaling, SAM e.t.c. but does this mean i acheived nothing in maths that contributes to me UAI?

Depends what you get in the other courses and how many units you're doing (except english which always counts).

30% in the mathematics exam will get you a MUCH better aligned mark than 30/100!!!!

I'd say the adv. mathematics 30% would be better than 50% gen. Not sure about 30% vs. 70%.

You should give this a good read: http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/scaling_report_2007-web.pdf
As well as stickied threads in this forum.
