Band 6 raw marks (2 Viewers)

[harry4]

there seems to be a lot of posts about raw marks for maths buit i was wondering about raw marks for chem and physics. to get a band 6 in these subjects do you need to get 90 raw or is it lower as well?

i heard for physics 82 from my teacher... so probably the same for chem. this may not be accurate so dnt think its solid

thanks

also what gets a band 6 in adv. eng. I got 87% for AOS and modules

It is lower for all subjects as the BOS regards Band 2 as meeting minimum standards but the raw mark for that 50%, the cut-off between Bands 1 and 2, is much lower. It is in the teens for many subjects so all marks have to be pushed up to allow for a mark such as 16/100 to be raised to 50.

How low the mark is is determined each year by the panel of judges for each subject (or level of subject). What it was last year doesn't mean it will be the same this year.

We don't know officially as the BOS doesn't release the cut-offs at all.

^ thats y we use previous data to estimate...

That's what i heard too and i got told around 85% for chem.

I have no idea what it is for english XD

thanks for your hgelp guys. so if i got 94% in chem, 89% in physics, 80% in MX2 and 83% in MX1 in CSSA Trials approx. what would these be aligned to ASSUMING MY RESULTS IN hsc were consistent with this

Band 6s all round and possibly a state ranking for chem depending on the difficulty of the exam.

 

[shady145]

no idea, ill just guess and say
phys 95
chem 98
mx2 95
mx1 91
honestly have no idea XD

i know i seem ignorant here but this is making 0 sense to me.

dont you need to get a mark of 90+ in the hsc exam to get a band 6
and then your school mark is moderated?

 

[shady145]

raw mark = what markers give. (u dnt get to see this mark)
raw mark gets scaled = HSC mark
HSC mark>90 = band 6

 

[shady145]

woops forgot to add internal marks get moderated according to cohorts performance then is 50% toward your final mark.

The HSC mark is the aligned mark not the scaled mark.

There are a number of different marks and terms.

Raw = is the actual mark you get in the external exams and you don't get to know these.

Aligned = the mark that is reported to you as the exam mark or HSC mark or external mark

Assessment mark = the mark the school sends into and again you aren't told this mark (officially anyway)

Moderated Assessment Mark = the adjusted school or internal mark after the exams have been done and the range of marks available to your school has been determined (this is the one where the top exam mark becomes the top assessment mark and the bottom exam mark becomes the bottaom assessment mark and the other marks are moderated between those two marks)

Scaled marks = what UAC does to the raw exam marks to compare the different subjects in order to award marks used to determine ATAR and again you don't get told the scaled marks for your subjects.

You get:

Exam mark - which is the aligned exam mark
Assessment mark - which is the moderated school mark

These two are averaged to determine your final HSC mark. If it is over 90 then Band 6 but this is not necessarily a raw mark of 90 in the exam at all.

Gives you an idea of how raw marks are aligned for Maths Phys and Chem
It says 62-63 gives a band 5 for Phys (2003)
Make sure you don't treat it as a bible as it is quite old

wow, thats real beast if you actually got that in your CSSA trials.
that certainly wayy better than mine.

so wat if i get in the 70s for chem, does that mean i would get a band 5?

 

[youngminii]

Ye a mid band 5.

 

[zazzy1234]

Ye a mid band 5.

does my internal marks scale up to?

OK, for fuck's sake, you obviously have no idea how scaling works. Here's some honest, and truthful advice from the bottom of my heart.....don't fucking worry about scaling. Do well, and (negative) scaling won't be able to hurt you. Stop worrying about the stuff that you can't control (scaling). You're not going to be able to change that. What you CAN change is how much effort you put into your work, and this will change your marks more than scaling ever will.


OK....just thought I'd point this out before I see 10000x more fucking shitty "estimate ma UAI, will dis subject scale ma ATAR up?".
