Could somebody explain to me how scaling works in drama, what happens to your raw mark?

Raw mark is alligned, then scalled.

Using this http://www.matrixeducation.com.au/atar/atar-calculator.html

Drama, HSC mark of 80 gives you a percentile in the 52% with a 26 scalled mark
Drama, HSC mark of 90 gives you a percentile in the 88% with a 39 scalled mark

Your raw mark in the final HSC exam is first aligned by the BOS. Then, when the UAC is calculating your ATAR they will apply scaling.

I was messing around with the drama scalling, and almost half of all drama students get in the 80-90% range. That is such tough competition to get a higher mark.

Do you mean 80-90% aligned or raw?
