Yeh guys what do you think the band 4 cut off is?

46

 

[Queenroot]

46

I think it would be lower.

 

[pyjama27]

how are you calculating this though

 

[pyjama27]

Probably this.

b5 maybe 56-57

but how

Raw mark database, I guess.

Band 6: 75
Band 5: 56
Band 4: 42
Although i'm not all that familiar with the band 4 range and the database doesn't have any for chem in that range

Remember with raw mark cut-off guys you have to take into consideration option scaling.

So if you did an option which scales better this year, your required raw mark would be a little lower than other options.

Is industrial good scaling?

 

[PakiPrince]

CSSA was harder. Probs 50ish for b5 for CSSA.

iirc last year it went up 1.

 

[Menomaths]

Options are aligned

 

[Frostbitten]

how does shipwrecks scale?

It depends how it compares with the other topics in this particular test, probably average scaling considering, wasn't overly hard I thought.

[Queenroot]

my face is aligning too, don't worry

Not sure about all options, but I think one of the very obscure options (forensic chem or chem of art, cant remember) actually went up by like 3 last year.

Nope, scaled.

It depends how it compares with the other topics in this particular test, probably average scaling considering, wasn't overly hard I thought.

It depends on the cohort who does that particular option as well. The 5 cohorts (one for each option) get compared using their core marks I think, and then scaling is applied to make it all even.

 

[Menomaths]

Nope, scaled.

A raw mark in the final HSC exam undergoes many changes before it reaches
a final aligned exam mark. Firstly, each subject’s marks are changed according to any
varying difficulties in option questions or prescribed texts. For example, in Advanced English
Module B, Hamlet may align better than Speeches (ie. a 13/20 in Hamlet may be “equal” to
a 16/20 in Speeches). These marks become the TWM (Total Weighted Mark) or what is
written down the bottom of a results check to be the “Raw Examination Mark.”
