Well, it seems like Board of Studies are now letting schools access the raw marks for externals of their students (of course, note they have pretty much always had access to the aligned external marks of their students, but not raw marks...)

As a result, for the 2013 HSC, a teacher has let us know the following raw marks were adjusted to these aligned marks as below. By the way, rep will be appreciated for this valuable info :p

EXTENSION 2 MATHS (4U) - NB: Actual exam was out of 100.

60% (raw) --> 87% (aligned)
65% (raw) --> 90% (aligned)
70% (raw) --> 92% (aligned)
75% (raw) --> 93% (aligned)
80% (raw) --> 94% (aligned)
86% (raw) --> 96% (aligned)
90% (raw) --> 97% (aligned)
93% (raw) --> 98% (aligned)


EXTENSION 1 MATHS (3U) - NB: Actual exam was out of 70.

64% (raw) --> 88% (aligned)
67% (raw) --> 90% (aligned)
70% (raw) --> 91% (aligned)
76% (raw) --> 92% (aligned)
92% (raw) --> 97% (aligned)
99% (raw) --> 100% (aligned)


Okay, cool! Hope that provides some insight. Esp with it being stats from last year... :)

What a joke: 65% raw aligns to 90 and 93% raw to 98!

That's a little sad - 80-81% in 4U usually gets you around 95 and 86% gets you 96?! So a 6% difference for 1 extra HSC mark??? That's the area that I'm sitting around. 95 is a great mark but jeez there's some diminishing returns there

But Why does the 4u one have a 90 at 65? Isnt that very low for such a high scaled mark?

Nah man, E4 cutoffs for MX2 have always been in that range. Average of 65, maybs 63 for a hard paper, potentially even 66-67 for an easy paper

An outstanding case of diminishing returns.

Also, the unfairness of this alignment goes beyond that. To get 93 raw, most likely you'd have garnered at least a few of your marks from the most difficult part of the paper, viz Q7 and Q8, where it is 2 to 3 times as hard to get 1 mark compared to the earlier questions.

If you haven't already done so, evaluate your mistakes and compare it with the overkill CSSA sample answers. It it essential that you should understand the criteria so that you can maximise your marks since it is sort of similar in the hsc, that way you know what is expected.

Raw mark of 69 in 3U is 69/70

You sure you are talking about raw marks (hint: you are not).
