How does NESA do alignment for subjects?

 

[katiekms]

does anyone know whether state ranks are based off of raw marks or aligned marks?

Whoever has the highest raw mark has the highest aligned mark therefore state rank

oh yeah true lol

based on the highest assessment mark and raw mark. If two ppl got raw 100 but one had a 97 assessment mark and the other a 98 the dude with 98 gets it

Yeah I reckon it was honestly

Yeah I reckon it was honestly

right like i was so confident doing the past papers and this one was like tf

 

[LuLuMall]

does anyone have the standard paper

 

[ash71]

also if multiple people share the same internal rank how does the aligned mark work? e.g. if 5 people came 5th internally do they all get the same 5th highest exam mark?? and if so how does that affect the people below them? like would there be "unused" exam marks

A girl in my class who is ranked 1st internally in Maths Advanced got moved to a separate room today because she was coughing a lot. I heard that she apparently left the exam halfway because she was too sick to continue and didn't end up finishing. How will her performance affect my mark (btw I'm ranked 3rd out of 7)? My school is ranked in the 500's and we haven't got a single band 6 in Maths Advanced for the past 2-3 years. Will she end up dragging everyone down?

However, on the flip side, can she get a band 6 from just her "internal marks" (which will obviously be high - I'm guessing around 70 to 80 - because my school sets easy tests) despite her half-assed attempt on the maths exam?

 

[arcadian]

wait i thought state ranks were based on your hsc mark overall not just the external mark you got (or maybe im fried from maths)

 

[fenarifbqibgi]

Does anyone know how everyone found the maths ext 2 paper. I found it kinda easy except for q16 and im just trying to figure out how the scaling is going to be this year in comparisons to others. Like I found it to be easier than last years but do you guys think it’ll still have similar scaling?

Looking back on it the papers not even too bad but theres so many questions designed to throw you off. Like once you see how to do it its ez, but in exam so hard

 

[hihglightermmmm]

If 2020 alignment 65 = 81 then I should still surely be in B5 range so at the end of the day its not horrible but not great
