    just a quick scaling question..

    To clarify - your marks don't mean anything as actual numbers. They are only used to determine the rank order of students in your class, and the relative differences between those students. It won't matter whether the marks of your class are spread between 10 and 40 or between 60 and 90...

    For those that do Extension 2 Maths

    There are two possibilities: 1) The scaled marks for each course are actually slightly different, but appear to be the same (due to rounding). 2) The scaled marks are exactly the same, and the first course in the list is being chosen. I'm able to check #1 if you tell me your marks...

    SAM not so accurate

    Are these her examination marks, or are they the combined HSC marks? SAM can only deal with HSC marks. I don't believe that SAM actually has any instructions at this point in time... except perhaps the tip that marks for 1-unit courses should be entered out of 50. I'm not really following you...

    SAM not so accurate

    I just entered those marks and SAM calculated 96.65. Could you provide us with a screenshot, please?

    Am I about to make a big mistake?

    I don't think you should look into a specific show - why not analyse and explore the purpose of myths and legends in contemporary literature? (Perhaps with an emphasis on the stark contrast between ancient fables appearing in modern texts, and why this occurs... do we develop 'new' myths and...

    How does scaling work with "special" subjects?

    English Extension 2: Your assessment consists of your usual assessment tasks, which assess the process of creating your major work. The Board assesses your major work as a product and this becomes your examination mark. Textiles and Design: Your assessment consists of your usual...

    Wtf Happens To 2 U Maths!

    To be honest, I don't really see why you couldn't have six (or even eight with general) units of maths counting towards your UAI, providing that you satisfied every other UAI eligibility rule. I've never seen any official statements made about it. I might investigate.

    2unit mark when u do 4 unit..

    The band written in that small statement is specific to each student. The Board works backwards from your Extension marks to calculate an approximate Mathematics mark for you. This mark isn't actually used for anything except for determining the band number printed in the above statement...

    scaling down??

    You should also look at the scaling profile for it in SAM.

    Distinction.

    I might point out that each faculty has their own Honours requirements, and may use the WAM in different ways - so check with the faculty if you want to be sure (try searching the website). Nope. :)

    Want to update your enrolment during the lockdown period?

    I'm not sure if it works then. I meant that it could be used by re-enrolling students who don't want to wait until Feb 28.

    SAM not so accurate

    I would urge you to share the results you are entering, soso, and where they have come from. You should not be entering school assessment marks, for example, nor raw examination marks. SAM accepts aligned HSC marks as input. The aligned HSC mark is the average of the aligned examination mark and...

    Problems

    Successfully logging in with your forum username and password should redirect you to a page where you can simply upgrade your forum account to one which is able to access SAM. The login page is refreshed when the login has failed. You shouldn't have to create a new account.

    Raw marks to scaled marks

    It would be possible to do it for the mathematics papers, which have very 'clear cut' marking guidelines. And it would take some time. But it's possible. :) I can't really see it working for any other courses, unfortunately. They don't tell you. There is a small blue (or sometimes green) form...
