    How does scaling work?

    i'm a selective school student, and I don't do any of those subjects. that's a broad generalisation, and quite an unsubstantiated one too. you could say a fair few do those subjects, but not ALL.

    HSC Accounting Results

    yep, a credit is 70-83 for the final exam, so I think you should get there! :) im not sure about the NYC part.. perhaps the one assessment you failed incorporated elements specifically related to the 2 areas you aren't competent in ?

    HSC Accounting Results

    Just wondering when it is that we will be receiving our results from the TAFE (indicating whether we have received a distinction, credit, pass or fail) for the HSC Acccounting Exam we did in November 2009. If anyone knows, or remembers when they received theirs from previous years, please...

    Anyone got 99+ without tutoring?

    well all i can say is that if non-asians like me don't get it, asians shouldn't need to get it either. seriously. :| it's just a "stereotyped need" for them.

    Anyone got 99+ without tutoring?

    lolll 50-60% is being soo generous! seriously, lol, people lie about it and say they don't get tutoring, but then in another conversation, someone brings up tutoring and somehow you find out that the person who said they dont get tutoring actually goes to the same college as someone else! so...

    haha hi ! just thought that I'd point out that I'm doing exactly the same subjects as you, except you're doing PDHPE and im doing 2u maths. haha. and the other difference is that I'm doing the HSC in 2010, and you're doing it in 2011. :)

    Does your school post your cumulative rankings?

    +1. I don't think that the ranks/marks should be posted up. It is a breach of privacy. Some people prefer not to have their marks exposed to everyone. I'm included. I say, 'worry about your own marks, and quit worrying about mine.'

    Share your 2009 ATAR here

    +1. As I think I've mentioned previously, there is a common misconception that scaling is indicative of the relative difficulty of one subject compared to another. As annabackwards has now also pointed out, it is a measure of the overall strength of the state-wide cohorts completing a...

    Anyone got 99+ without tutoring?

    this! i am a selective school student too, and I can honestly say that at least 95% of my year group gets tutoring for at least one subject. they'll always say, 'oh I have tutoring hw' or 'oh nah can't come coz I have tutoring'. it's really frustrating and annoying, definitely. I'm someone who...

    Extension

    exactly, which is where my argument that 'different people will have different views on which courses are hard and which are easy, hence scaling is not indicative of which subjects are "more difficult than others"' comes in.

    Extension

    that's an unfair call, I think. my argument is simply that different courses require different skills, and what one person might see as easy may not be seen as easy to other people. all subjects are easy and hard in their own ways. it differs from person to person.

    Extension

    exactly. no subject is harder than another. each course has different content, different skills required, and thus people with different strengths and weaknesses will perform strongly/poorly in different courses. scaling does NOT indicate whether one subject is harder/easier than another - it...

    Does your school post your cumulative rankings?

    nah, it was removed from our school because it was realised that each student has the right to privacy (in terms of their marks and ranks).
