I have the books for all my subjects and they are a hit and miss. From what I've looked at so far, they are really only good for quick coverage but it skips a lot of content, so if you decide to use them, don't depend on them. Personally, I like their topic tests quite a bit, but they do skip content there too. The whole collection needs a revamp ASAP.
I thought it was helpful for economics and ext2
personally i found them really nice for humanities esp legal bc it included every option and my school decided to do an uncommon one. pdh is for the first two core but i think they’re nice just to add to ur notes. i skimmed thru the math adv topic test at a shop but honestly I don’t think that’s worth it if u have 19389192 trial papers online lolll
Sorry
Alignment is a completely seperate process in which your exam marks are increased from their raw marks based on the band descriptors (ie which mark shows b6 achievement)
oh ok makes sense. So what I was calling allignment is actually moderation
yes (except some school don’t include it and then you have to wait for nesa to release them)oh ok makes sense. So what I was calling allignment is actually moderation
So the last report or ranks we receive after trials include all the assessment marks and ranks and that is used for moderation....right?
Further confusion clarification - then what's allignment?
Alignment is a process to make marks (mostly) comparable between years in a subject. Since obviously there are harder and easier years for a subject, rather than just giving you your raw marks NESA instead aligns them based on the band descriptors, so for example last year NESA decided that an ≈66 in maths extension 2 was the minimum mark to fulfil the E4 criteria, and hence if you got a 66 raw in the maths ext 2 exam last year then you’d get a 90 “HSC exam mark” from NESA (and you don’t actually get the raw mark unless you pay).
essentially alignment is designed to trick you into thinking you did better than you actually did.
Bruh why do u have to pay to get ur raw marks
nesa needs more money to hire more qualified depressed teachers to write more traumatising exams
you are literally in year 12 and most likely are not going to do the exam again so its kinda useless to get your raw marksunless you are really curious.
In the lead up to the hsc (week before), roughly 5 give or take 1 or 2
Don’t gate keepHmm gatekeeping it is then
ThanksI'll update as well!
My school never did this accelarated program, but I agree. Some teachers love to NOT help their students by never showing up
