If I get between 45-50 out of 100 for a raw mark how much does it scale up/down by??

lol here we go again. Scaling is based on the performance of the candidature of a given year, and it is therefore impossible to predict how the subject will align and scale. Typically, Extension Maths aligns very well; in 2002 a mark of 30/84 would get you a 60-70 aligned mark.

i was just curious heh

thanks cactus :uhhuh:

 

[wrong_turn]

so, according to trends, how good would a 55-60 be?

 

[Cactus]

There are no figures for last years paper, however a 55-60 in 2002 would have been over 45/50 aligned

sweet.....very nice...very nice indeed. and this is for extension 1 maths? *hope to god*

 

[Cactus]

yes thats for extension maths. it's hard to tell what the aligning will be like this year, however if the paper was the same difficulty or harder than 2001's paper, then you can expect a high 40s mark

interesting, intriguing and very inviting to pass

 

[vadzzz]

If i got 50/84 would i be close to 45/50 aligned?

 

[Cactus]

Again I give the standard disclaimer that the aligning process changes from year to year so it's impossible to predict. Based on the 2001 paper, a 50/84 would have gotten you a 45/50.
