50% aligned marks (2 Viewers)

Do you think 50% would be 35/50?

What about 55%?

60%?

You mean raw?

If you get 50%, that should get you over 80.

Average aligned mark last year was 82 and I am pretty sure that average student in MX1 don't usually get 50% in exam as in raw mark.

 

[dolbinau]

Wait, so like 43/84 would be 80+ aligned mark?

*Awesome*

It seems to easy to be true

 

[Danta232]

well i am hoping to pass the thing...rso if my about 50% gets me a 35/50 as you say.. that would be nice.

 

[munchiecrunchie]

i think he means out of 100.

 

[dolbinau]

Yeah, that's what I mean, like 80%

LOL in your frekin dreams!!!

No. It's true. Refer to the scaling reports. Over 25% of the candidature got Band E4 in Mathematics Extension 1 and median aligned mark was 41/50 = 82/100

The next time you try to mock someone, get some right stats and come back.

what does that have anything to do with getting 50%RAW in the exam. are you stupid or something??......50% of people getting above 82 doesnt mean 50% was the median. fak some ppl are dumb

You are quite right in that regards. However, I really reckon that the median raw mark would be about mid 40s and that's how I came to the conclusion. If you actually got raw 50% I reckon that should place you top 40% but as I already said, that's just my point of view.

i dont think so...50% of people get a raw mark of >50% in 4u papers. this is a 3u unit paper, the average is not gonna be in the 50%'s.....i think its more like mid to high 50's sadly

 

[dolbinau]

Well, for this test especially it would be lower than usual IMO. But I don't think you can say the easier the course the better the results. The people who do 4u especially I think on average would be much more suited to that course than those who do 3u.

Of course I'd like to think 50% could get me places, although I can see how it seems unbelievable it could get to 80 - in this test maybe not.

I predict I got 57% hopefully it's at least an E3 (whatever that cut off is)

buddy...just face up to reality, anything in the 50% range is definitely not a 80+. High 60%'s will get you a 80+ for this test.

 

[dolbinau]

Wait. is an E3 80%? What are the aligned cut offs?

Well, I am not sure then. I will try to some books that have stats in regards to that information such as 50 Tips for Mathematics Extension 1.

i heard the 2007 raw average was 38/84 in the exam so

 

[lyounamu]

i heard the 2007 raw average was 38/84 in the exam so

In that case 38/84 raw = 41/50 aligned.

It appears quite unrealistic but aligning is all about the percentile that you belong. It just shows how poorly-performing the students are in Mathematics basically...

Thanks for that info by the way.

 

[iluvGG]

yeah my teachers have always said that 50% will scale you to about 35-40 out of 50. and since this test was hard, i can believe it.

so ur saying i sitll may do ok if i get 75% o_o

I'm no expert, but yeah i think 75% raw mark in that exam should secure you with a good mark.
