ancient history scaling (2 Viewers)

[b6er]

hi im in a selective school (top 30) and i was wondering how the scaling for ancient history looks like. what raw mark would i need to get for it to scale up to a band 6. im currently averaging an 88 so i think im not making the cut for a band 6 yet. lmk what i need to achieve.

common misconception as what you’re referring to is alignment, not scaling

search up “hsc raw marks database” for info on raw to aligned marks (somewhat limited for ancient history)

it’s also basically impossible to tell whether your current internal average of 88 would be indicative of a b6 as your final hsc mark.

best way to gauge is to check your school’s ancient history b6s in previous years on hscninja. even that, however, is limited by cohort variability, so you may also want to consult your teachers as to how “strong” your cohort looks compared to previous ones

check out this thread for more clarification on alignment / scaling / moderation

i dont rlly get it, on the website it says 2023 - raw mark 83, aligned mark 89, then 2023- raw mark 81, aligned mark 89
1. how can oen person's mark which is lower still align to the same mark as anotehr persons which is higher
2. r these marks from the actaual hsc exam or internals asw

rounding

so would this just be the hsc exam raw mark itself, or like internals or overall
