atar calculation (1 Viewer)

[go bucket]

I have a question about how the final atar is calculated. If there were two people who did the exact same subjects except for business and physics, the one with business got a raw of 85 scaled of 80 and then the physics person got a raw of 70 which scaled to 80, would these effect the atar the same? Or does NESA scale it again on top of adjusted marks based on the difficulty of a subject.

whatever nesa does seems convoluted so i wouldnt dwell on the scaling process too much. there are videos online that explain nesa's process but im pretty sure everything gets scaled again on top of the adjusted like you said as they have to make sure its fair across the state.
