Marking standards between English Standard and English Advanced are the same.risole91 said:
While there are differences in the raw marks that are needed to attain the same HSC exam mark in Standard and Advanced English (generally, a higher raw exam mark in Standard is needed to attain the same aligned HSC exam mark as you would get in Advanced), it is the raw marks themselves that are used in the scaling process, and thus Standard and Advanced English scales the same, since the same raw exam mark in Standard or Advanced English scales to the same scaled mark. Aligned HSC exam marks are not used in the scaling process at all.markzada said:Read part 5 of SoulSearcher's response (quoted from UAC).
You're wrong.
Point 4 of the section I quoted states that:markzada said:EDIT: To get a 70 as your HSC Mark in Advanced would require a greater raw mark than standard. Therefore when they are scaled, since the raw marks are used, the advanced student would end up with a higher scaled aggregate than the standard?
Am i right?
In other words, the same raw exam mark in Standard and Advanced English would align to different HSC exam marks, with Advanced students receiving a higher aligned mark than Standard English students. So a raw exam mark that would give an aligned 70 in Advanced would give a lower aligned HSC exam mark in Standard English.The common scale so determined for the Board's HSC marks was slightly different from that established by statistical equating: the same raw HSC mark corresponded to different Board HSC marks for Standard and Advanced students, with Advanced students receiving the higher mark.
Not exactly what you said in that little section I quoted in my above post, what you said is actually the opposite of what actually happens with raw exam marks and aligned HSC marks for Standard and Advanced.markzada said:Which is exactly what I just said.
Even you are saying that a 70 aligned HSC mark in advanced and standard equates to two different scaled marks used in calculating the aggregate (since its raw marks that are used not aligned HSC).
No, I was talking about the post before my previous post, post number 27 in this threadmarkzada said:I never disagreed with that. I dont wanna seem bitchy.
The part you highlighted is not incorrect.
ALL i have been saying is that a 70 HSC mark in advanced and standard will not yield the same scaled marks (which is what Risole said).
EDIT: Look over my posts if u want
Thanks champ.
South-west Sydney region, so Fairfield, Cabramatta, Liverpool, the surrounding suburbs around those areas, as well as further away if need be, I'm willing to travel. I'll post a thread up tomorrow on details about my tutoring service.28FEB said:SOULSEARCHER?? i was wondeirng wat area u tutor in??
I will tutor in Physics, but only as a last resort. And when I mean last, I really do mean it, there are much more qualified physics tutors out there and I'd be willing to recommend a few of them myself before taking it on myself.the-derivative said:Hey Gab - are you gonna tutor Physics or Cosmology or any of your other subjects?
omg. just do 4u maths.smackattack said:we've been through this so many times...
lol, if u do 4u maths, you don't do the 2u exam.Undermyskin said:Er...people can still do both 2u and 4u tests? I think they are at the same time!...Hang on, is that why there is normally an extra 2u test held 2 or 3 weeks after the first one?
