Ext 2 Maths (1 Viewer)

[Lazarus]

The advanced version is just the online version with a few extra features added.

You can access it via the LazSeeker website.

Maths Ext1 (3UA) had two pivot marks, at 80 and 100.
Maths Ext1 (4UC) had a pivot mark somewhere below 86.4
Maths Ext2 (4UA) had a pivot mark significantly below 78.

I don't have enough statistics to work out those last two exactly.

 

[Morgues]

interesting.........I would think its harder to come in the top 9% for Advanced English compared to top 1% of standard

 

[Nelly]

Awesome stats, how did you gather all of them together?

 

[Lazarus]

I work most of them out myself, heh.

I created graphs that show how each course was scaled in 2001... that way, you can simply look at where lines intersect to see pivot marks etc. I might upload them to the site.

 

[Nelly]

Thats psycho, maths is finally useful for something, hehe.

 

[KilledInAction]

Yeh finally graphing actually comes in handy...
I'm sure many ppl would be very interested to see the graph you created Lazarus.

 

[Nelly]

Yeah, post it up somewhere, so we can all marvel at your mathamatical mind. hehe.

 

[Lazarus]

You can view them at the following address -

http://lazseekeronline.cjb.net/splines/

The x-axis is the percentile at which a certain mark would have placed the student, and the y-axis is the mark between 0 and 50 (on a 1-unit basis).

The red line represents HSC marks and the yellow line represents scaled marks.

The graphs may be inaccurate in the 0 to 25 percentile range as there are no statistics available relating to the bottom 25% of the state - the program I used to generate them 'guessed' at where the curves would be in that range.

 

[Nelly]

Wholly crap, thats awesome. Compare General Math, to like 4U. hehe.

 

[beebeez]

Out of all the marks I have, the following student did the most courses in common with yours, beebeez:

Units | Course | Exam | Assess | HSC | Band

2 Business Studies 89/100 91/100 90 6
2 Economics 91/100 89/100 90 6
2 English (Advanced) 80/100 77/100 79 4
2 Legal Studies 69/100 74/100 72 4
2 Mathematics Extension 1 91/100 93/100 92 E4
2 Mathematics Extension 2 83/100 82/100 83 3 E3

UAI 96.35
(legal studies was not counted)

okay if i have 93 for bus, 90 for eco, 78 for adv eng, 80s for 3u and then 50s!! for 4u what u think i get...

this is strange because dont they also look at your position too???

 

[Lazarus]

You can see what UAI different combinations of marks might give you by using the LazSeeker program on the main Bored of Studies website.

If by 'position' you mean assessment ranking, that is only used to turn your raw assessment mark into a moderated assessment mark. That moderated assessment mark is averaged with your aligned exam mark to give the HSC mark (which is what you enter into LazSeeker).

No other position is used.

 

[Nelly]

That's an awesome program, thanx man.

I don't like your sarcasm KILLEDINACTION !
IF your here to diss ppl get lost!

 

[Minai]

wat? another Big Willy?

anyway, u cant get 50 (25/50 in 1U terms) for 4U beebeez!, coz if i remember correctly, i tried putting a low mark in for it and it came up with "Mark too low, using minimum mark of 75" or something

 

[Lazarus]

That doesn't mean that it's impossible to get that mark - it simply means that such a mark would have placed you in the bottom 25% of the state in 2001. It says 'mark too low' because there aren't any statistics relating to that percentile range, and thus any attempt at scaling would be horribly inaccurate.

 

[souldancer]

believe me, u can get that mark, i got 34/100 last year, thats what happens when u dont bother studying kids!

 

[fatmuscle]

you wouldn't have come last in our grade last year.

Our school had the top 4U student in the state, so our teachers tried to make really tough Q's in there, but they were still nothing to him.

 

[souldancer]

pfft, i went to baulko last year, came second last in 4u.

n there was one guy in my year who did his 4u hsc in yr 11. poor guy

 

[tompryor]

my class, which is just me, no one else, are half way through mechanics with only harder 3 unit topics to go, will we get finished b4 week 5?

does anyone know why integration and conics is so easy for me yet i still haven't got anything in complex numbers and polynomials which we did first?

and i'd just like to announce that i am going to come TOP of my class this year!

and i'd also like to announce that u all have to forget that i am the only one in my class!
