Guys, what do you think the scaling will be like?

If we compare to the last major syllabus change in 2012, the second year for that, the exam for maths, 2013, was really hard, and had a 75 as a band 6.
Last year (2020) about a 82 was a band 6.

But if we look to other subjects, for example chemistry, the syllabus change in 2019.
2019 pre easy exam, 83 was a B6
2020 was crazy hard, and a 80 was a B6 (give or take)

So will it even scale that much better?
Or like by only 2 marks or so, because i defo did not score 2 marks less, more like 5 at least, compared to last years paper lol

my chances of getting into usyd have slipped
alsooo did anyone remember writing any +c's after their integration questions bc i didn't tbh and the guilt is eating me alive

i don't think their was a sole integration q

they were all applications

Guys, what do you think the scaling will be like?

wouldn't the scaling be poor if everyone does bad?

 

[hatterene]

i don't think their was a sole integration q

they were all applications

so you didn't do +C as well? bruh if there was i let an easy mark slip

stop scaring me now

not that i remember

 

[hatterene]

stop scaring me now

not that i remember

I'M SCARED AS SHIT LMFAOO (it's okay we can pray they were all bounded questions and not sole integration)

there was no indef integration ques

aligning works other way around. it's meant to take all the papers up to the same worth so a harder one will align better

yes same i was so pumped for 2u

and then half way though either by brain stopped functioning or the paper was cranking up

do you guys think the scaling will be alright for standard 2?
at this point i might be lucky if i get a 60%…

 

[hatterene]

i don't think the band 6 is possible for me i want a 80 at least pleaseee

From what I can tell, it seems like a lot of people really struggled with the maths exams (god knows how extension is going atm), so getting a bad mark would be relatively normal. It’d probably still hurt your atar a bit, but the fact that a lot of people struggled will definitely dampen the effect.
