whats aligning and raw marks and stuff like.. (1 Viewer)

[peeasoup]

How does the aligning go in this subject. Like, does anyone know what the raw marks were aligned to in previous years ?

 

[PoP 'n' Fresh]

u dont get raw marks... so u dont really know?

 

[ZzJasonzZ]

given the relative ease of this test i would say an 85 - 88 raw mark would be needed to get a band 6

 

[peeasoup]

Oh ok. Its just that in maths, people are like, a raw mark of 80 is aligned to 90, or some shit like that. I thought u could predict the same in this subject.

 

[peeasoup]

aahh cool. So i guess a mark of 60 wouldnt align too much.

theres another thread on this, like just in general ... with some real examples from ppl who gained access to their raw mark. search for that if u wanna know more

 

[peeasoup]

aaah ok thanks.

So according to the page, if a person got a crap raw exam mark like 40/100, (s)he will scale to like 70/100?

Yes.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it depends on the paper. so i imagine the scaling wont be all that great this yr, but still ok

 

[peeasoup]

That seems like bullshit. Even if the scaling up isnt gonna be as good this year for software, it still seems pretty wrong. Like, it doesnt seem right that if i get a 60 percent in this test, it will get aligned to a high 70's. But hopefully i am completely wrong, cause i would love to get a mark above 70..

I'm pretty sure you can't compare and contrast across the years for an accurate analysis


I thought the 2003 SDD exam was significantly than 2004 (particularly evolution!)

It was wierd to only see 1 algorithm...isn't there usually 2? An easy one and then a bitchy one

 

[peeasoup]

Dammit. I just read that those aligned marks, arent actually what determine your UAI. That sucks. Now i have no idea to how high my raw marks will get scaled, to determine my UAI.

 

[sig]

I'm pretty sure those aligned marks do affect ur UAI to a degree of 50%

Your assessment marks affecting the other 50%

 

[peeasoup]

I dunna think so.
""UAIs are constructed by the Universities Admissions Centre directly from raw examination marks (and school assessment marks moderated against them) before they are aligned to the new HSC performance scale.""
That is not good.

it's good if you get high maks in both the school and hsc lol
