English Advanced allignment / scaling? (1 Viewer)

[aqwerty13402]

I was wondering what potentially lower marks (from the mod c component) to the subject will do to the 2024 allignment / scaling? Or if it will have any impact? I know that there isn't a technical link between difficulty and those things, but if people score lower generally (assuming we will score lower on the mod c component), how would it potentially affect those?

But Mod C question was pretty easy

 

[L. Mandrake]

People always score lower on mod c. Last year mean was 7.83 /12 and 4.55/8.

the alignment will be worse this year i think the exam was easier

Exam was indeed easier, but the fact that a lot of the state was caught unprepared for the discursive aspect will drag the average down

guys is it possible for me to b6 adv eng, trial marks:
15/20 short answer (probably lower in hsc)
18/20 common mod
17/20 mod a
17/20 mod b
14/20 mod c (will be higher i think in hsc)
rank 6/40, top 100 school

WHAT???

which one was advanced fucking hell.

PLEASE alignment be better this year, i need this surely it will be, half the state would have only had imaginative prepped

Look based on my short study on raw marks I believe if genuinely the state was cooked I calculate about 78-79 would be considered a band 6, if it was half and half the band 6 cutoff would be around 81-82 I believe

praying the markers are generous with me

OMG I was like how did you get banned your custom subtitle tricked me so bad

HAHAHA good

it’s fr the new trend to be banned, i’m just following suit

just based on how everyone felt on this forum I'd say the state probably did well

but i've heard most users here are from top 100 schools so definitely big bias here

 

[appleali]

imma say band 6 is like 83-85 similar to last year maybe a bit easier

yeah in my opinion today's paper way easier than 2023

definitely a lot of bias. from what i’ve heard many lower schools only really go over imaginative (including mine) so a lot of people would’ve felt blind sided. but also the rest of the paper was decently easy so it might balance out.

It was a two part question last year, it adds up to something like 12/20.
In my opinion this years question was harder, so it could be closer to ten. But of course I'm not sure.

In terms of alignment, collectively lower performance may translate into reduced cutoffs for particular subject bands. However, it is important to note that alignment has no effect on a student's ATAR. This is because UAC does not use aligned marks as part of calculating students' ATARs.

In terms of scaling, there most likely will not be a noticeable difference, especially given the numerous factors relevant to scaling, such as the common scale for English subjects, as well as the likely similar level of performance across students' other subjects compared to previous years. Of course, the notion of favourable performance resulting in a greater contribution to a student's ATAR and vice versa still applies.

wait what? whats the point of aligned marks if they’re not used?
