    Raw marks FOI question

    Yes, that's true - they're both good points. For those students who can't or don't want to spend $30, or don't mind an indeterminate timeframe, it's an alternative option though.

    Raw marks FOI question

    If your request is limited to personal information - that is, your own marks or scripts, rather than general marking criteria etc - you should be able to make a request under the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 2002 (NSW) instead of the FOI Act. Requests under that Act are free...

    aligned marks

    It's impossible to know unless you're one of the Board's judges. Any other person who attempts to guess may as well be giving you the equivalent of rand(0, 120). Just have to wait and see!

    UAI and ATAR

    Denied. For all intents and purposes it's the same.

    aligned marks

    That's not true at all. Of course it's linear. There is a linear relationship between every raw mark and every aligned mark, and it is a different linear relationship for each performance band. Yes - thanks. I don't know where the ln x idea came from. No graphs have ever been published.

    Quality of a Band 3, 4, 5 or 6 student

    The answer to your question is yes. The purpose of the aligning process is to make marks from different years comparable between years.

    Raw marks to scaled marks for Adv English

    No, it's imposible to tell - and even if we knew what the cut-offs were going to be, they wouldn't be of any use to anyone, because you can't know your raw mark for the examination paper until you've actually completed it. The raw examination marks are completely different to your school marks...

    All hyperlinks redirect to BOS front page

    Is it every single hyperlink, or only some of them? (How are you able to post in this thread without being redirected?)

    phys vs latin?

    The difference is negligible.

    "Board of Studies lashed over HSC" and other stories

    My understanding is that they haven't received their marks yet - but (depending on your interpretation of recommendation 20.7) they should be released in due course. I don't think the raw mark sheets have an official name. The Board described them in this way to Hugh:

    Assessment Mark, Where do we Get Them?

    Your ranks (but not your marks) will be shown on Students Online from Wednesday 18 November 2009. You need to ask your school for your marks, or calculate them yourself.
  12. Lazarus

    Significant differences in internal/external exams.

    Yes, the differences play a part as well. In most cases the relative differences between students' moderated assessment marks should be similar to the relative differences between their raw assessment marks.

    how does scaling actually work? I don't get it!!

    OK guys, here's the deal, in simple terms. You might find it useful to follow along with this flowchart or this flowchart. The initial process Everyone starts off with an internal school assessment mark or a raw school assessment mark. That's the mark given to you by your school once you've...

    Duty of Care - scope of duty

    Wow, what a blast from the past. I've attached the flowcharts from the previous posts. They were created back in 2003, so they are likely to need updating! In hindsight they look a bit simplistic but maybe that's what you need in a torts exam, I can't really remember.

    Scaling: Raw mark vs Assesment mark ?

    Scaled marks are calculated from raw HSC marks, which are the average of your raw examination mark and your moderated assessment mark. (flowchart 1) (flowchart 2)
  17. Lazarus

    Significant differences in internal/external exams.

    Cem is correct. It doesn't affect you at all - if you're ranked first (and not just equal first), you're immune. Your assessment mark will be set equal to the top exam mark for your school.

    Raw mark /105 for 95 in Eng Adv?

    Essentially, yes. So the speculation in this thread serves no purpose.

    How does your internal ranking affect your ATAR?

    The process is illustrated by this flowchart.

    Suggestion for resources

    They're good ideas. In the meantime, for a search function, you can construct a Google search string such as this one: site:boredofstudies.org king lear marxist It tells Google to search our resources and forum websites for those keywords. If you want to restrict it to resources and...
