Aligned marks (1 Viewer)

wtf 98

lol dw im not expecting 98
its just i need english to do randomly well, cause its the most variable one and i need it to fix my atar

i just need a high mark in chemistry so that i can tutor it

 

[carrotsss]

the whole idea of alignment is to make marks comparable between years but the cutoffs are decided by boards of people who won’t always perfectly know exactly how students will actually perform so it doesn’t rlly

same like I actually have no clue how I did in english

i thought cutoffs would be decided after exam marks are collected and analysed with stats and stuff.

no what i said proves thats not how alignment works
they dont stay consistent within years for some reason
e.g it was harder to get 96 aligned in 2022 than 2021 bc of raw mark differences and exam difficulty
i dont realy how exactly how it works but i just know the answer to your question is no lol
ask jimmy or smth

but maybe they'll try to correct the alignment this year and ensure scaling it back to normal.
cause nesa says they do alignment to compare exam performance across years. obviously this doesn't always work out

my math teacher told me that last year but idk if its true or not

that’s part of the process but not all of it, and it’s still left to human decisions at the end of the day

Hold on how would u guys say the eng exams were compared to previous yrs? I feel like nesa went easy on us this yr, no comparisons for short answers, no excerpts for both paper 1 and 2 essays,, idk

sometimes i'll just be doing nothing and i start thinking about english and the essays (ik i'm a loser), just need a decent mark so i can start tutoring for it so hopefully the alignment is good this year

comparable to 2019 imo but easier than 2020-22

cani lie about state ranking and charge 100/hr

Can someone tell me roughly what these raw marks will align to

• English--> 87
• Math advanced -->72
• Biology --> 87
• Chemistry-->84
• Physics--> 78

89 ,88 ,91, 89, idk abt physics

Fuck yea lets go thanks cuh

 

[carrotsss]

89 ,88 ,91, 89, idk abt physics

87->89 for english??

 

[Ritikthegoat]

o

87->89 for english??

I forgot its standard english

 

[carrotsss]

o

I forgot its standard english

oh forgot abt that

how do you even predict raw marks i tried to do it with chem using peak sols but it just feels kinda subjective like it depends what the marking criteria says so i just have one range of what mark i probably got

for quantitive qs it’s pretty clear, for qualitative qs I feel like you get a sort of intuition for how many marks you’d get after a while seeing so many marking criteria
