how to get hsc mark of 75+ in 4unit?? (1 Viewer)

[Valupatitta]

im aiming for 75+ guys. in the test, out of 120, what mark do i need RAW!???

thanks

 

[youngminii]

I assume around 55
Do NOT quote me on that

You mean a mark of 75 out of 100? No offense, if you're aiming for that, why are you doing 4U? =\

scaling

scaling

Could be wrong here, but it probably won't be better than a Band 6 in a subject you might actually do well in.

its like the same as a 90 in bio.

Using the ATAR Calculator from Matrix: http://www.matrixeducation.com.au/umax/umax.html (which I think may be slightly better than SAM, although who am I to comment ... I just like how it shows the correlation between marks and scaling etc.)

I used similar scaling subjects with a HSC mark of 90/100 (i.e. a band 6... just). The mark next to each of the subjects is the scaled aggregate mark/50:

English Advanced - 42.1
Chemistry - 42.0
Physics - 43.1
Economics - 41.1

Now, for Mathematics Extension 2 I used a HSC mark of 75/100 and returned a scaled aggregate mark of:

42.0 flat. Unfair scaling... of course

So a 75 as a HSC mark should effectively get you a similar ATAR contribution as a low band 6 in the subjects listed. Since these 4 subjects I chose are basically the highest scaled commonly chosen subjects, I'd say a 75 in MX2 > 90-92 in almost any other subject in regard to scaled aggregate value.

mx1 becomes 2units, as u would know =)

 

[youngminii]

Also imo considerably easier to get 75 in MX2 than a 90 in bio lol

 

[tommykins]

mx2 is the easiest subject to get a band 6 in tbh.

 

[Prashant Sallan]

PLEASE get a band 6 victor. so i can get your mark :rofl2:

 

[Timothy.Siu]

mx2 is the easiest subject to get a band 6 in tbh.

yeah it is. shudn't say this to ppl who dont do mx2 though, or they'll get angry.

let the noobs get angry

 

[untouchablecuz]

knock out Q's 1-6 (usually generic questions anyway) and its usually a band 6 ay?

wat would 100/120 give you as the aligned HSC mark? 95/100?

 

[tommykins]

95+ at least.

has anyone ever got 120/120 raw mark for ext 2 maths?

 

[Timothy.Siu]

has anyone ever got 120/120 raw mark for ext 2 maths?

apparently not.

 

[lyounamu]

apparently not.

Yes it has been done in 1993 by Anthony Henderson + the other person who supposedly equal topped the state with him.

guess i'm wrong, quite a while ago then

 

[Timothy.Siu]

Does generic questions mean just the 4U work, not harder 3U?

How much would a Band 6 in 2U be equivalent to in Extension 2 in terms of scaling?

90 in 2u math is equal to 72 in 4u math

a 90 in 4u is equal to a 97.5 in 2unit
