I was just wondering what the feed back to the HSC story was the week before, I saw a GLIMPSE of it but not much, could someone explain it please if they saw it ? I'm very curious
I don't think I'm using it right, either that or it's fucked up.
Each assessment mark/exam mark line is seperate from the next right ? Because when I enter all of the collums full it changes the values of some of them when I just have the top two filled in.
What you have to remember is that the UAI is a rank, and the marks are used ( raw marks ) to assign the relative difference between the students, but yeah if there is a particularly hard exam, students will have lower marks and the scaling for that course will be higher than if it was an easy...
france, haha
Yeah I like how it's done, although it does place a lot of pressure on the HSC exams, because that's the only true marker to compare students.
Is it three years ? I know in bio it's 5 - where they have to examine certain dot points over the 5 year period, meaning there will be a lot still common in each exam.
At the moment I'm going over the '01 and '02 exams and preparing answers for the multiple mark Q's
Thanks but - if you've been reading I was attempting to explain this to others - I understand it perfectly. And I've already sat and test, and went very badly.
Yeah I've thought to myself that I have to get my UAI on 8 units, essentially.
I'm a bit disappointed at that.... UAI seeker tells me a different story - but the reason I started this thread was to see if it was still accurate with me putting in 20% for maths.
Also, RageRunner - what do you think I'll get ? Keeping in mind I really did not study much for trails/assessments ( except for bio ) - these will be my best prepared exams.
No i just went badly in maths, I'll get maybe, 20% in the HSC, heh, but what I'm asking is, if I do good in my other subjects can I still get a good/decent UAI. ( 70-75 )
krissy - school assessment marks mean nothing in determining your final mark, only in terms of rank.
And, I know I...
I know that if your year performes well in a subject ( above state average ) then you will all benefit from better scaling, but what happens if only say, the top 10% of your year performes really really well, will they be brought down and pull everyone else up, or will they only benefit from...
Sorry you're wrong, refer to this post if you don't believe me: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6176
If then you STILL don't get it, ask Laz.
I don't think you fully understand what I mean...
Rank DETERMINES what your "HSC assessment mark" will be. In class school assessment marks mean NOTHING in terms of your final HSC result, only rank ( As I have explained above )
I know this - you're just not understanding what I'm saying.
I'm saying the mark you get in school assessments is meaningless, it just depends on your rank.
This rank then determines your "School Assessment" mark
For example I could average 50% in a subject and be placed 5/50, now when...
