crap atar. But it think a raw 40% would be like 60s or even 70s aligned but I'm just guessing.
40% would
not be in the sixties or seventies aligned. So you're wrong.
2U Mathematics scales similarly to Modern History, at a sclaed mean of about 27/50 or 54/100. Of course scaling is different from aligning, but! Scaling is
more generous than
aligning, not less.
So the aligning on 2U Maths, giving aligned on general maths gives about +3 to your raw score, would be far worse than what you said. People are deluded as to how aligning works. It does
not make HSC mathematics piss-easy, as the aligning scenario you gave would (no offence).
40% raw (HSC examination mark) would
probably be aligned to about 55. Aligning doesn't work like this: add the same amount of marks to any score.
It
does work like this:
line equations (or, possibly, quadratic equations and parabolas, or exponential functions... I'm not sure. But linear aligning would be (obviously) much, much easier to calculate.
