EAD - B4 - 64% B5 - 74%
EST - B4- 67% B5 - 77%
MGE -B4-66% B5- 77%
MAT - B4 - 64% B5 - 75%
MEX1 - B4- 40/84 B5 - 55/84
SSR - B4- 66% B5- 75%
CHE - B4 - 62% B5 -71%
PHY - B4 - 63% B5- 72%

there is more talk on B6's tbh. but here a guestamations of a few - probs wrong.

Firstly, it's Raw Marks vs Aligned Marks. Scaled marks are those which count to your ATAR (and as you know some people choose not to get an ATAR).

Secondly, it's practically impossible to say what a raw mark cut off will be for an aligned mark as it changes from year to year, exam to exam, subject to subject. You can estimate but this will probably be inaccurate.

This man could not be more correct.

They should be similar year to year.... I mean the demographics shouldnt change that much.. They just want a general idea..

You can guess for English and Modern History etc.
But that's about it.
Maths, Sciences and even Social Sciences vary a lot in difficulty from year to year.

Somebody posted that the aligning process is essentially putting raw marks in the range of 0-100 (or whatever the highest and lowest marks might be) into the range of 50-100 (even though a small % of candidates get <50). Go to the Board of Studies website to see distribution percentages across the bands to get an idea of any trends which may emerge (band 4 tends to be the average/mean band). Not sure if this helps at all.

That is so wrong.

No it isn't wrong. It is what happens during the standards setting or judging process whereby a team of judges uses the exam questions, the performance descriptor bands and the marking guidelines to determine the cut-offs for the bands. The vast majority of students will end up between 50 and 100 but during the marking process the raw marks given are from 0 - 100 (or whatever the top mark is) so the aligning process is the process of aligning raw marks of 0 - 100 to a range from 50 - 100 with a small percentage falling outside that range.

bump, anyone else?
