HSC Marks (1 Viewer)

[zdf]

Hi,
Is there a way to find out the equivalent marks between two subjects?
For example, what HSC mark in Business Studies would be equivalent to a 92 HSC Mark in Chemistry?

I was on Talent 100 ATAR Calculator and used their 'atar equivalent' column as a means of equating HSC marks but I'm not sure if this is completely accurate

In the image attached, I adjusted the HSC marks so that the atar equivalents are equal and from this I'm getting that a 94 in Business would be equal to a 92 in Chemistry. Firstly, is this a reasonable way of looking at the equivalent mark for two subjects, and secondly, does that seem right? A 94 in business = a 92 in Chemistry

Thanks

Technically yes, buuut its not a good indication and here's why. According to that you would say a 92 in Maths X1 is equivalent to a 92 in chem because of the same atar contribution. However take a look at the percentiles.
It shows a lot more people achieve that in 3U compared to chem AND it still gives the same contribution. Hence showing that 3U its much easier to obtain a better atar contribution compared to chemistry. So the marks are not really 'worth' the same so to speak

However don't quote me on this, someone might chip in if I'm wrong
