I'll jump in here. Based on half-yearlies (went a bit better in assessments before that but nvm). Not sure about class sizes for the bigger ones, these are pretty close.

English Adv - 1/26 - 80% :):)( but I intend to pull this up - first 2 assessments were closer to 100 than 80. I can returnnnn to gloryyyy!)
English 3u - 3/6 - 85%
English 4u - 1/3 - 95% (for the proposal... sooo doesn't count haha)
Modern History - 1/19 - 96%
Society + Culture - 1/7 - 90%
IPT - 2/40 - 91%

Cruddy school :D but I still loves it
looks like you killed the exam
i wouldnt worry too much about the marks yet...even though theyre pretty good, but ill just focus on getting the best rank as possible, and by the looks of it, youre doing just that
you have your rank so far for each of your subjects up to this point?
you keep this up and im sure that youll get 90+ easy

decent ranks youve got there....11 units, so it looks likely at this stage that your ext english would count and 1 out fo 2 units for adv english would count
looking good so far for 90+, so keep working hard at it :)

How does scaling work? Do they compare your marks compared to your class or to the grade as a whole?

Also, how do they calculate the best 10 units if your doing 11 units and the worse 1 is a 2unit subject?

Scaling works to make the system fair whatever subjects you are doing - ie if people doing a subject tend to do well in their other subjects, then it will scale up. This makes it fair as people doing that subject are competing with better students.

Moderation of assessment marks is compared to the whole grade (everyone who does that subject at your school).

The mark for your worst subject will be halved, making it worth one unit.

See the following threads:

http://community.boredofstudies.org/134/uai-hsc-marks-technical-arcana/60687/scaling-faq.html

EDIT: Too slow :p

Srry to drag up this kinda old thread but... predictions please:

Business Studies: 80%, 4/60ish
English Adv (killing me): 63%, rank not good average is about 68% with 50 odd students
General Maths: 90%, 1st...ish out of 50-60
Legal Studies: 92%, 1st or 2nd outta 6
Modern History: 70%, dunno rank average is like 67% with 20 students (mark on the way up...trust me)

I'm hoping for mid 80's, I wont get that with these marks will I?

P.S. School not in top 200

Mmm, not that sure, but probably 70-80ish? They're not the best scaling subjects (From experience, seeing as I did Legal, English Adv, Modern and Business).
