Title: Maths methods scaling
Post by: TiffanyF01 on December 15, 2014, 09:54:19 am: Hey guys
So I completed methods this year in year 11 and therefore don't know how my raw mark scaled. Does anyone know the scaled mark for 40, 45 and 50? Thankyou ☺️

45 = 49
50 = 50

By my calculations, it should scale up to a 38.2. Granted, the scaling report seems to be giving some contradictory information, so you could actually scale up to 39 or 40.

Post by: swaggy_king69 on December 16, 2014, 10:14:53 pm: so if 35 went to 41, 34 would likely go to 40?

Presumably your cohort as a whole performed worse on the exam than they did in their SACs, to such an extent that, as far as VCAA can tell, an A on your SACs is roughly equivalent to a C+ on the exam.
