40.88??!! WTF I GOING ON??
I thought it will get scaled up at least 10, NOT FUCKING 8!! PLUS THIS YEARS WAS FUCKING HARD!!
-
I got 40 which scaled to 47.92, and my friend who got 38 got scaled to 49, wtf is going on?
-
.. I have a bad feeling about this. I wonder how many results vcaa/vtac fucked up. Now I'm sure they screwed up mine.

l0l?
-
Seriously, someone send VCAA a complaint. I need that 98. :D
-
Wait, i think because im doing 3 maths. So it scales less
-
29 to 37.64
-
i got exactly that too
(this is Glock btw)
-
max is 53.03, so much lower than previous years
-
JUST CAUSE U GOT 50
-

That's not how it works. You're lowest out of the three would just be forced to contribute 10% (assuming those maths are your highest).
-
Yea, I know that. my further is higher than my physics but further is counted as 10%. Im still puzzled how my friend could have beaten me when i got higher Raw.

must be a mistake, or hes lying.
The exams were harder so whats up with the scaling??

if this is seriously true, vcaa has serious problems.
are you 100% sure? not mistaking anything?
if you are sure, then contact your principal.
as if a higher raw scales to a lower score.
wait did your friend get special consideration or whatever its called. derived score ? etc
-
Ah sorry guys, she made a mistake, its 46 not 49. And yes, i expected some higher scaling for spesh this year.
-
no worries.
=]
-
fk whats wrong witht he scalling this year/....... that was a fking hard exam..........
-

Way to break my chances of suing VCAA. jks. Someone should really ask them, why scaling was lower this year considering it was a much difficult exam to last year.
-
yeah i got 38 aswell, -> 46

Oops, sorry lol. While we think it's hard, there's apparently lots of people who thought it was easy and did well so yea.
-
Wow, you guys got jibbed. In my year, my 43 scaled to a 52 :D

The scaling has nothing to do with how difficult the exam was.
-
But if many people did well then it would scale less wouldnt it?
-
41->48.62 would have expected 50, oh wellz.
-
Ekkk... My 26 got scaled to 34... Would have gotten better doing business or something. :P
-
But if many people did well then it would scale less wouldnt it?
NO.
-
I thought it was based on competition, and not on difficulty? There was that scaling pamphlet.. something about seeing what the average was for all their other subjects or something. Gotta go find it.

Yep
-
How do you work out the exact scaling?
-
But if many people did well then it would scale less wouldnt it?
NO.
Agreed... that's not how it works, I'm afraid.

I guess not everyone found the paper hard?
I got 33 - 41

Lol... I noticed that... and an utterly memorable 1 it was XD ::)
...and in a thread that isn't even spelt rite ;D
-
So what are we saying is the reason for a lower scaling cause it all but killed my hopes of getting into my course lol

No, this thread... :-S
-
so was the scaling so different?
-
this is bullshit. all i know is that we got ROBBED.
-

High end ENTERs, a lil change in scaling can make a whole lot of a difference...
-
The scaling i found, was lower across most subjects compared to last year. As a result the aggregate has also lowered to achieve that particular enter. Hence, lower scaling has no effect on your ENTER score at all. Stop complaining!
-
Hehe, I guess you didn't need a language or spec this year to get 99.95? :P

This is one way to do it!

*edit* I'm not actually sure she got 99.95 ... if not she was VERY close; it is dependent on how much Further was scaled down (but based on the fact that (45)[44], it would seem that it is scaled down by 1, in which case she just makes the cut)
-
Haha if five 50's doesn't get you 99.95 I don't know what will...
