Hi guys, I'm just wondering, if you obtain a raw score of 40, but the subject you're doing means it scales down to 38 for example, will your name appear in the paper or not?

Another scenario is if you obtain a raw score of 35 for Methods, and then it scales to 41, does this mean you're name gets into the paper as well?

My parents are wondering if this is the case or not, and I have no clue if it is or not.

I'm fairly sure the newspaper prints raw scores, not the scaled scores

Newspapers show raw scores of 40+, and only of people who allowed their results to be published

To reaffirm, only raw scores of 40 and more will be published, given that the student gave permission for it to be done.

Greatness

If you are in yr11, raw scores only. If in yr12, both scores.

There will be a table that will give the subject scalings for those uber keen yr11s who want to know the scaling. This table is released sometime after exams.

No need to stress :)

I believe in you sadboy22, I'm quite sure that regardless of your score you're going to succeed in your life and make YOURSELF and everyone else proud of you :D Just remember that when one door closes another one opens, a rule that I believe generally applies to everything we do in life :) Seriously, never give up and you will reach this dream you were always searching for :)

1. It's not the end of the world, there are other alternatives to get to your dream.
2. Why do you have to lie about what you achieve? Be happy for it. Take it as a learning experience because that's what it is, that's what every challenge is.
3. You shouldn't have to lie to your family for them to accept you. Sure they might not be happy if you didn't do as well as you'd hoped, but they'll get over it. Life goes on.
4. A score in the 80s is nothing to be ashamed of, you're still in the top 20% that's a great achievement.

Stop worrying, it's not the end.
