Hi I have a quick question regarding this topic for example in 2015 aligned general maths mean mark was 35.7 however the scaled mean was 21.7 does this show the exam mark drops dramatically or do I have it wrong
Thanks

Aligned mark is to do with the Band cut-offs with the exam marks and such, and then the scaled mark comes from UAC. It's nothing to do with the exam marks by that point really, it's just UACs process, and it scales down like that for most subjects :)
