How smart are the top 9% of the state, though? What if the highest exam score for that subject was only an A?
thats not possible because the exam marks are standardized to that years intelligence... IE - If the physics exam was out of 90 and the states highest was only say... 60+
Then 60 - 90 would be made the A+ range

Doesn't necassarily reflect intelligence - more performance.

For example, one year the exam might be really hard and scores are accordingly lower. Doesn't make that year less intelligent.

Costa man, I'm aiming for a 40(+), I bet you'll end up with a 45+ for sure.

You have the skills man. Have some confidence in yourself :)

But lecturers scare with by informing me of everything I don't know! Lol.

Bloody eco and its scariness!

BTW: I don't see what's good about me and I don't know what I've said or done that would give you the impession that I would get 45+ in economics. Fairly unsubstantiated!

Applexy and Marbs for the 40+'s imo

MC is only one third of the exam and they are consistently well handled by most students.

Worst Possible ENTER - 83.95   ( YAY I only need 81).
Best Possible ENTER - 92.60 ( LOL mad as, I barely changed anything from the SS)

Likely ENTER- 88.80

Now I feel much better about Dec 15th (even if these numbers look low to all of you ;))

Is this going to be updated for the new scaling report and ENTER-aggregate table??

I hope so. The scaling last year was better than this year; it kind of gave us a sense that out ENTERs would be better than they really were. :S

actually, no. The scaling was lower this year, but also the aggregates lowered and higher ENTERs were 'easier' to achieve. So it kind of cancels out

i think cas would have gone up to 36 point something which is even more horrifying.

That's annoying... Scaling was like, almost identical then. :(

If this calculator is right, all I need is 31 raw in every subject to get past the 'clearly in' enter for melbourne engineering. GREAT SUCCESS
