Mid-year Exam Results

What do you mean raw or scaled?

The letter grade sticks, as does the numerical value of your grade. It does not change.

The end of year Study Score is what is raw or scaled (study score is raw and subject score is scaled as far as I know)

If you got an A on this exam, it will always be an A

Yeah it does suck. Coz then teachers for your other subjects can find out your scores and grades for all your other subjects, even if you don't want them to know.

That sucks even more.

High A+ just refers to your mark being at the higher end of an A+.
For example, if the A+ range was 80-90 out of 90, we would consider around 86-90 to be a high A+...

It's not an "official" VCAA term or anything.

Basically your numerical score is categorised into a letter score (eg. A+ or A) but say if the A+ cut off was 80/90 and you got 81/90, but someone else got 90/90... your mark would be a LOW A+ and theres would be a HIGH A+. Basically this means that while you both got an A+, there mark was higher than yours and thus if you both performed at the same level as you did both for the mid-year exam (for the end of year exam), they would be lined up for a 50 SS while you would be lined up for a lower range 40+.
Even though you could both have A+ A+ A+.... the actual numerical value of the A+ does change the score that you are given.

So it definitely does affect your ENTER and if you like 'your chances and opportunites'.

In this way, it can be seen that a HIGH A and a LOW A+'s are very similar marks, but one sounds better than the other lol. (sometimes there is only 1 mark differnce etc)

[costargh]

Getting a Statement of Marks (alternatively) allows you to see what mark you got (numerical) , eg. 82/90

So what you mean I got a B for chemistry has that grade been affect by scalling yet or that is my actual proper mark without scalling.

[costargh]

Your letter grades aren't scaled. Your study score is.

Eg. A+ A+ A+ = 42 (raw- before scaling)... might scale up to 47 depending on the subject

It is the study score that is scaled, not the numerical value of the A+'s

[Mikey123]

O really

So you are telling me that I got a B without scalling in chemistry. Omg.

This is something.

To make sure I have understood this

Lets say the exam was out of 100.  I got 70/100 which is the B I got without being moderated against other people.

For the statement of marks,

Do they tell you what you got for each question. ie 4/5

or just the total number of marks you achieved on the whole exam.

Cheers
