Scaling Report

[nerd]

Does anyone know when the scaling report comes out? Or can someone who got 45 raw in Methods (normal) tell me what their score was scalled up to?

Thanks

2008 scaling report:

According to this, a study score of 45 in methods gets scaled to a 48

Yeah, i looked at that but its the 2007 scaling report not the 2008 one!

try clearing your cache and then reloading it

If you're a year 11, then your 45 will be scaled according to the 2009 scaling report, not the 2008 one (even though you did the subject in 2008).

[rargh]

no, your subject score is scaled based on the year you did it. my vce co-ordinator told us.

Are you sure that is correct? So if a 45 goes to 48 this year, it might go to 49 next year?
I just don't think it's fair, that's all. Two different exams get scaled the same?

Also, it says 40 gets scaled to 45. Does that mean 42 gets scaled to 47?

Pretty certain that's not true, unless they've changed it since 2006. The subjects I did in 2005 scaled according to the 2006 report, not the 2005 one.

I'd be extremely surprised if 45 went to 49 next year, I don't think that's happened since 2002.

Just a heuristic argument, as 40 goes to 45 and 45 goes to 48, you'd expect 42 to go somewhere slightly less than halfway in between 45 and 48 - maybe 46.4 or so?

Using daniel15's method of linearly approximating scaled scores:

42 raw = 45+2*.6 = 46.2

Look at Specialist's mark-up, it's *so* low compared to what it is usually! [+9]

gratz on getting 99.95

Wow another 99.95 Congrats.

Okay thanks a lot I think I'm fine with that.

Just tell your parents that 42 scales past 46, and if you get 46 after scaling in every subject then you'll get an ENTER over 99.00

i think that's incorrect humph. I've heard that if you do a subject in e.g. 2007 and you complete VCE in 2008, the scaling of that 2007 subject will be based on the scaling report of 2007 not 2008 since you competed with that cohort.
