Anyone who got 45 in Methods...I need your help

[nerd]

As I'm in year 11, I can't access my scaled marks. So I was wondering, anyone who got 45 in regular Methods - could you please tell me what it gets scaled up to? Thank so much!

according to the scaling report, 48.

Gah. It scales according to next year's scaling report, not this year's!

[Flaming_Arrow]

it does?

[username]

it does?

Yup. It's dependent on everyone's performance each year.

Doesn't it scale against this years (2008) cohort? ie. The cohort of the year you sit the exam. Also, where did you access the 2008 scaling report?

i ogt a 46 and it scaled to 48.3

if u did methods this year then the scaling applied to it would be relevant to this year's exam dificulty, competition etc. in other words this yr's scaling applies to u not next yr's.

Scaling report for 2008, which effects you.

wrong. it's this years scaling that applies to any 3/4 subjects you did this year. You completed against students this year not next year in your particular subject.
 I don't know were you're getting the info about next year scaling humph but it's incorrect.

humph seems to have some credibility...it doesn't really matter... but yes, of course your curious.

YOU ARE SCALED ACCORDING TO THE YEAR YOU COMPLETED THAT SUBJECT. no more debating

Sweeeeeeeeet.

Yeah I was wrong - I was just saying from what I remembered I'd been told in yr12, but either they've changed it since then or I was told wrong. This has been confirmed in about 5 threads so far...
