Mod A, B and C were pretty good. Why is NESA being so easy on us though? Like Common Module was a generic question and Mod C was an imaginative. Hopefully they take the marking light as well hehe :)
Maybe they scaled down the difficulty of the questions to upscale the quality of marking XD

What do you guys think around 65-70 raw mark will equal for the HSC mark? If I could get 80 HSC mark eng I would be very happy and get bonus points but idk if that's unreasonable or not. I got 61 raw for trials and I feel like I did better in this.

according to rawmarksdatabase 70 scaled to 81 last year (for adv)

Ye I'm afraid that those marks are inflated from scaling from good schools tho, maybe I did better than 65-70 anyway so idk
ion get it how can they be inflated if it’s their raw mark from the hsc exam?

Ur thinking of two different processes. Rawmarks -> external exam marks is aligning, which is consistent across the entire cohort (i.e. doesn't matter which school you go to). On the other hand, moderation does take into account the performance of your school.

Basically the marks on that site are aligned examination marks only so yeah no need to worry.

Fairly sure they're not, that process is same across all schools.
Yes but I'm pretty sure that ur atar uses the HSC mark which is both aligned and moderated. If my school sucks my 81 or 80 could get put down to a 79 or something which would be very annoying.
