    is it true that a 60 raw mark scales to a 90 in extension 2 math?

    a 60 won’t align to a 90, but yes the aligned mark for an E4 (and hence 90) is usually in the mid-high 60s

    Hypothetically, what would happen if for my mod C I write about how much I hate English mod A and B?

    Internals; do they get scaled?

    it’s a moderated mark which is calculated based on your rankings (and the differences between rankings) and your schools hsc exam performance in the subject. for example if you’re ranked first internally and then the highest exam mark in your school is 90 (which could’ve been gotten by you or...

    Transferring from Bachelor of arts Bachelor of advanced studies (languages) to a Bachelor of Psychology USYD

    you don’t have to but it’ll probably shorten your degree, as said above I’d just choose a psychology major in the Bachelor of Arts and then as long as u perform well enough you should be able to transfer without adding any years to you degree or any problems
