same looking back the questions were doable just fcking exam conditions stressed me out and made a couple silly mistakes. now im kinda worried the alignment wont bless me up

no literally same i read them against last night and was like oh this isnt even that bad ...

ikr but tbf we will always think we couldve done better looking back ig if everyone couldnt do well in exam conditions alignment might still be good

Def b6 U chilling prob like 93

you reckon because like everyone else is saying low 80s is b6 but I swear this test was the hardest yet

 

[oscccc22]

Added mine up got 97 raw

idk its hard to predict. i got around 75 raw so im praying b6 too. u will def get high b5 tho so dw

[geo314]

what would a 93-94 raw scale to?

here is a clean version of the paper

dont say that. i need good allignment this year.

Surely question 8 is C right? Cause the boxplot can look like that, but for C, it's multimodal.

i don’t think so - all the data sets had the same 5 number summaries except for D. the 5 number summary forms the box plot so it would have to be D.

I got around 70 raw, but I think it might still be possible for me to get scaled up to 90. I am ranked second in my school cohort, but I did not perform very well at all on this exam, so I fully expect more than one other person from my cohort to have scored higher than me. If the second-highest score from my cohort in this exam is no lower than 78, I will take the average of their mark and my mark to get 74. And, in 2021, a 74 scaled up to 90, as you can see at rawmarks.info/mathematics/mathematics-advanced/.

Side note: Multiple people have suggested that the 2024 exam was harder than that of 2021 and are expecting the scaling to be more generous than any prior years. However, I would think that students in 2021 were likely taught to a lower standard than we have been this year due to COVID, so the ratio of exam difficulty to student capability will be approximately the same as it was this year.

My point is, assuming that scaling is equivalent to 2021 (when it could potentially be more generous) and assuming that the second-highest mark from my cohort was 78 (when it will likely be higher), it is still possible for me to get scaled up to a 90 with a 70 raw mark. Let me know whether you think this is realistic.

Don't give up, guys. Keep it in perspective, hope for the best, and push on.

looking back at the paper, holy that was not that hard

This is copium 70 raw cannot scale to b6 esp since 2021 you needed a 74. It also determines on the factor of if your cohort did good or bad, and if your ranked second and got a raw 70 it probably means others scored lower than you due to your favourable position. The maximum your mark would scale to would possibly be 86-87 realistically.

Yeah, I'm not expecting scaling like that, I'm just hoping for it lol. In 2021, a raw 70 scaled up to 88 anyway so I won't be too far off.

 

[Solarised]

what about like 65

Realistically a 65 will align to around 83

Most likely a raw 70 would go to 85-86

 

[cute lil monkey]

Realistically a 65 will align to around 83-85 mark but more likely at the lower end

So would this aligned mark be averaged out with the aligned mark that my rank gives me?

Your rank can either push this up or down depending on cohort strength and of course your overall rank for mathematics advanced

i pray i get scaled up to like a 85-86 final hsc mark we got accel kids so hopefully

what do you think cut off will be this year?
