they don't have it for sac. only for the high marks in sac tho so idk. Like would a raw 75 scale to a b5. But sac def scales worse than business and bio

wait im confused how scaling works now. i got a 95 last year, and found out i lost 1 mark in the exam and 4 from my major. but like what does it mean by scaling bc my hsc and exam mark were both 95 ??

i dont understanding how nesas stupid scaling system works lol im just winging everything

scaling is done after alignment. so the HSC mark you get is the alighned mark and then scaling happens but the scaled mark isnt released to you. That scaled mark is used to calculate the aggregate which in turn is used for atar.

that's alignment. Scaling is when they use ur aligned mark and scale them to calculate ur atar

so the scaling is after all the individual hsc marks r returned?

yeah I think so

I created a thread for my dropping sac vs bio dilemma so if u wanna contribute then feel free to check it out

yeh. alignment depends on how everyone did in the exam in that specific year so they standardise what a band6 mark would be raw.
then scaling is to adjust for the difficulties of certain subjects. so for example physics has better scaling than bio.

so a HSC mark of 85 in phsyics will scale more than in bio.

help I need some ideas for my DT major work. Anyone that's done DT, what did u do?

lol I did dt and the workload was the absolute worst, but I ended up ranking 1st anyways
for my project I made a medical product and an app to accompany it (I regret doing both)
however, most of my classmates did architectural works or redesigns of community facilities...

just some general advice, you should explore more mdp ideas first and pick the one that's most achievable and interesting
also don't procrastinate until the deadline like I did... goodluck tho !!

I’m actually considering those options

I'm so damn confused by the scaling, I know y'all just discussed it but like, is the HSC mark we get back different than the mark that affects our ATAR???

im pretty sure yeah like the atar contribution is different and they dont give that out
