it depends on how hard the exam is. for eg- we did an exam at the start of yr 12, and my mark of 48% was 'scaled' to 86%. it was a hardish exam at the time...

Yeh, there really is no way to tell how much a 4u test will be scaled since it depends on a number of factors.
The markers decide what raw mark is needed to get a band 6 depending on what the rest of the candidature get along with the difficulty of the test.
I think those are the factors they consider when scaling 4u.

there is no way that 41% was the highest mark.. the highest mark is usually 110+ out of 120. in 1993 someone actually got 100%.

If anyone has the 4u Excel Fast track book they can check.
Its got a page there where it shows the max and minimum scores of each of the HSC examinations.

4u have very nice scaling. if you are in the top 50% of the state, a mark of 90+ will be used to calculate your uai. very nice.
that aint gonna be me, seeming that i only answer a total of one question in 4unit maths hsc exam. the only reason to this is bcoz me didnt study much. y i didnt is bcoz i already got accepted to uni and didnt really have to stress out in the HSC. i love UOW hehe and their early entry programs
