Well, time to look through the paper and this discussion to taunt myself about questions that I got wrong.

Predicted e4 cutoff? Thinking same as last year since difficulty only increased by a bit

Regardless if you fkd up or not, I'm pretty sure everyone here is getting a guaranteed E4, no way you're getting less than 70% raw

Yeah I got D as well, if you just spam in progressively increasing values of y the gradient results in constantly positive values and D was the only one that exhibited something like that
but from this, the answer was C right, with horizontal asymtote?

So a person who got 67 will only be 9 marks off a person that’s got 97? Doesn’t seem very fair to high achievers
I think the way UAC calculates atar from the HSC marks makes it slightly more fair, not sure though

Yea, once scaling gets applied the person whose HSC mark ended up being 100 instead of 90 gets a significantly higher aggregate (which contributes to ATAR)
Pretty sure UAC doesn’t even look at the HSC aligned mark, they only look at the raw marks

I think UAC uses only the HSC aligned mark and then scales that based on their own thing, which is skewed non-linearly from the very high marks (which is what adjusts it so that a student who gets 98-->100 is rewarded over the 67-->90), which is what counts to your aggregrate:

I'm not sure nesa even gives UAC the raw marks? Not sure of this though, don't quote me on that
