I was honestly hoping for a 91-92 and at least a 25 in English language so I could nab a scholarship from the uni I want to go to and got 95.55!!!! I'm so ridiculously happy and that uni has already invited me to the program where I qualify for their highest scholarship. I'm absolutely stoked 😊

Hi pap0007,

This is your raw score.

Raw

You get your scaled score at the end of year 12. Though using the 2016 scaling report - http://www.vtac.edu.au/files/pdf/scaling_report_16.pdf - you can sorta guess what your score scales to.

Biology - 37 raw (38 scaled?)
SO HAPPY! I was expecting MUCH lower, somewhere from 30-35 raw. All those practice exams really paid off!!

HHD - 36 raw (32/33 scaled?)
SO annoyed for this one, thought I would do much better. Felt really good about the exam but I got a B+ which was what let me down. Didn't prepare for it as much as bio though :/

But overall pretty happy.

Does VCAA use your raw or scaled Study scores in determining your ATAR?

It's also worth saying about scaled scores that they're fairly predictable in large subjects. Some of the really small cohort subjects, like the LOTEs flail around everywhere; however, you can be fairly confident that the scaling for biology, or HHD, or any of the maths, any of the Englishes, the science subjects (incl psych) etc etc won't change scaling.
If they do they only tend to shift a point, as I think physics has done the last few years :)

(For year 11's) Are you sure the raw scores from this year get scaled to 2016's cohort? I read on Facebook reports of people getting a lower scaled score for their Year 11 2015 3/4's than expected as the scaled score was recalculated for 2016 (apparently this is the first year they've done this). If this is true, this change makes no sense.

Facebook isn't always the most credible place for information.

Midyear, I was forced into meeting up with my school careers lady and she pulled up my VTAC profile and she checked my scores for the 3/4's I'd already done and on the system, it said exactly what my scores scaled to? (They can't have like predetermined scaling for this year's cohort before people had sat their exam, right?). -- My two cents

Okay, that sounds more logical. Thanks for the clarification.

No worries. Glad you pulled me up on it (just in case I had been wrong -- don't want to be misinforming people.  :) )
