Pick up to four courses and set a mark. The bold line is the year you choose; faint lines are the other years, so you can see how steady each course is.

Reading scaling properly

Scaling reflects how strong a course’s students were across all their courses. It doesn’t reward a course for being hard. A strong mark in a course you’re good at nearly always beats a weak mark in one that scales well.

Your place inside a course never changes. If you beat 80% of the course in HSC marks, you sit in the same place in scaled marks.

Marks come from hours
