Special guest, Graham Wright joins me to discuss how HSC scores are assessed and scaled in NSW. He explains how scores are not comparable across subjects and can vary greatly in their contribution to an ATAR below Band 6. Graham provides insights into exam marking processes and emphasises supporting student success through teamwork and understanding the HSC system. Episode Highlights:

• HSC scores indicate band achievement levels, not raw exam scores
• Subject contribution to ATAR can vary significantly below Band 5
• Highest achievers set standards for whole cohort
• Friendly competition benefits students more than cutthroat approaches
• Understanding how a subject scales can help with goal setting
• 2022 was an anomalous year for harsher PDHPE exam marking
• CAFS often contributes most to student ATARs of any 2-unit subject
