Baulkham Hills student Syed Ahmad spent two years analysing HSC scaling and average scores. Then he sent the Herald an email.
has charted average scores across subjects and highlighted some schools achieving strong results across their whole student cohort. While it aims to present a broader snapshot of results, it does not include schools showing improvements over time or other metrics to show different achievements.
“Usually, it’s just band 6 results that are reported, and that’s all that is publicly available. But only band 6 data was inadequate for me since it failed to give a full view of performance by only reporting data for the top band of students.”Ahmad was particularly driven to know more about average scores, and scaling, in two of his chosen subjects: software design and development; and information processes and technology.
“I really wanted to do technology subjects because I enjoy them. But there isn’t much data about them, or even many of my peers that I could talk to about the subjects.”
