Scaling and the ATAR
In the 2025 HSC, Chemistry had a mean HSC mark of 37.6 and a mean scaled mark of 32.0 out of 50.
Where marks are lost
The same patterns show up in marked work every year:
- โ Equilibrium questions without Le Chatelier reasoning stated
- โ Titration and pH calculations with unit or significant-figure errors
- โ Organic reaction pathways confused
- โ Extended responses without a clear structure
- โ Data questions answered from memory
