Mean scaled scores are out of 100, from the TISC 2025 Course/Subject Statistics Summary (TR320C). This is not a raw-mark conversion — open a course for its percentile distribution. Some interstate-language courses have very small cohorts, so their means come from only a handful of students — open a course to see its candidate count.
