German: Background Language scaling FAQ
Scaled scores are out of 100 from the TISC 2025 Course/Subject Statistics Summary — Scaled Scores for Specified Percentiles (TR320C). Scaled-score distributions from TISC’s 2025 course statistics (report TR320C). TISC and SCSA standardise combined marks before scaling, so WA publishes no raw-mark-to-scaled-score conversion — for any raw mark there is a range of scaled scores. These figures are indicative of how a course scaled, not a per-mark lookup. Re-stamped when TISC releases the new statistics each year.
