WACE Human Biology scaling

There is no Year 11 scaled score. For context, the 2025 Year 12 cohort mean was 58.6, below TISC's all-course mean of 60.

Year 11 has no TISC scaling. This reuses the Human Biology Year 12 model as a rough cohort proxy only; it cannot predict a Year 11 result.

Use this only to explore the Year 12 cohort model.

Where to find your score

This is not your school mark or a prediction of your Year 11 result. The model assumes a future Year 12 standardised combined score.
