As I said, very rough estimate.

Lazarus got 79/100 in 2001 with a mark of 67/105.

yes... it's all very speculative like lazarus said... because aligning is determined by the difficulty of the test...

English tests don't vary -that- much in difficulty when compared to Maths - I think it might be how anal the markers are a particular year.

compare last year's paper to previous years :mad1:

last years test was meant to be hard?

I'm betting that because of the new concept of Belonging and changes in the other modules that this year will kept pretty well to the rubric... hopefully not too hard

Oh thank god! I've been averaging 67% in exams in English this year... Well, to be more accurate, got 67% all 4 papers (2 paper 1, 2 paper 2) that I've done this year... Was thinking that would be terrible and ruin my ATAR... Rank 7/53 or so aswell, so should be fine now

Sorry to butt in but on this topic, I was wondering how well I would have to do to get a band 6. I'm ranked 1/22 in Advanced and my raw assessment mark is 89.5...??? Just curious.

doesnt english advanced scale down really badly.. if you get less than like 70s or maybe 80s?

I don't think it scales down for your aligned mark, but if you aligned mark is under 70-75 it scales bad for your UAI?
