This has no effect. The standards are set independently of this

Mind you that there are no half marks, there is a set criteria for marking and schools set assessments which usually are of different levels of difficulty to the HSC, so 80% at school may be a Band 6 in the HSC, or could be a Band 4 level of effort.

Raw marks are impossible to predict, even with comparable data like the table already posted.
Especially with the new exam format, including some multiple choice... anything is possible.

It would depend on the difficulty of the exam to determine the cut-off. I expect the percentage cut-off to be the same (roughly).
Where did you find this? I know 3U math scales up, but that table is insane.

No.
Hey I seriously don't get this. Does the scaling depend on the exam difficulty? Or does 3U scale pretty well... 50/70 is just about 70%, HOW CAN THAT get you a band 6???
Help!

Because a minority of the state gets above around there, it might sound hard to believe but a lot of schools give easy exams and give a wrong impression on the real difficulty of the HSC.

Of course the alignment in terms of raw starts to hit a bit incline at around 63+/70, where you need a huge difference in marks just to get a few HSC marks difference.
Also many people find it attractive to do the subject because of the insane scaling and alignment and as such more mathematically inept people do it and hence less percentage of the state gets good.

that is completely wrong.
hardly any people do engineering studies and yet the cut offs are disastrously high.
lots of people do chemistry but the cut off is way lower

You are comparing two totally different subjects. Of course by doing that, the statement is 'completely wrong'.
It was aimed to compare the same subject.

You are right but I still believe that you can at least give an indication. Personally, I'd say around 50/70 should get you E4.
