[Danger]

what marks for english standard is considered a band 5 and a band 6?

 

[Kujah]

I'm thinking it's like all subjects?

80-89 Band 5
90-100 Band 6

It depends on the band cut-offs, which are determined every year and so are always different.

The raw marks are aligned to each band. It's the aligned marks which follow the Band 5 80-89 etc thing.

So in a particular year they might decide that a raw mark of 72 in Chemistry would just satisfy the description of a Band 5 in Chemistry. So raw 72 becomes aligned 80. They then decide that a raw mark of 83 is just enough to satisfy the Band 6 description, so raw 83 becomes aligned 90. And so on.

The raw cut-off marks for each band vary from year to year, no idea what it'd be like for Standard.

Yehp those are the cutoffs for the bands for your "hsc mark" - the aligned mark.

as to what raw marks you need to get the bands...no one knows

If only FoI applications were approved by the Board of Studies, then we would know.

yeh laz and a few got there's through then they started rejecting them...so we only have raw marks for a couple of years for a small amount of subjects

Which doesn't help that much at all nowdays
