[edwardf316]

So i do standard english. My total trial mark was 96/105 and my internal assessment mark was 91%. Is it possible for me to get a Band 6 or at least an HSC Mark of 85+

85+ yes, band 6 no

School rank?

Anything is possible. No one knows your capabilities, only you do.

You're the one who knows whether you're able to or not.

still extremely rare, std eng is pretty much capped at band 5, but u never know, just try your best, It might happen!

Not really, last year 6.9% of the state got 80 or higher.

Std Cohort for last year was around 27000-28000 people,
therefore number of people who got band 5 or higher last year is 1863-1932, which is pretty good, considering the large majority of standard is low english ability people and a small minority of people who are pretty decent.

You should have done advanced. But anyway, it is very unlikely that you will get a band six. From memory I think three standard students in the state did last year, and that's about average. You'd need to be looking at a mark of 100+ out of 105 to be in contention for a band six in standard English.

Are you topping your cohort?

nope, 130 students got b6 in std last year

b6 is about 87+/105

Really? Sorry, my bad. I think I sourced that from SMH so it was my dumb fault for believing anything in that paper.

No need for an apology
