I think it will be higher, by the sound of "exam thoughts" most people smashed modules.

Modules were quite hard... much harder than most other papers.... there was two reasonably challenging questions as opposed to just one

Yeah, feeling 80/100 is band 6. Btw guys, what do you guys think will be the cut-off for 95? That's what I'm aiming for.

Band 6 I think dropped this year, most people had trouble with module B and C. It was around 78-80/105 last year for a 90, I think this year we're looking at 75-77/105.

I believe that the band 6 cut off for this years paper would lie between 76-78/100.
Band five would be about 64-67/100.

Probably a stupid question, but is this cut off just for the external band 6? And then will this aligned mark be divided by our internal mapped mark to attain our end HSC mark?

There are no stupid questions, great question and the answer is yes. If you score 95 externally, and an 85 internally, you'll get a 90.
