Hi guys after observing the exam for english what do you think will be the cut-offs this year


i think they will be lower than previous years because the sheer difficulty especially with MOD B having specified texts and without extracts

what do you guys think

 

[kenkap]

i am praying the band 5 cutoff to be around 65/105

 

[RishBonjour]

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

 

[someth1ng]

It depends, I'd still say it's 80/105.

 

[kenkap]

It depends, I'd still say it's 80/105.

what about band 5

 

[Kieran95]

what about band 5

About 63/105

 

[Joey7]

It depends, I'd still say it's 80/105.

For band 6? I would of thought of it to be higher than that

 

[Kieran95]

80/105 will more than likely get you a band 6

 

[manscux]

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.

Maybe ~93/105 ish.

In 2010 it was 88.62/100. I've attached the raw mark database table so you can have a look at the previous cut-offs.

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.

 

[Safraaz]

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.

yes...but if you are coming first in your school, then it will also be your HSC mark given that u also came first in the externals

From the data base it says 78.86 (i think you made a typo)
