Lol, I think a low band 6 is pushing it just a *little*.
Not necessarily. If they decide to be harsh... Wouldn't be the first time BoS have tried to screw us over. :p

75/105? In previous years we've seen it's been around 85. That'd be some massive screwing around; I do wonder if by 'screw us over' you meant 'write a question we couldn't be bothered to read properly' though.

In my HSC last year I got a mid band 5 (84), and thought that I would have got similar to the trials, which was 85, I think. So if that's any indication, you'd probabaly need more than 75. Unless I went worse than I think I did, who knows?

Well according to the SAM calculator, a mark of 65% scales to 80 apparently, and that's low band 5
