Is she talking about assessment, external or the actual hsc marks?

 

[~Han~]

she was talking about the actual hsc mark (external exam + internal marks)

So for example
if someone gets a mark of 85 internally
and 96 externally
they wont get a band 6??
LOL

shes prob talking bout raw exam marks?

Ah thanks now I understand.

But with that post Without Wings you're insinuating that your aligned mark would be lower than your raw mark. Is that normally the case? Because I know the raw mark for Maths Ext 2 always seems pretty low in comparison to other subjects but then the scaling always seems to push them up to a band 6

thanks for clearing that up! i was pretty adamant when i was discussing with my teacher that you definitely need >90 for band 6. she probably was talking about internal marks.

@ ~Han~ - you might wanna help yourself and others by not having 1998 as your HSC year
