Raw Mark for Band 6 last year? (1 Viewer)

[braindrainedAsh]

Can anyone tell me what raw mark one needed to get band 6 in the 2002 HSC paper? it's just I did it as a practise and I wanted to get an idea of what mark I need out of 120 to get a band 6.

 

[coroneos]

Yeah I want to know as well. I have been looking and asking around for yonks.

 

[Lazarus]

No-one knows.

Seriously.

id say we need 110/120 to get band 6 for an average paper... hopefully ill be concentrating enough to minimise the stupid errors n i'll be forced to nut out the hard ones unlike giving up at home...i really wanna get band 6...get in the paper n all!

 

[coroneos]

110/120 is not EASY to get at all!

Last years paper, 95/120 is reasonable for band 6 cutoff?

I don't think so, I think a raw mark closer to about 100/120 will get u at least 90 as an aligned exam mark. I say this because I got anywhere between 95-100/120 in my HSC exam, and I got an aligned mark of 89. But again, this could change this year, depending on performance

edit: coroneos has got the idea

 

[coroneos]

which year was your paper? 2002?

 

[Minai]

yes.

I remember not even doing Q10 coz I had no idea at the time

 

[Lexicographer]

You didn't do question 10 at all? And still got between 95 and 100? Way to go Minai!

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Phew!!! All this talk of 110+ was freaking me out.... I got approx 110 on the paper, but in an exam I would drop marks for silly mistakes and stuff...

I got 106 in my trial, so I'm crossing my fingers for a band 6 in this subject... perhaps I should go study lol.

i made a post of this and ppl told me 95-100 is bout band 6 cut off. 20% of ppl last year got band 6. Do you REALLY think 20% of the state got a mark of 110+ ...I dont think so. I reckon 100 and u'll be sweet 4 a band 6

I rang advice line last night and asked... He said we are looking at just over 100/120

Cheers

 

[Supra]

oh sic band 6 shouldnt b too hard to get (unless the paper is frickin hard)
Doesnt it also depend on how u went at scool and stuff, im only doin the hsc in maths, and thats wot we were told

 

[slyball]

ONLY 100 / 120!?! cheerin' seriously, i thought last years paper was extremely easy... which means they're probably going to beef this years paper with harder/longer/trickier questions.

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I thought the last question was a bitch though last year... too much algebra... I hate messy questions like that!!! It's so easy to make little mistakes.

 

[coroneos]

yeap. I range up advice line and they said mid to high nineties will get you into a band 6.

 

[Josh17]

that seems ridiculously low to me...although, i dont really have an idea

There is no set mark that you must get above. It all depends on how the state performs on this particular test. They will then award the top percent a band 6. I'm not sure what percent get band 6, but i think it is 10%. So if the test is easy you might need to get above 110/120, but if it is a hard test you may need only above 90/120

That's completely wrong.

I KNEW IT. i'd been preparing for the worst, but the worst is worse than what i thought was worst.
