Raw marks for exams (1 Viewer)

[BobMac]

Hey everyone.
When doing the HSC past papers what will be a raw mark for a corresponding band 6 in the HSC.
The subjects I'm interested in:
Chem
Phys
Maths 3u
Maths 4u

Currently I'm doing trial papers and

• for 4u I fluctuate in the mid 70's
• for 3u I fluctuate between 70's and 90's
• for phys I'm starting to get high 70's to mid 80's
• and for chem I'm getting high 70's

Where am I currently and how much do I need to improve for that band 6? And don't forget the HSC paper marks needed.

Edit: This is percentage wise

 

[Omnipotence]

Is this percentage wise?

 

[BobMac]

Is this percentage wise?

Yes sorry it is.
E.g. 3u x/84

 

[Omnipotence]

Whoops - this is if it is raw.

4U - High E3 or Low E4 (depends on difficulty of paper since that is a borderline mark)
3U - Mid E4
Physics - High B5 or Low B6 (depends on difficulty of paper since that is a borderline mark)
Chem - Low B6

Alright thanks mate.

why did you say it was percentage wise when you wrote x/84 which implies thats it raw marks?

dubface

Firstly it doesn't concern you.
Secondly what the hell is a dubface? Sad excuse of a call.
Thridly x/84 is the mark I got converted into a percentage. I thought most people would get the times by 100m but clearly some don't.

This sounds about right.

This sounds about right.

Thanks for the input.

70% in 4u = borderline mark? that's 84/120 which i though was a decent mark and pretty much guaranteed band 6 :S

 

[bikinigal]

You're right - last year a raw mark or 84/120 or 70% aligned to a 93 (from a fellow BOSer who got his raw marks & posted them - this was his 4u mark).

last years cut off was 71/120 so yeah, 84/120 is obv a e4

Is the cut off the same for everyone or does it depend on the strength of your school cohort?

It's external, so everyone.

 

[_deloso]

It's external, so everyone.

oh okay cool.
and when they say that it varies every year depending on the strength of the whole cohort that is doing the subject, is the cut-off higher or lower if everyone who does the subject do good.

How do you know where the E4 cut off was for last year?
