state rank raw marks (1 Viewer)

Hey guys, im aiming for a state rank in MX1 this year, and I was wondering if anybody knows what raw score on the external usually gets someone a state rank (and dont just say 100%, I mean the lowest raw mark)? I go to a selective high, ranked top 30, my course average is nearly 98% and second in the cohort is about 94%. Would I actually need 100% on externals to get a state rank?

You will need 95+ raw.

I know people that got about 99 HSC mark and probably 99 raw for that matter and no state rank :/ it definitely depends on the cohort every year though!

edit: and how easy/hard the exam is. Obviously, if the exam is difficult, the requirements for a state rank will be lower. Also for a really good chance at state ranking, you'll probably have to look at being first in your cohort.

I am currently first by a lot, there is very little chance that i won't be by the end of trials. I'm more concerned with the externals, but yeah i guess i hadn't thought about how much it would vary from year to year. I'll just make 96 my minimum goal then carrotsticks

be aware that your 4U marks is also taken into account when the 3U ranks are distributed (since there would be around 10-20 getting 100% in the externals)
