to what extent can i expect my trial results to rise in the actual HSC? (1 Viewer)

[mckensara]

Hey all

i got mostly low 80's for all my subjects, however i expect to get mid 90's.
am i aiming to high?

also, in English i got just above the average of the year in advanced which was 65%, as i got

67% in AOS
75% modules.

yet, i go to a school typically ranked 18th

i can expect this to rise right?!

aim as high as u want imo... what ever will help u get motivated

 

[mckensara]

haha yeah aiming high is all fine and well
i just assume that the average is SO low for all of my subjects
so, in the actual HSC exams it should inflate/moderate

i am just unsure as to how much i should realistically be expecting that to be

its not motivating me to know that my marks right now are 70s for english...

maybe your exams were hard/ harshly marked... if ranks are good and u put effort in u could get very high still =)
personally i can't predict what u may/maynot achieve becasue i dnt know your academic level or effort u are putting in

All i can say is that i found the HSC to be significantly easier than my trials and it showed in my marks.

 

[shell.q]

english teachers say about 2-3 marks in each sepperate essay/story
im hoping mine will rise by atleast 5-6 marks and im going to prove them bitch wrong
but yeah u should be fine with getting 90's

your raw mark isn't your HSC mark.

 

[lyounamu]

Depends on how much/smart u study from now on til HSC and it also depends on how good the day is.

 

[Sarah182]

It is likely that your marks will improve a fair bit in the HSC.
Remember the HSC is usually easier and we still have 5 weeks to study.

you do 13 units yeah? they'll only take ur best 10 so if you are only flunking one don't worry bout it. oh, but they do take english lol...

There was this guy who got 63% in his English Trial, yet he got 94% in his HSC exam. It's never too late.

 

[jes.h]

The rule of thumb is that you improve 15% from mid course exams to trials, and then a further 10% from trials to HSC, with hard study.

Then again, m pretty sure my mid course exams were better than my trials...

Just remember that the HSC mark you see is not your raw mark, but some sort of scaling would have been applied to it. So theoretically, your mark would increase without you doing anything (since you're being compared to the rest of the state's performance).
