Possibly even lower. I'd say 80 is a good bet.

well if williamc is right in saying only 15% of the state get band 6 .. I'm guessing mid to low 80's too .. considering it's the kind of subject where people either go really well or do not so well .. there isn't that many in the middle.

I agree with you.
Im from a public non selective school. Half of my class left the exam room 1 hr before the exam finished

so assuming from your judgements of band six between 80-100 then Band 5 would be ?

It's impossible to know your internal mark, its all dependant on the external exam and how your cohort does. id say band 6 would be more like 87 and above maybe. Depends a lot on how they mark it..... wow what an obvious assumption lol

Haha, Internal marks = internal assessments and trials.
External (meaning outside, like external stability; go figure sluts) = HSC Mark

Then they calculate your UAI based on your cohorts performance and your rank, then the combined Internal and external mark.

Isn't that how it rolls?
