i was thinking because it was a hard test if everyone goes dogs balls then the mark needed might be lower than 90... eg, in 2004 the band 6 cutoff was 84

id think about 87 - the multiple choices, short answers and report were relatively easy...but the extended response was the big differential

I would agree. 82-84 sounds reasonable

As much as I'd like that, I don't think it will be lower than 86... Multiple choice was real easy, short answers were quite easy as well... Report wasn't terrible, and most people wouldn't lose 8 marks more than normal on the final one alone... Unless they done Q27.

impossible to judge, youd have to know your raw marks, and your raw marks in relation to the entire cohort (16 000) and then you would have to know the formula for aligning and the whole bell curve system.







but seeing as were guessing =]
88

I doubt it will be anything lower than 85.
The 2004 exam was harder than this, imo.

My guess is 88.
Difficult to guess, it could be anything, depending on how your and your school performed, in relation to the cohort. Anyone notice the last of stimulus that they normally have in the short answers? Some of the questions were a bit odd? Business is all about justifying your response isn't it?

I think that it'll be 89-90. The test wasn't hard. They won't align the test just because they tested topics which a few people in the state didn't bother to focus on. Although the topics were weird and weren't worded to well, they were fairly reasonable questions which an average student could answer.

Well, multiple choice wasn't too hard.

Short answer; asking 6 mark and 4 markers for tiny dot points ie the ASX and casual staffing and debt financing (not that small but not very big) - i can't see very many people getting full marks for this section, depending on whether they mark it hard.

Extended responses - difficult in some aspects.

Overall i don't think you could say it was an "easy" test in relation to the previous years; it was harder than average.


Raw mark will have to be lower than 90. I can't see it dropping below like 87 though. So probably like 88.
