raw marks for band 6? (1 Viewer)

[mckensara]

what is the raw mark out of 105 that should get you into band 6?

thanks friends

First, shrink paper 1 (45) into 40. Paper 1 is worth 40% and paper 2 is worth 60%.
Since this year was probably pretty easy, expect mid 80s. 85~/100.

Impossible to tell because the scaling is different every year. I've got no idea but if I was to hazard an uneducated guess, I'd estimate 80+? I'm aiming for a band 4 or 5 (thats really good for me). I think I'll get around 65-70 Anyone know how that will fare in relation to others?

 

[boganxcore]

yeah i've heard that the low band 6s begin around 80/105 - not sure how true that is though!

 

[Macdwg]

I'd say about 88/105 would grab a 90.

Yep thats right. But you should note your 84 may of been marked easy compared to other schools, so who knows how well you actually went in the HSC.

From what I've seen, from people who've appealed for raw marks and that whole Ombudsmen inquiry into disclosure of raw/scaled marks - approx 85% - therefore approx 89~90 out of 105. when i discovered this, i was overjoyed, suddenly a good band 6 looks a lot more achievable

Hmmm, someone who did the HSC in 2005 and got 78/105 for Advanced English, got an 89 external. Hence 80/105 would be about right. Of course, it varies from year to year.

that is possible but the teachers gave no 20s and are hsc markers so i think it is at least pretty close to hsc marking standards...i like to hope i went pretty well in the actual hsc...i'll just ahve to wait and see

 

[Macdwg]

Yeah i spose aerath could be right. First year of new AOS + texts in modules, could mean the avg score is lower and hence a lower score could achieve higher scaled mark. Heres to hoping?

Although we must keep in mind that English is notorious for getting far less band 6's than any other subject (around 6-7% of candidates for advanced, 0.02% for standard), who knows if this is the case with the new syllabus... I really want to get the first band 6 for English our school has gotten in 5 years... my assessment mark is 90 (1st), and i think i did ok in the exam... do I kiss it goodbye just yet?

 

[Melisoverschool]

^ no you don't..anything is possiblei'm at the same rank and mark as you and my school gets 2-3 band 6's a year...so here's to hoping i did enough in the actual exam to get one of them

It's actually impossible to know what your assessment (internal) mark is at the moment.

 

[jessmooka]

Well ok, the one they sent away was 90, my teacher told me...

didn't they tell us at school? :| with the huge list of 200 and all?

Lol awesome. I'd drop it too, but it's compulsory for my school. If I could drop it, I would have in year 11 and taken up MX2 because I'd have more time lol.

they're not meant to tell you. some teachers just break the rules

 

[HadiaWantIt]

Also, I believe the mark is then moderated in regulation with the states performance and your schools performance in the external.

Back on topic.

Hopefully I did enough to get a band 4, My internal was horrible. 54% and 64/93 -.- I wish I cared as much as I do from the start.

But anyways, good luck to everyone, we'll never know till the 17th of december. Hope everyones happy and gets where they want in life. (L)
