Just wondering... Wat would be the aligned/scaled HSC mark for advanced english and business studies if the raw marks for both were 85%?

For english, its hard to tell because paper one is out of 40%, whilst paper two is out of 60%, so BOS aligns a mark out of 100 and not 105. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say 91 or 92.

For business, its probably around 91 or 92 as well. You should note that aligning standards can vary from year to year.

Yeah I heard about 40% for paper 1 and 60% for paper 2..
I calculated 85% using that ratio, so u r saying its a band 6 with 85% raw then?

I think band 6 is like mid-low 80's but I'm really not sure with english its hard to say.
