Just out of curioisty what are we thinking the band 6 cutoffs are for

• English standard
• Math advanced
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Physics

 

[scaryshark09]

• English Standard - 88
• Math advanced - 76
• Chemistry - 85
• Biology - 85
• Physics - 87

i dont do any of these subjects, so some might be off

looks about right for the subjects I did

what subjects did u do

NO I BELIVE CHEMISTRY WILL ALIGN VERY GOOD UNLIKE LAST YEAR
FOR SOME REASON LAST YEARS ALIGNING WAS TRASH

I feel like a lot of people found it easier idk did u find it much harder

 

[synthesisFR]

it depends on what the markers feel i think and the b6 stats i think they want a certain range of % of people getting b6 each year
easy exam doesn't mean bad aligning because 2019 aligned well and 2020 and 2021 aligned well too and 2019 was way way easier even if its new syllabus its easy af questions i think. Imo 2022 was the hardest and it had the worst aliging which doesn't make sense to me. 2023 was i think easier but it probably will have good alignment i have a feeling

why is maths that bad

 

[synthesisFR]

why is maths that bad

wdym bad thats good alignment
76 is so low

 

[nsw..wollongong]

wdym bad thats good alignment
76 is so low

oh wait i read it the wrong way idfk why i read 96

what do we think abt english advanced?

what do we think abt english advanced?

who knows but probs like 84.5 (i hope not much worse)

2019 chem aligned better but scaled a fair amount worse, it balances out. last years chem scaling was rlly good

 

[synthesisFR]

what do we think abt english advanced?

i think it will be 83.5 or similar to previous years
english they just balance out easier questions with how u answer the question so it shouldn't be too different.
e.g refer to 2019 hsc

but aligned marks r what comes in the hsc report so i would prefer aligned marks
thats why its annoying when you get hard exams
e.g it was harder to get 96 for mx1 last year than all previous years and thats just annoying cus people r stupid and dont understand u cant compare aligned marks across years... (i mean thats the goal but its not implemented right)

actually tho with more thinking i think chem will align similar to last year but not less

i hope.
i need 98 in English to fix my poor math performance

 

[scaryshark09]

e.g it was harder to get 96 for mx1 last year than all previous years and thats just annoying cus people r stupid and dont understand u cant compare aligned marks across years

do you think by this logic, that mx1 will align better this year?

wtf 98

 

[synthesisFR]

do you think by this logic, that mx1 will align better this year?

no what i said proves thats not how alignment works
they dont stay consistent within years for some reason
e.g it was harder to get 96 aligned in 2022 than 2021 bc of raw mark differences and exam difficulty
i dont realy how exactly how it works but i just know the answer to your question is no lol
ask jimmy or smth
