So for English Adv, I am currently ranked 8 and my school only usually gets around 5 Band 6's each year (also what my teacher predicts). Hypothetically, even if i am not in the top 5 internally, can i still be one of the 5 to get a band 6?
Here is roughly the situation:
Rank 1: Internal of 90. Hypothetical mark of 96
Rank 2: Internal of 90. Hypothetical mark of 94
Rank 3: Internal of 88. Hypothetical mark of 93
Rank 4: Internal of 87. Hypothetical mark of 92
Rank 5: Internal of 86. Hypothetical mark of 91
Rank 6: Internal of 85. Hypothetical mark of 89
Rank 7: Internal of 84. Hypothetical mark of 88
Myself: Rank 8: Internal of 83. Hypothetical mark of 94

Basically, I got by far the highest mark in the trial but screwed up the first two assessments hence why my mark is not great.

Hope this all makes sense

to be honest, if your trials were the highest then theres a high chance your exam mark will be the highest...but since your internal is so low youd have to do really really well in exam to balance that average out to 90+. 94 is a little too low unless scaling RELALY works in your favour and the cohort marks here are looking pretty okay in terms of scaling, but i'd say aim for a 97 and upwards to truly ensure the b6. eng adv is so hard dw 😭 my internal is like an 88 but my trial was liike 83 lol
