Business Studies gets scaled down a bit doesnt it? And along with the fact that (i believe) its capped at 98%, you'd be needing to come close to the top in the state to get high band 6?

Unrelated; do u know andrej/vanja in your grade?

Band 6 refers to the mark the Board of Studies gives you. It is the standard that the Board of Studies decides is deserving of a band 6 (90+ on the mark they give you). So it has nothing to do with scaling.

IF that is so, why do people talk of what raw mark will get 90+ in 4u maths for example? Read throughout the 4u maths forums you will find they say stuff like 75% or so will get SCALED to a band 6?

Because the people who said it gets "SCALED to a band 6" is wrong. This is because the Board of Studies mark is what the Board of Studies people determine to be of a band 6 standard, e.g. they may recognise a 50% raw mark in 4U to be a standard worthy of 90/100. It has nothing to do scaling. Scaling = used to determine UAI contribution from the raw mark. The mark the Board of Studies reports to you has nothing to do with scaling. Scaling is just used as a tool for UAC to determine UAI contribution points.

lmao his hsc is over! i think you need an assessment mark of high 90s (98) to get a high band 6 in business (assuming you will kick ass in external)
