Chemistry and physics - raw needed for band 6. (1 Viewer)

[x.Exhaust.x]

What are the "approximate" raw marks needed to score a band 6 in both Chem and Phys?

i think 83 for both

Don't think its thats low. I'd think about 86-87. But tbh not really sure.

I'm pretty sure it is that low.

same =p
my teacher told me, and i think annabackwards said she has heard for phys, around 83 is band 6

What about marks around 95? What raw marks are required for that kind of mark?

I'm guessing high 80's or low 90's. Don't quote me on this .

 

[shady145]

for 95 i think 90-91

for 95 i think 90-91

Wow, I thought raw marks >94ish% scaled even. As in 94%=94, 96%=96, 98%=98. I guess 95 seems quite an achievable aim then.

lol, yeah probably 83ish for band 6.
its not gonna be 90...we only had one person get 90 this year and we had 40 band 6's last year for chem.

Yeah and i was told 85 is the usual cut off for chem by a HSC senior marker ^^

For the 2005 chemistry exam, the band 6 cut-off was 78/100, which was achieved by 8.3% of the state.

But you won't know whether you're capable of achieving that raw mark unless you sit the 2005 exam and mark it yourself. The cut-offs are different for every exam.

where would my chem and math band range from the interal raw marks on ma sig?

Cannot predict using raw marks of school exams. Difficulty of school exams tends to vary alot, and unless you did CSSA papers, there is hardly any comparison between you and the state.

ok thanx. But does anyoner know as whether my internal raw marks get scaled up or down (the marks r on my sig).

Again, no one can predict. Depends on your cohort's performace and the relative difficulty of your school's exams.

soooo sori im jsut so worried how im gonna go. i mean i reeeeeeeeally hop i can get an ATAR>65

Helllooooo Everyone

What would you get scaled up to if you got 70% in the HSC???????
P.S to the dude before this, english, mathematics are not scaled
Only really easy (like food tech) or really hard subjects (like physics) are scaled

P.S all subjects are scaled by UAC, just to different degrees. I think what you mean to say is that subjects that are often deemed as of middle difficulty are not excessively scaled.

lol
u should have put mathematics extension two there
