What is the raw mark needed to get a Band 5 in Chemistry? I know i am not going to get a band 6 for sure, but i still need a band 5 in chemistry. thanks

Band 5 would be like 48-52.

Band 5 would be like 48-52.

Really? I'd say that's a bit low. A Band 6 for Chemistry would be about a 85, so i guess a Band 5 would be around a 70.

really? out of 100 right. i thought band 5 would be higher than that...lol

Im pretty sure you get scaled down for any subject if you score below 75, thats what teachers say but that doesnt seem right for chemistry or any other hard subjects

wow really 85 for a band 6? That's quite high, i thought it was high 70's like 78

Last year 72 was a reported mark of 90 and it's usually around 74.
Pretty sure 56 went to 82 or something last year.

+1, b6 is low 70s.

so for trails i got low 70s (very similar to HSC marking) i recon i can improve to low 80s for HSC any possibility of band 5?

if you want a band 5 then dont aim for low 80s. Aim for around 60-75. That's if you want a band 5.

And 85 for a band 6? You're off your head mate

Last year a raw 74 was a 91, 78 was 93 and 86 was 96 (according to that raw mark database a user submitted).

85 is definitely too high, but why not aim there anyway and see how you go.

Just do your best mate

So 90 raw for 97?

So 90 raw for 97?

yes. if its a hard exam like last year. but if its an easy exam like 2009, you will need 93-95 raw for 97 scaled.

Yep.

Is 2010 considered the hardest?

Yep.

I think so, but it's not that hard. I got 79 and didn't do a few questions.
