Band 5 Cutoff (1 Viewer)

[fishy89sg]

hey guys i was just wondering what raw mark you need in english extension 1 to achieve a band 5, or around 83's, giving an educated guess from past trends

i dont know what any trends for english extension are, so that is why i am posting it

THANKS for your help

Hmmmm

To my knowledge, they basically don't release raw marks unless you specifically request it (and this is only occasionally granted - in the case of James King, BOS admin Team Leader, they refused because they knew he'd be smart enough to figure out the scaling thing ).

However, it's a relatively good estimate to follow this example - B4 in EE1 is about 45-50, B3 is 40-45, and so on.

Scaling can also affect marks.

oh i mean

what raw mark do i need to get a scaled 80 mark

It changes every year. It depends on the difficulty of the exam and how the canditure performs.

i dunno about band 5 (E3 i presume) but my teacher said u need at least 21/25 for EACH of the two writing tasks(creative + critical) to get a E4

thanks for the bna 6 cutoff, some people in my school would be interested so based on previous years' performance theres no pattern to estimate a mark which would scale to 80?

I think E4 cut-off is at least 45/50 ... I might be wrong though ...

 

[fishy89sg]

not E4.... an 80% mark!!!

what are you guys on about??? raw marks in extension get scaled you dont need 45/50 raw mark to get a band E4... Im not sure about EE1 but in mathsE1 70% goes to about 45/50 i think ..might be similar to EE1???

omg... No one is answering the poor guy's question!! if i knew the raw mark you needed to get a scaled mark of approx 80 i would definitely tell you, but sorry i dont!
IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE ANSWER IT FOR THIS GUY (and me)

 

[fishy89sg]

at least someone understands the question... hmm maybe a mathematical representation is needed lol


Raw Mark: ???/50

**scaling**

Scaled Mark: 40/50

thanks again
