Band 6 (1 Viewer)

[JUB JUB]

looking at last years results and the years before will there always be only like 2% of the state getting band 6 for bio???
If everyone does well will more people get band 6 or will we be scaled down...so I hear??? =(

Im not worrying about it coz there is no hope for me to get a Band 6

But to get band 6, they have certain criteria (normally blah blah crap). If people can reach this criteria they will be awarded Band 6

If the test is hard they take this into consideration and rework the bands...

You have to remember Bio has a huge candidature so 2% of approx 14000 is alot...

As for me.. Band 4-5 is wat I am aiming for...

But smarty pants ppl like Babydoll , Telepathic and co are obviously Band 6 material...

 

[*~Dazed~*]

well i would WISH for a band 6, and of course im sure everyone aims for it but im thinking realistically and im going to be with happy with anything from a low band 5... if i get in the 80s ill be ecstatic...
im in the 80's for assessments atm but once the exam comes... who knows what will happen

isn't everyone lookin for a band 6?? even if they r like me who can't really get a band 6 for bio?? lolz, just a comment, no offence intended..... =)

 

[tempco]

Well, it depends.. if you can deal with the disappointment, go ahead

 

[xiao1985]

lolz disappointments?? well it doesn't hurt to dream!!!

 

[tempco]

But it hurts when you come crashing down to the ground... meh... BE POSITIVE!!

im hoping for over 50% but probs wont happen i spent most of past two years wagging as many classes as possible now it comes back to haunt me oh well.

 

[tempco]

Nick suits you perfectly then!

2% out of 14000 is only 280 students... (unless i did some majorly wrong calcuations there!)

that seems like too little to me... considering a couple of years ago my bio teacher had her whole class in band 6... (thats like 20 people and i doubt that if only 280 got a band 6 then 20 would be from my school... not that it's bad)

think about all the smart ppl that do bio... it's gotta be more than 2%

no its definitely 2%, I remember being told about it at the start of the year.
Maybe the class that got all band 6s' was doing the old HSC, before 2001?

Anyone got any clue what kind of raw mark u need for a band 6? I know it varies year to year... but any idea!

This is where you can see the band descriptors and percentage of the state who got in to each band:
