no, because its only 2 units out of 10. if your other 8 units are 83+ it should be a very safe 90-92.

bio isnt crap, its just scaled not very high, and i think its also a capped subject, meaning theres a maximum to what you can acheive. but thats becoz its easy as hell.

biology - mean: 37.1/50, scaled: 26.7/50 sd: 5.8, scaled 9.7
engo - mean: 38.2/50, scaled 25/50 sd: 5, scaled 9.4

compare that to maths ext 2 - mean 40.7, scaled 43.8 sd: 6.2, scaled 5.4

this is your mark after its been aligned from your raw hsc mark and combined with your school mark. you should know that nearly every subject gets pulled down. its not as bad as it looks.
