HSC English Standard vs Advanced

When should a student choose Standard vs Advanced English, and does it even matter which they choose?

I mean compared to rawmarks.info, these marks seem awfully generous and off.
I mean 43 percent in physics for 75? and 60 percent for a band 5? Seems way to good

And for english 42 percent gets you a 70, but 72 percent gets you a 78? Seems kinda fishy

I think you’re getting a bit confused. This website isn’t referring to raw marks, it’s referring to percentiles (ie the percentage of students who get below a band 5 is 59% in physics)

The site seems ok, the scaling comparisons are accurate - the helpfulness of comparing scaling is a completely different debate but I won’t get into that.
