75%?

Sounds about right...Where's Lazarus to confirm .

For the 2005 exam, the band E4 cut-off was 57/84 (68%).

For the 2004 exam, the band E4 cut-off was between 56/84 and 61/84 (61%-73%).

For the 2001 exam, the band E4 cut-off was between 45/84 and 53/84 (54%-63%).

Remember that you can't know whether you're capable of achieving any of these raw marks unless you actually download and sit the exam and then mark it yourself.

Raw marks and cut-offs are different for every exam paper.

really, is it only that low? what would a 70-80/84 equate to then? a 95?

It depends on the exam paper.

For the 2005 exam:

80/84 --> 95/100
70/84 --> 93/100

For the 2004 exam:

80/84 --> 95/100
70/84 --> 92/100

For the 2001 exam:

80/84 --> 96/100
70/84 --> 94/100

But you can't know what your raw mark for a particular exam is likely to be until you've actually done the exam.

So an extra 10 marks raw in the exam only equates to 2 or 3 extra hsc marks?
That seems extremely unfair.

ohk cool newhere i can read up on this regarding other subjects? or can i ask you?

I've done these papers and I think 2001 is actually easier than 2004 and 2005, maybe that's just me.
All the cutoff marks seem quite low in comparison to what people are getting in the trials.

Why is getting 80 not much better than 70? Is it really bunched near the top?

Aligning purposes and aligning power

Well the raw marks are used for ATAR so in that respect... HSC marks mean nothing ^^

I for some reason doubt a 80/84 would give 95 HSC mark while 70/84 Will give 93 HSC Mark.

Lazarus.. your take please?

 

[tommykins]

lol...u guys overestimate the hsc

lol...u guys overestimate the hsc

1. How is that relevant to whats being discussed

2. Everyone (who's non retarded anyway) knows that once the hsc is finished; it'll feel like the school certificate once again

So stop making it seem like we're lifeless foo's

I stand by my original post.

The fact is, if the band E4 cut-off for a particular exam paper is a raw mark of 57/84, and band E4 corresponds to aligned marks from 90-100, you have a range of 27 raw marks being squashed into a range of 10 aligned marks.

So, on that particular exam paper, in that range of marks, you would have needed 2.7 raw marks for every aligned mark.

But there's nothing wrong with that. The aligned marks are only used to report your performance against the band descriptions. They aren't used to calculate your ATAR.

Confusion about this is part of why the Board doesn't like to release cut-offs.

it's relevant because alot of you are in disbelief that the band cutoffs are so low
