Well it obviously depends which school you go to and the difference between the students. If youre not too far off from the first person, you might get a pleasant surprise when you get your results back. Most important thing though, dont let it get you down.

Thanks for the replies ragerunner and mack, the reassurance is helping me =)
I go to oakhill college
Do you guys know what is the raw mark (school asses) needed for a b6 in any subject. Or does it vary?

To attain a band 6, your aligned mark need to be between 90-100.

This aligned mark consists of the average of your HSC exam mark + moderated assessment mark.

The mark you receive at school isn't the mark that is used by the board of studies. Those marks are aligned to ensure fairness throughout the state.

It is unknown what raw mark is needed to attain a band 6 in any subject as they are likely to change every year, and they do not release such information.

I did biz last year and for one assessment got 8/20 :( it was worth around 10% i think...but yeah I ended up with an assessment mark of 79 and rank 10/50 which i was less than happy with. But killed the exam and my HSC mark was 90. So definitely don't kiss band 6 goodbye, the HSC exam is 50% so it will make all the difference if you do well in it!
