u have to be in the top 64 in the state to get band 6.
Yeah, I've heard that the total percentage of students who achieved a band 6 last year was something like 0.18%. To be honest, if I'd known that standard english was such a scam at the beginning of year 12 I wouldn't have thought once about dropping.
dont think about it like having to come in the top 64 in the state. that will make it seem more daunting than it is. just work as hard as u can and dont panic too much on exam day and u can get that band 6.
So I need a raw ~88 in standard for a band 6? Not too happy with that... although it's not far from what I expected.
no i meant that even if u got 88 as ur hsc mark for standard it wuldnt affect ur atar too much.
Ah ok, but approximately what raw mark would I need to be looking at in the externals to get a ~90%?
Why is that? I thought that raw marks were released on request?
Highly doubt you'd need a raw mark of 95% to get a band 6 even in standard. Go troll somewhere else.
Actually from what i've heard thats pretty much exactly what you need or better.
Not going to believe it until someone who's knowledgeable about this sort of stuff decides to post... It's just too ridiculous.
This still doesn't answer the question...
mate i looked everywhere and cant seem to find it. so i think it is just determined by what the 64th ranked person in the state gets.
u realise that only a small minority of ppl on here actually do standard
Why don’t you?
So, let me get this straight. In the HSC, only the individuals who lose 3 errors or less throughout the entire paper get a band 6? That sounds like BS, hence why I’m assuming he was not talking about the externals.
Thanks man, I appreciate your effort.
