Raw marks required for Bands (3 Viewers)

[juicystar07]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering, what are the likely raw marks required for bands?

My internal mark is probably going to be around 60-70% (I know, pathetic) but I am hoping for 70% in HSC, what bands am I likely to get?

 

[someth1ng]

Raw mark of 70% should get you ~89-91.

No way you serious?!?!

 

[SunnyScience]

~72% = 90

 

[dawooddaman]

~72% = 90

Sorry this is hard to believe aye, I only started studying for chem 4 weeks before trials, just finshed 11/10/09 my average was 86%

Wouldn't that mean 80% of chemistry students will get band 6?

I find it very hard to believe too, but it's true, luckily. Refer to the Ultimate Raw Marks database found here on BOS.
54 = 80, 72 = 90, 82 = 94

No way? That's so high! Wow! Thankyou very much

They mark much more harshly than most schools will

That amazing shit right there, but now you reduced my stress level and I'm Cbbs to do more PP =(

Why the fuck doesn’t everyone do chem?

Just wondering, who did you get to mark your papers for the 86% average?

Because with lenient markers a band 6 paper should hit quite high, so lessen the pressure but don't slack off altogether

What is the band 3 cut off?

Me compared to SA, but true I'm doing PP as we speak

Hate options for chem =(

LOL why is you Ext1/2 so high and your chem and physics burning?

less then 41

dood I'm pretty sure that 75 - 79% is the b6 cut off

No, that's for physics.

For chemistry, it depends a bit on the year, some years, 71 can get 91 but some years 72 gets only 90.

First I thought if I am good at maths, physics shouldn't be a problem. People kept telling me that back in Yr11. Also, first I thought chem is about remembering what I learn. Back in Yr11, my chem tutor kept telling me to do well in chem, I don't need to be intelligent.
I could have changed subjects back in early Yr11 but I wasn't aware the HSC Sciences are so wordy[e.g. "validity", "assess", "impacts on society",... all that crap]
Because I am extremely disadvantaged in English [for a lot of reasons] this affects my Chem and Physics results.
I am very happy that maths is still maths [unlike physics which use to be lots of calculations but now is so wordy] that's why my MX1 and MX2 marks are so high.
Thanks for answering my question btw.

What raw mark would suffice to achieve an hsc mark of 95?

 

[habitres]

What raw mark would suffice to achieve an hsc mark of 95?

10%+

 

[Rawf]

10%+

Yeah, thanks man.

 

[dawooddaman]

99% +
