When you say raw, do you mean uncooked? cos uncooked marks arent any good. You need to cook em to get the real flavour out. Though I think the particular grade meat you need to get a good cooked meal is probably in the 90+ percent range for most subjects

Yea mate. I think you've got to overcook them a fair bit to achieve the marks you desire in your sig.

wow how is chem so low? I know our school marks harder than hsc yet our top 10 raw marks for chem and phys are around 95-100%
We haven't had a really hard test though, it's been around HSC difficulty

I thought to state rank you need 100 in them because I would be sure some 20 people will get 100 in the exam considering there are alot of contenders in each subject (except rare 4u math and english and languages).

But it makes me happier I dont need 100 to state rank some subjects.

What do you need to get first in the state for 4u math?

If you need 100 in externals raw, then how much internals scaled and aligned?

to top the state in 4u maths externals you need maybe 110/120, that's what most guys got previously. Now 4u will be /100 though, so guessing 90-95+/100 for first in state

You need 115/120 to top the state. I don't think that 110 would be enough.

Unless you're at James Ruse, the marking isn't rigid enough.

At my school, top HSC mark is ~95 and top raw mark is around 90% but our Scuence faculty is shit. HSC has questions that need understanding with a strict marking scheme. Our school are full of rote learnable questions with extremely strict marking scheme.

I can assure you people in business studies and economics who top the state get full marks, out of 16,000 people there are likely to be 5-10 who fluke the hard mc's and get full marks in the rest. And for maths obviously in 2unit and 3unit alot of people get full marks. The past hsc papers are hard - but there are definitely 5+ who could get full marks.

there are many smart people who do not "fluke" all the MC's, rather get them all by logic

I don't think 115 is enough to top. One of my friends this year got something like 116 and he came 3rd.

Biology would probably be around ~92% considering that Chemistry is around 88% and Physics is around 90%. That's just an assumption but it seems quite reasonable.

Maths Extension 1 is generally 83+/84 in the externals for the old format. It should be very close to 100% for the new format.

The same goes for 2U - probably 119+/120 but the new format might change the mark slightly but still expect almost or at 100%.
118/120 2U is state rank

Yeah, probably aeound there but more likely ~92.
Ah okay. Since that many Band 6's for a school in Chem is generally top 7-8 (if not top 5) in the state for it (in terms of number of band 6's).
