this years exam - band 6 cutoff? (1 Viewer)

[souha882002]

what do u guys think will be the band 6 cut off for this year's chem exam?

 

[100percent]

the test wasn't hard. so i'm guessing like 84-85 raw?

 

[rnitya_25]

yeah perhaps.....please god i just want 80 and above......PLEASE!!

i think 9 cut off will be about 85ish...

it was a pretty good exam.

 

[Sepulchres]

I think it'll be around 87-88.

I think it'll be around 87-88.

doesnt look like a band 6 for me

I doubt I'm right. You can never adequately predict these, have a punt yourself

 

[rama_v]

I reckon around 86-88

i think u guys are aiming a bit too high, a 6 would prolly be a high 70 low 80, no way a high 80

 

[Hardenne]

I think 87-88 is abit too high for the band 6 cut off. I think it would be more like 83-85. But agian thats just a guess

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

prob 80. I think it was a bit more straight forward but there was still some difficult questions. Especially in that stupid forensics option topic.

i concur

Band 6 is nowhere near 88. In fact i believe it's 75-85 range. Because if a band 6 cut off was 88, that would almost be the same thing as the raw mark. Chemistry, in case some you you didnt know, is a high scaling subject (maybe not as high as extension subjects, but nonetheless is), so you can expect the scaling to be quite an amount.

 

[richz]

nice post mike, i would agree with u

 

[Wrightson]

I dont know how this band 6 stuff works, dont you just have to get in the 90's? i dunno im confused, but i do think ill prolly get about 85ish... so what do you lot think that'll be does it stay at 85 or go up? also im ranked 3rd, if i beat the person thats 2nd does that mean they get to steal my mark :- | better not! lol.
The test was fairly good, there was only one question that had me stumped, the battery question worth 3 marks i hate them question, i didnt answer it in the half yearly, didnt answer it in the trial, so i figured why mess with what works lol. oh well reply if u want so i can find out how this works, cheers mate.

mike is the one who answers questions correctly

yeh mike you know what the score is 88 band 6 cut off is ridiculous.

 

[richz]

well, u will still get ur exam mark for ur exam mark, but if u come first in the hsc exam, the guy coming first internally will get ur exam mark as their assessment mark and then his/her own exam mark.

Actually, scaling has nothing to do with aligining
So even if chem scales up, it could actually align down...The two processes are completely independent. But practically all subjects are aligned up , which is good news for us

 

[richz]

yes, but still, the raw mark would not be 88,

 

[Dumsum]

I predict around 83. Basically, for myself I predict an aligned mark of 90.
