No idea. Last year Victor Chu got 89 in our trial and came 9th in the state.

But then again, we mark harsh. (3 people above 80 this time)

Uh ... should be. I'm guessing victor would have got about 93-94 on the actual HSC. Where did you get the 91 figure from?

I'm also interested in this.

If ~94 --> state rank, then perhaps 88% raw aligns to 95?

If so, that'd be sweet ^^

Gogogogogo!

I'd be going for those marks too but modern is squished right in between physics and chem... if only it was the week after :chainsaw:

97 or 98 i think.

Modern history gets marked fairly hard. Our head of history said that it's exremely extremely rare for anyone to get over 95. As for aligning, all I know is our own schools trials and where that goes. A 72 in our trials generally goes to a 90.

Apparantly its been years and years since anbody's gotten over 98.

Part of the reason is that markers actually have to ask a senior marker to look over an essay if they want to give it a 25. It happens very very rarely.

ahhh that sucks. ive only got extension maths tomorrow...then ive got time off until modern, but at the same time i need to prep for legal. but yeah i got ages for modern, literally going no technology from the time i get home after extension maths.

breaking it down, getting around a 94 raw isnt too bad...i got 25/25 for a speer assessment when no-one in previous years in our school have..so that should be sweet...germany is a lottery with getting a good question, and i find conflict pretty decent. and i want a total war own knowledge question for world war one, then im sweeeeet.

so lets hope i can :)

Lol I like the look of this thread, I got 88 in my trial with a night of cramming. Marked by an hsc marker, too. Shutup Zazzy.

hmm... this thread is very interesting lol... so what would a 91 raw for modern align to?
I'm thinking 96 for some reason. It'd be deadset tough to get 23 for each essay, so that mark should bump up to around 96. I'm hoping a raw of around 94-5 (crazy hard) is a state rank...maybe an alligned of 98-99??

... i dont know how this can be possible.

I am coming second in my year, and my intenral mark is 94.

i usually get 92-94 in exams.

..... but i am no where near a state rank.

i go to a school in the top 20 too.

i think we are underestimating the cut off

it it was only 85 to get a band 6 wouldnt so many more people get it?
