Raw mark needed for band 6 in Std. English? (1 Viewer)

[freydee]

I realise that only a very small handful of students receive a band 6 in standard, but I was wondering what the raw mark for achieving such a band would be?

I was ranked 1/20 in my standard class, and maintained raw marks which were in excess of 85% all year. Any chance I'm in for a shot?

Well you're first which is good...

depends how much in the "excess" of 85%

I heard they only gave out 15 band 6s in standard last year and none the year before ;

No, they gave out about 70 or so last year.

And by 'in excess off' I mean my lowest assessment mark throughout the year was 85%, and the rest were mostly in the early 90's. Trial was 93%, and I think my half yearly was around the 88 mark.

A few years ago no band 6s were given

i dunno taking a huge guess, but i reckon its around 85~ / 105

i dunno, dont take my word on it.

I've heard the scaling of the top .5% in standard is equivalent to the top 25% in Adv.

If you're getting raw 90s pretty much then it's safe to assume you'll get a band 6, no? Even if it is standard, it still requires intelligence and effort to get into 90s.

i don't know what your cohorts like.. but you've always got a chance. band 6s in standard are insanererererer people.
