[Riproot]

english advanced - 90/105?
maths extension 2 - 70/100?
physics - 80/100?
biology - 85/100?
chemistry - 81/100?
business studies - ??
economics - ??

Riproot estimations are pretty accurate, but it really depends on the difficulty of the exam undertaken.

4U maths is out of 120

 

[Alkanes]

Changes every year so the exact raw mark is not accurate.

EDIT: And @ OP you are doing 16 units? Holy shit dude.

 

[SpreadTheWord]

incorrect
for chem it's ~75. Bio would be lower too.

I thought Biology would be in the 90's, because it is an easy subject.

4U maths is out of 120

yeah... I just changed it to out of 100 for percentage sake. Did the same with all except English. Aren't they out of 75 or something?

Btw, I made all these up on the spot and if bio is lower I'm pwning; 94% in last two exams.

they wouldn't make you get in the 90s to get 90 on a subject as thoroughly content based as bio.

 

[mitchy_boy]

I think 4unit would be closer to 70/120...

 

[Omnipotence]

Yeah E4 for MX2 is around 70/120.

 

[Riproot]

yeah e4 for mx2 is around 70/120.

really?!
Holy fuck i'm getting an e4!!! :d

Advanced - 87/105
MX2 - 74/120
physics - 80/100 (Although most years its 81-82)
Bio - 84/100
Chemistry - 78/100 (some years its 2 or 3 marks higher)
business studies - 84/100
economics - 81/100

Those raw marks are just rough estimations, because aligning changes every year. Also, as the BOS only released raw marks last year, there is little real information to go off.

^ That.

Best bet is to go to the 2010 HSC ATAR place and see people who posted their marks and help derive Band 6 cut-offs from there.

It took quite long for people to notice didn't it?

Where's that?

Dude, you're right about everything except MX2 and Business Studies: to get Band 6 in Business Studies, you need roughly 89 or 90 out of 100 because heaps of students statewide do the course. To get a Band 4 in MX2 you need to at least score in the top 45% of students participating in the course. If that happens to be a raw mark of 20% and you're in the top 45th percentile, then your aligned mark will be anywhere between 40-45/50.

 

[enoilgam]

Fair enough. With business, my estimate was based on the fact that for most 2 unit subjects, an 83/84 is enough for a band 6.
