Raw Mark required for band 6 chemistry (2 Viewers)

Better yet give it to me!

The top chem practice trial I marked this year got 18/75 (there was no option).

Okay...that sounds a bit...excessive.

Well, I honestly thought that was what should've been the mark.

If I ran the HSC aligning would be pretty fucking extensive. Hahaha

Were they actually poor responses?

I think at his school he probably would've gotten ~50/75

But like, I'm not his school.

How can a science subject be this subjective in terms of marking (serious question).

A poor response can be seen as a good response at an easy marking school. Trust me, science isn't just "Okay, it happens because of this", it's more than that. The questions can be something like "Assess the usefulness of superconductors in the transmission of electrical energy" and at school A, you might be like 7/7 but at school B, they could be like, that's not enough information and get 3/7.

Also, the marking scheme usually expects you to identify a few random things in your response and if you don't, you lose a mark.
