Band 6 raw cut off? (1 Viewer)

[killerg0d]

I know it varies every year depending on the difficulty of the test, but what would you say is the average raw cut off to achieve a band 6?

 

[Rawf]

Do you mean... E4?
I'm not exactly sure, but this tells you what % of students got what band
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ebos/static/BDHSC_2011_12_15250.html
36% of students with E4 and 48% with an E3

Usually a tad higher than 65%.

Woah really? That's pretty low o_o what is the test out of now? 70, 75 or 80?

70 - mx1
100- mx2

i think raw of 70% for 3u (varies with test difficulty)

sorry for interrupting but does anyone know the band 6 mark for 2U?

sorry for interrupting but does anyone know the band 6 mark for 2U?

i think around 80-83%

A couple of percent lower than that, but close enough.

78%.

 

[Rawf]

78%.

No way... are you serious? 2u is heaps easy... it cant be 78%. I'm getting like 90%+ in them, does this mean I'll be a band 6?
This is the actual RAW mark for the test right? like 78/100.. omg

U need 90 and above as raw mark to get a band 6 in 2u

Realise is correct. You need ~78% raw (as in 2010), which is around 93-95/120, to get a Band 6 in 2 Unit maths. This will slightly vary year to year depending on the difficulty of the exam.

 

[marksgm]

changes every year, just do your best

Could you please explain the difference between band 6 and E4? My tutor keeps on telling me to aim for a band 6, also what kind of multiple choice questions will there be ( Concepts or calculations)

THANKS HEAPS!!

E4 is an equivalent of Band 6, but for Extension subjects.

So for example, Chemistry has a Band 6, but not an E4.

Extension 1 and 2 Mathematics have E4 instead of Band 6, but Advanced Mathematics (2 unit) is Band 6.

The score (not necessarily raw) is still 90 for a Band 6 or E4, just the name is different.

As for MC, it will have both concept and calculations.

Here is a sample from the Board of Studies Website: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/maths-ext-1-2-support-assess-2012.pdf

This is the first year they're doing the new format, so it could be overly easy or too hard, which would affect the state averages and hence the cut-offs
