i absolutely agree, i think if someone wishes to acheive band 6 or even 5 in english they should not pick standard in the first place.

i have been proven wrong with my comments about band 5 and 6, but yes band 6 is possible but highly rare. i said this in another thread but the advanced teacher at our school compared the top person on standard to the people in advanced and it was still nowhere near the worst people in advanced...

sorry i wasnt trying to say that you get scaled down for being in standard, what i mean was, if you come first in your standard class, that would be last in advanced, and so your standard teacher might say you got 90% for standard, but compared to what kind of stuff advanced people do, that 90%...

everyone seems to be confused about what the marks are for the bands, band 5= 80-90 band 6= 90-100 and standard and advanced are marked the same, so you will be marked against advanced, therefore its hard to get band 5.

i hate to tell you but the chances of band 6 in standard are basically 0. Last year, only 2 people in the state who do standard got band 5, and they were mature age students. If you were aiming for band 6 you should have picked advanced, and even then its very rare for even advanced candidates...
