what raw mark would be needed for a band 6 in bio

ive been asking this question for ages and nobody has answered. BUT i think its about 85.

 

[annikab]

I think it would be a little higher than 85, because Biology is the "easy" science..

i dont consider it a "easy" science,
there is so much content, its hard
to get around it sometimes,

apparently it is diffifult to get a high band 6
in biology for HSC, is this true?

Bio is considered an 'easy' science because there's hardly any calculations involved compared to physics and chemistry. But yes it's true there's a crap load of content and writing involved

If it's 85 I'll be thrilled, because that should mean 75 is band 5 - right?

No.


Not all bands differ by the same amount

So what do you think band 5 might be?
And also isn't your band affected by internal marks / ranks (not just external marks)?

Whether it's easy or not, it wouldn't be 10% higher than the others.
The cutoff is like 80-82.

I tend to agree.
What do you think the cutoff for band 5 might be?

No idea, mate.
If you get back to me tomorrow night I'll look it up in my stats, but I have to study for English now.

Thank you Good luck for English!

I didn't bother studying.
The only mark I have is:

Biology
Year Raw Mark /100 . . TWM (with optional scaling) . TWM (one unit basis) . . Aligned Mark . . . Aligned Mark . . . Reported Exam Mark . . Band
2010 . . . . 89 . . . . . . . . . . 91 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 47.6 . . . . . . . . . 95.2 . . . . . . . . . . . 95 . . . . . . . . . B6
