Yuppers. To a Yr 10 dropout a SC is the only thing they have. Several companies (eg KFC) required their younger employees to show their SC once a year.

point taken....but would kfc really care whether the drop-outs they are employing are band 6 or band 2 in history etc...
i don't think anyone would ever be discriminated based on their SC results.....so why have them?

The raw mark is used in the UAI calculation.

Not sure if this is true, but I was told that:
Everyone who drops out after Yr 10 is still ranked for the HSC. They never actually recieve a UAI or any of that crap, but they are still ranked along with the rest of the state. Their rank (the drop-outs) are based on their School Certificate results. Apparently its fairer for everyone. But it shouldn't really matter as if you dropped out in Yr 10 I highly doubt that you got above band 1 for the SC, although there may be some exceptions.

My english teacher has been marking HSC for 9 years now.
She told us that you need anywhere from 85/105 to 87/105 for the Band 6 cut off. It varies year to year depending on how smart a group is (minute, really) and how wordy the questions are and where marks can be given.

For the paper 2 i believe i could get 18/20 for all
so that will add up to 89 all up, hope SJA is right, if so band 6 mor me YAY

i guess its for the people who leave after year 10, so its really quite outdated, especially since they're raising the leaving age and everything... i've been excused from my SC exams just by telling the school ill be on holiday the days they're on (which is true, i wouldnt lie just to get out of something thats supposed to be super-easy anyway.), so they can't matter much
