What sort of marks do you need to get a band 4 in 2U maths?

My internal marks aren't the best (lucky its my 12th unit lol) but I've only kept it as a subject to get into science at usyd. My marks in each task this year were 96%, 50% and 68% and I just bombed the trial by not being able to even attempt half of the paper so tbh I'm probably looking at sub 20%. In my half yearly report my rank was exactly in the middle of my cohort. Is it still possible for me to get a band 4 if I pass the HSC exam?

My other internal ranks (as far as I know) are;
Ancient - 2
Biology - 1
Chemistry - 10 (probably bumped up after coming 1st in the last exam)
Eng Adv - 6
Modern - 1

With those ranks I was just wondering what sort of atar I could expect? I'm not sure how many people do each course but my school is within the 200-250 range lol

Thanks guys :)

Pretty big range for your school rank, adv math def isn't gonna count at this point and idk what a b4 mark is equal to internally. You don't have much of an option so you need to just do the best you can in the HSC since you need the B4. I've heard ppl say you can do bridging courses maybe somebody else can explain if that can work for you.

lmao mood this was literally me last year (suffered thru 2u math to get into usyd science). my internal marks were like a solid 60% lmfaooo but this is at a top 10 selective school so take that as you will. the raw mark in the hsc to get a band 4 is pretty much scraping a pass (around the 50s - 60s), band 5 is around 60s-70s and band 6 is probably around mid 80+

your internal mark is very dependent on your cohort's performance, so there is no telling how well you're going to do internally but i would recommend stepping it up for hsc to make sure you get perform well externally because passing the exam means your external mark might be a B4 but your internal mark might not be

for extra context, i reckon i barely scraped a pass in the hsc math exam last year (definitely less than 65% raw mark imo lmao) and i got a 77 external mark which is a band 4 (yay)
