Getting a band 6 (1 Viewer)

What would be the best way to achieve a band 6 with just over 3 weeks left? My assesment mark was 80 and realy would like a band 6 for 2 unit

study from past papers. get rid of silly mistakes. and practice, practice, practice the topics that you're not good at.

yup, probably just look at the past papers and see where you go wrong.

around what should you be getting for a band 6?
i heard its like 96+/120.
and i just practised a past hsc paper and got 99/120 but when i worked out that percentage its only low 80's. even with scaling, is it possible that could be a band 6?

thats a great result, it would usually be band 6 (a decent one too) =)

So your saying if i leave out Q9/10 and get full marks in 1-8 id get a scaled mark of band 6? I highly doubt that. 24 marks gone..

pretty much, if you can get full marks on 1-8 you must be pretty good already. I know i didn't get full marks from q1-8 and i got a HSC mark of 98.
i guess it also depends on the difficulty of the exam, but around 100 is a pretty good mark i say.

There will always be an odd question from 1-8 that i will drop marks. Generally i do pull at least 100/120. I just stuff up question 10's mainly when i fail to see what is being asked lol. Thanks for the vote of confidence timothy. All the best.

So lets say a band 6 cut off is around the 96 region, what would band 5 be? 80/120?
