I highly doubt you're anywhere near me.

I scored higher than you in every single assessment bar the trails and you only scored 5% higher.

I have a better chance of being 0.1% of 2nd than you being 1% of me.
At the end of day, with such a minimal difference, the actual performance in the hsc is gonna have a significantly greater influence.

80-85 as Band 6 cutoff? That's achievable :) :) I got 90 in trial, but the trial was admittedly much easier than this for me...I got 41+49....But with a trippy mod B and unsure about Mod A and creative, we'll see.

Mod C: hoping for a 14 (fml I misread the question used two related texts but my analysis and link to the question is really strong)

I dont understand how people can mis-read the question so badly... Youre writing about it for 40 mins, how much time does it take to read it PROPERLY. PLUS there should be no excuses since you have 5 mins of reading time

In general frank/hamlet don't, cause 90% of the state does it.
Also depends on the question on the day, and given the response from Hamlet (which really wasn't that bad imo), perhaps it will scale better this year. Shakespearean texts have scaled in the past due the comparative difficulty of the text and/or question.

Frankenrunner shouldn't scale much differently, its not very difficult and the question was very accessible.

yeah I felt so happy that I got a 'past and the present' for speeches that I ignored the first part....

I'm doing speeches, and my tutor says it pretty much impossible to break past the 18/20 barrier.

my texts scale badly, I need around 83% in which I don't have.

Also I need to beat RayRay/ObliviousNinja

What do you need out of 105 to get a band 5?
Should have done ESL when I had the chance to. Seriously depressed now. My ATAR probably went down by 10 points already after today's exam.
