Rank?? (1 Viewer)

[mmmm.]

This may be a silly question, but for maths i am ranked 55 out of 200 students, and on HSC ninja the average band no. of band 6s is around 60, does this mean that i will get a band 6? Because my marks have been in the 70s.

It means you have a fair chance at getting a Band 6, however you still must study and keep up with your performance in the HSC. Your school may mark harsher than others or give harder exams though.

You're really on the edge. It's not guaranteed although likely you could get a band 6. However band 6's usually do vary by some amount depending on the school so I wouldn't say you will definitely but it's likely.

I assume you are looking at the data on HSC ninja. I would look at more than 1 year because band 6 numbers at schools can vary year to year so that will give you a better average of how many band 6s the school usually gets in the subject. You are probably on the borderline in terms of if you don't do well in the external then you will likely end up with a high band 5. If you are able to push that external mark to 80 raw min. then you should be on track for a band 6.

One more thing, say i bomb the test and do poorly, will my scaled mark be adjusted to that of the 55th highest mark in my grade?

 

[jazz519]

The internal mark will be approximately around there but not your external. The external is just whatever you did

So say i get 68 in the HSC and the 55th highest mark in my grade was 84, would that mean my internals would be 84?

It is not like directly like that were a mark is assigned to a rank and it is same as the person who got that rank in the external, but yes it will be somewhere around there
