It will differ every year. Last year's exam was pretty crap, so I think the raw mark was a bit lower than usual (anyone correct me if I am wrong). I only got 90 raw (not included optional scaling etc.), yet ended up ranked 15th. HSC mark was 96.

Wow that's interesting, i didn't find last years bio test that challenging just some questions wanted responses that were strange.

I'm guessing very high, seeing as this is one of the easier sciences and by far the most populare one. It will definatly be above 90.

It wasn't that it was super challenging, I think it just required you to think a bit more and apply knowledge i.e. not just regurgitate information.

does bio scale really bad?
like, what would it scale up/down if you get 90 in your internals? and hsc :S

Well as I said I got 90 in the exam, which scaled to 96. It depends on the paper though.

Maybe genetics? I don't really know. I can tell you that my mark in the option went from 20 to 21.9.
