Raw mark range out of 105 translating to a band 5? (2 Viewers)

I think hsc marking standards would be much harder than some people are used to at their schools.
Since teachers had access to average raw marks for hsc exams from last year, the results had everyone pretty freaked out.

Our school average for one of the modules was ~13/20, and the state average was ~9/20.

Even though our school still did really well (~70% got band 6), i think you guys might be underestimating how hard it is to actually get raw marks in the 80s, so definitely don't get complacent

Wait, Baulko had one module average of 13!! aww jesus...

yes but my teacher is a hsc marker, ive given her my essays (although she marks conflicting perspectives), and she has given each a 17/20, including conflicting perspectives. She said the main thing a marker looks for is a sustained essay, not one that fades after 2 paragraphs. And it has to be an absolute thrilling essay to get 18+

You know what's shit?
Getting an A in every essay and every part of the AOS paper and not getting a band 6.
I.e. being in Standard.

(13+13+13)/45*40 + 17+17+17 = ~86%
Fuck...
And I'm gonna get like 9 for that essay. :/

That's good. But yeah, don't get complacent - continue to study as you normally would.

That's raw though. Raw marks get aligned.

Standard doesn't align very well... Does it?
I guess we'll know when I get my raw marks back next year.

hmmm what would you people say for Standard English? What would the raw mark be for a band 5? 75/105?

So, quick question, even if you go really well in your HSC exams, do bad trial marks effect your HSC mark? or is it just your internal rank that matters?

Internal rank only but I'm willing to bet bad trial marks affected your rank pretty badly lol.
