What are the max marks you can get for not answering the question fully in English? Like for Mod B, I mentioned textual integrity a few times but I don't think my quotes chosen supported the idea of textual integrity super well. Also, do you guys think scaling will be better this year (in comparison to previous years)?

It depends- one of my teachers mentioned that a marker's interpretation of textual integrity relates to whether a theme or concern is reflected throughout their works and if it was informed by their context or smth. Artistry refers to form, and you would need to have explicitly mentioned why you think it is valuable or what makes it valuable.

Oh okay. I did T.S Eliot and I felt like I could've chosen evidence more carefully (e.g - by showing how the cyclical motif of time in Prufrock extends into Preludes). I did talk about Eliot's artistry through his form and structure, but I feel like I should've focused more holistically on his poems.

They better do that

Most of the state weren't prepared for disc but if they were low 80s would be b6 100% this year

If I averaged 67% in internals, what do I have to get as a raw mark in hsc english, to get a band 5?

The exact same mark like genuinely a 67 raw goes to 80
