Requirements for a band 6 in Mathematics Advanced (1 Viewer)

[hungynguyen]

Hey i was told by my teacher that you'll require to score a HSC mark of at least 75% (90/120 examination mark) to earn a band 6. Is this correct?? it seems that the difficulty of the paper varies every year so it may be harder to earn a band six, which is especially the case for the 2005 paper.

ANd one other thing, is the examination mark recorded in our hsc results a raw mark ? or is it adjusted?


THanks !

Yeah i did this years Catholic trial paper and i scored 93 out of 120. It was a relatively hard exam, should i consider this as a band 6 result?

oh... thats alrite LOL... i can get that i think, even though is stuffed my trials

i think it would a band 6, i saw in last yr's forums, and they said a 75% was the cut off for b6.
correct me if im wrong

I heard that last year the cut off for band 6 was mid 90's so about 78-80%...meh anywhere around 75% for a band 6 in maths is awesome lol

I heard that the band structure was:

Band 6-90%+
Band 5-80-90%
Band 4-70-80%
Band 3-60-70%
Band 2-50-60%
Band 1-FAIL

But hopefully I'm wrong.

That's what your HSC mark would be ranged from. But the raw marks differ for each subject

band 6 sounds a little too easy.

i havent been doing great with assessment marks but after going through the past papers a +110/120 doesnt look too hard.
