Differs from year to year, but from general consensus: 85

^

might hav thought a wee bit lower than that.

83 - 84. But it depends on the quality of the canditature and the difficulty of the paper.

Btw, what raw would be needed for a 97?

I'd say 95% at least.

I think he's correct, if raw mark of 85 moderates to 90 then there are only 10 moderated marks for 15 raw marks to fit in.

So VERY ROUGHLY, every raw mark is worth 2/3 moderated.. so 97 moderated would be about 95,96.

Re: raw mark in hsc

A senior HSC marker told me the band 6 cut off floats around 78-81.

If it's an easy paper it might be closer towards 84 though.

The marker also said that the highest % so far for 1st in the state obtained in past HSC exams was 95%, so i highly doubt you need 95% for 97 in chem.

I'm guessing ~88% would be 97.

Well, if this is true, it's good for me.

I know, i was really shocked when i was told XD

But from what people have estimated their raw % to be and what they actually got, what i've said seems accurate.

Hmm... I still doubt it but it's a good news - I can aim hgher than what I originally was trying to get in the exam.

Btw, does this apply to Physics as well?

For physics it's higher than chem, usually around 83. No idea what you need for a state rank though :/

Hmm, are you sure Anna?

88% in MX2 would scale to ~96-98.

Maybe 95 is a bit much, but I'd say that 93% is minimum for a chance at 97 scaled.
