Well, the last time I heard it, on some meeting thing, Advance scales WAYYY higher than standard, which is why standard is super hard to get a band six. Much like General maths and Math 2U really.

seriously, if standard and advance scaled the same, why the hell would anyone choose advance when they could do standard?

Standard and Advanced scales the same.

Standard and Advanced ALIGNS differently and because of the aligning, it is a lot harder to get band 6 in standard than advanced. BoS does the aligning while UAC does the scaling.

Why the fuck wouldnt their scaling be the same when half our HSC examination is the same.

also Standard cohort is much weaker then the advance cohort, thus harder to get the top band's because not as many students perform at those band levels

but not most of these prequisite
are just recommended
and not complusory....

and when you know how to speak and write english. It's not that important to know what a simile, metaphor is and it's effect is when you're cutting up people in the future.

you need the communication skills, and the understading of how things work in medicine .

But if you were someone who was performing well (but not brilliant) in Advanced already. You would perform brilliant in comparison to other Standard students.
Thus, making it "easier" to get a band 6.
