can i get an e4? (2 Viewers)

[kenkap]

i have done few past papers and i keep averaging 75%+ in trial papers (ruse, grammar etc) and about 67-72% in hsc papers...will that give me a band e4 or i need to work harder?? most of the times i completely leave q8 in hsc papers...do you guys think i should practice those to scrape in few extra marks?? thanks!

That is borderline E4, but on the risky side.

Its getting a bit late to learn the techniques that came up in question 8s.
But yes, everyone should be able to scrape a few marks in question 8s if they don't get put off by the wall of symbols.
Not sure about raw marks vs. final, but I think you should be able to get an E4 with 70% raw.

but for 3 unit, the cutoff is generally around 68% so shouldnt the cutoff for 4 unit be much lower like around 63% ??

Wat?

75% = 94 aligned, if I'm not mistaken. The most comfortable of Band 6es.

The cut off for band 6 is about 66%.

For 3u, the cut off for band 6 is about 70%.

This is based of the ultimate raw marks database.

so if im failing im going to get an e2 ? =(

I believe you can get just an E2 by showing up. LOL
~50% is probably an E3

You should be good considering you are study ruse papers

in my honest opinion, if you are just comparing, hsc papers are more difficult than most of the trials!

 

[Shadowless]

Yep, although I think that is mainly because the trials don't cover all the topics?

yeah mainly harder 3 unit topics! which is a pain in ass

 

[DrWho94]

For a high scaling subject like 4unit does the difference between internal ranks really matter...because there's a 20% difference between first and last in terms of average ...could the person ranked first still end up with a 94 whilst last (provided they do well enough in externals) be on a 87% ...with the rest in between?

I think it's almost a definite yes, unless through the exam question structure change the raw mark for band E4 rise up by far.

I got about 52% in raw mark in MX2 last year but it gave me a 92 O.O

 

[DrWho94]

u r joking!

 

[superSAIyan2]

When you do the HSC do you getto know your raw mark. Or do they onlydisplay your scaled/aligned mark??? And also, do many ppl get over 80raw in 4unit

 

[ismeta]

You can get your raw marks back, but for a fee.

 

[bertstare]

I find the Ruse papers to be significantly harder than the HSC papers, anyone else feel the same way?
