    Okay, so I just wanted to ask a question about where does a band 6 cut-off in the hsc exam. So if you got a band 6 in ancient history in the hsc, meaning you got 90 or above does that mean you only lost 10 marks or does that mean that your raw mark got scaled up to a band 6. The chemistry...

    Is getting a band 6 in SAC scaling better than an E3 in ext. history or ext. 1 englis

    I'm not looking at scaling, but I was just curious to know. I know that SAC has a reputation for being a subject that doesn't scale very well unless you do very well. So if i got band 6 in it and I got an E3 in extension english or ext. history, would SAC scale better.

    Mathematics vs 4 unit final ranking/ HSC Mark

    I have a question about the mathematics 2 unit course. If you do 4 unit maths, they consider that you would have gotten a band 6 in mathematics as you don't actually sit the final exam. But 4u maths students still do mathematics assessment tasks during the year so they'd still get ranked with...
