3 band 6's but didnt get a 90? (2 Viewers)

[oly1991]

i got 3 band 6s only and got 98.9

and they were like low ones 90-92

You must of had high scaling subjects, accompanied with high band 5's in your other subjects.

 

[exiting]

All I can say is, suck crap hahahaha

 

[boxhunter91]

I only got one Band 6 and got rest band 5's and pulled a 90.
That maths mark fkd you hard.

 

[Mcmc]

Sheesh that's harsh. I didn't know 2u math could pull your ATAR down so low. Rank must've been bad.

 

[kcrocks]

people who get 90+ do not get band fours....

I got a band 4 and got 97! (didn't count to my ATAR though)... But it's obviously possible to get a band 4 in one subject and still get a 90 +

 

[alex09hsc]

kcsucks YES FFS i acknowledged that about a month ago

 

[ascentyx]

Our dux in 2007 got a band 1 in english and still got 98.7

You're over-exaggerating or something.

If you got 49 in english advanced, 100 in ext1 math, 100 in ext2 math, 100 in chemistry and 100 in physics, you would get uai of approximately 95.3 (based off sam).

 

[alex09hsc]

yes

 

[Enchantress91]

I think your 89 ATAR IS strange! Because ALL of my subjects are pretty low-scaled. I got 3 band 6's (General Maths, Legal and Business Studies). And 2 high band 5's (again, low scale subjects - English Standard and PDHPE) and my ATAR was 94.

I thought all language courses scale up and your German result is pretty impressive. Maybe you should discuss it with your career counsellor?

 

[alex09hsc]

it just depends what u got.

there is some point where all subjects scale up - that is they start contributing significantly more to your atar aggregate...


for those poor sods that got band sixes and didnt get 90....you simply didnt do well enough

To be honest, I didn't even know it was possible to get Band 1. Like, wouldn't that classify as a non serious attempt?

Probably did EE2 so the band 1 was in only one of the courses and didn't count

My school has Band 1's every year. Kids who get Band 1's usually just rewrite some parts of the question in their answer and leave it at that.

lol, you actually tried it? It probably wasn't a band 1 but he did extremely shit in English.

youngmini got a band 4... ATAR 94.15 or something

EDIT: i see ppl already picked you up on this , nvm

 

[Schoey93]

Alex09HSC doesn't seem to know much about scaling even compared to my disturbingly narrow knowledge of it (according to Anna). Anna, do you look like the girl called Anna from The O.C. if so ... wow

 

[alex09hsc]

Schoey you have a red bar because you're oblivious. kthnx

Aha yes. I must admit you know more than Alex09HSC with regards to scaling, but that that says much

And nope, i don't look like her XD
