Teachers had always told us that we needed to get 90+ for band 6, but omg that makes me so happy

it was a 'harder' exam this year (i.e. sports med which everyone does)


I think the cut off will be ~84, its usually 85ish from what i've heard

(sorry this is beside the point) but quick question, so do atar calcs use aligned marks or raw marks? Because I've been using raw estimates eg. 84ish for english advanced, and my atar isn't looking too great! But with aligning... that changes things completely!

oh! thank you @kellie_1996

I seriously didn't hear about aligning til now :L

So when you get your HSC exam results, would it show your aligned mark or raw mark?
E.g. Your raw mark is 84, but it shows that mark and Band 6 in your results
