I know that no-one can accurately estimate this...that's why its open to speculation. So what do you think?

I have a vague idea. The cut-offs are different every year and are found by how well the state goes. If everyone gets over 80+ then it was an easy test and not everyone deserves a band 5/6. The band 6 cut-off might then change to 96+. Bit of an extreme example...

well its pretty easy to get above 50... unless u did a NON ATTEMPT in that case u would get a BAND 1 (below 50)

you would think that everyone in the state could get above 50- but considering the 4 other people in my class left the exam between the 60-80 minute mark- i would say its very unlikely that we'll all get above 50. i only just had m choice and short answer done when they started to leave....
