I think it would be a little higher than 85, because Biology is the "easy" science..
i dont consider it a "easy" science,
there is so much content, its hard
to get around it sometimes,

apparently it is diffifult to get a high band 6
in biology for HSC, is this true?

Bio is considered an 'easy' science because there's hardly any calculations involved compared to physics and chemistry. But yes it's true there's a crap load of content and writing involved

If it's 85 I'll be thrilled, because that should mean 75 is band 5 - right?

No.


Not all bands differ by the same amount
So what do you think band 5 might be?
And also isn't your band affected by internal marks / ranks (not just external marks)?

Whether it's easy or not, it wouldn't be 10% higher than the others.
The cutoff is like 80-82.

I tend to agree.

No idea, mate.
If you get back to me tomorrow night I'll look it up in my stats, but I have to study for English now.
