I did 4 or 5 hours study the day before and got band 489/90 raw is about 93 aligned so it isn't 'that' hard relatively speaking.

I made up stuff in the exam. I literally have no idea how I even passed lol.
So maybe marking is lenient on the lower end. I can imagine it being a lot tougher on the high end when you start hitting high Band 5's and stuff.
don't have time to go into it, but RoT is right. besides, sciences are higher candidature --> more competitive --> more harsher marking required....Really? But I was told by my eco teacher who's a HSC marker that you need to know how to use the right lingo in your SA and essay responses, which is akin to the sciences where having the correct terminology is vital.
So surely eco marking is just as harsh as HSC science.
yeah definitely, I;ve also found this to be true in like assessments and stuff. Thanks everyone for the inputdon't have time to go into it, but RoT is right. besides, sciences are higher candidature --> more competitive --> more harsher marking required....
all right on the mark. especially the bolded part!Some of my work has been marked by teachers besides my own (some who have done HSC marking) and, in comparison to other subjects, it's surprisingly easy to get an A in extended response. If you just say everything that needs to be said + show a bit of flair in how you relate the concepts to recent events, you're pretty much strapped in for an A. Not like English at all. The Short answer marking is a little harsher however, though to less of a degree than say, Chemistry. They're still willing to give you 0 if you make a contradiction and exact terminology + very clear sequencing is required (e.g. A-->B-->C--->D, for stuff like macro policy). This irked me too, but avoid implying stuff in place of explicitly saying it. You might feel like you're talking down to the marker, but it honestly improves clarity (sometimes at the risk of sounding basic, but balance it out).
Tbh i find my eco teacher marks fairly easy, i mean very easy however he usually complains that the HSC eco markers mark easy. So im guessing that eco is marked fairly easy.Yeah pretty much hoping for 93 but dunno how hard it'll be.
You serious when you say 90 raw is easy>?
Dat logic.Tbh i find my eco teacher marks fairly easy, i mean very easy however he usually complains that the HSC eco markers mark easy. So im guessing that eco is marked fairly easy.
