So I've started helping some students with the studies of Religion course and I was wondering what is the general consensus about the difficulty of the course. I find it quite straightforward which makes me question how well it scales at the HSC. As in what raw mark would get you a band 6 - I'm guessing it will have to be quite a high raw mark!

From what I've heard, SOR II is pretty easy except for the last part "religion and peace" or something like that. As for its scaling, it scales average (about the same as ancient history). Its aligning is average as well (low-mid 80's aligns to a band 6 I think)

My guess would be around 94-96. I havent seen any official raw mark conversion for SOR, but with most humanities subjects (legal, modern, ancient) the aligning is similar and I know modern is around low-mid 80's so I went off that.

SOR II multiple choice - fuckin ridiculous

the answers they provide are just an absolute joke along with the questions. Only for religion in australia post 1945 or whatever the hell it is

religion and non-religion is fairly straightforward
