State Rank?

[Strategos]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know what mark one should aim for in order to attain a top 20 rank for tomorrow's test? I'm really curious to know.
Thanks

Hey! Welcome to the forums!

So, the maximum mark in Ancient History exam last year was 99/100 after moderation. That, combined with the likely band cut offs for last year, I'd suggest that 96/100 or more RAW would be the marks you'd looking at to begin being considered for a state rank. Totally depends on performance of your cohort and stuff like that, obviously, but my guess would be that in that Top 20 no-one would have gotten far below 99, which means you can't be far below about 97 before moderation.

Speaking roughly, 95%+ marks in the exam on the day.

Thanks so much for that, gave me peace of mind! My trials mark was 95, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make the top 20 cut. Now I'm confident I can top that knowing i'm not too far off.

Best of luck! Be sure to come on back to the forums afterwards and let us know how you think you went!
