(1/1)

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  ;D

Hey! Welcome to the forums! ;D

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. ;D

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.
