what about EVERYTHING together? As in, I know externals are worth 50%, but since I am crap at maths, what does that make 10 units worth? or 11 or 12 units? Like would one exam paper not be worth that much then because you need to divide everything?

Each subject isn't combined for your HSC. Your Atar tells you what percentage of the state you beat, hence why the top mark is 99.95 as you can't beat yourself. The Atar is determined by your scaled mark in each course being added together from your best 10 units to give you an aggregate out of 500 of which the state is compared to.

best 2 units of english + 8 best ranked units that are not english = ATAR

Peoples, im freaking out. I found the creative the easiest so that's the only one i did. My school told me that you only have to do your most strongest one and the BOS would scale it to a mark out of 40. Am i doomed? BTW, its the same with modules right? Like, you only have to do one? Thanks, and Good Luck!

There is so much wrong with this post I don't know whether to consider you a troll or just really, really stupid.

For the final time for everyone, the board takes all your sections, adds up the total and gives you a mark out of 105, 3 sections are out of 15 which is paper one total 45 and three sections are out of 20 in paper 2 total 60 hence = 105 marks total. There is no removing the 'worst section' or scaling the 'best' section. all questions must be completed as clearly outlined on the front cover sheet of the exam, very simple instructions.

So much troll in this thread. Just read Rafy's post for confirmation of how the HSC is marked.

Wait fuck. You're telling me I didn't have to do all 3 sections? I knew my teachers were incompetant, but not THAT incompetant. No wonder everyone else on here is writing 8 page essays and mine was less than 5 :'(.

Are you sure? I've known barbernator on here for a long time and he's never told me anything that's incorrect.
Trust me. 100%. All my teachers say you need to do all of them, regardless of how crap
