Clearing up question - position or internal mark? (1 Viewer)

[lisraeli]

Hey everyone, I just need one thing cleared up. I've been told by my teachers/deputy that your internal mark does not matter when the exams come around, only your position. As in 1st place will recieve the highest external mark, account for 50%, and the 2nd place wil lreceive the 2nd highest mark.

After coming onto this site and read a few threads and asking a few other people, I'm led to believe that the school DOES send in the internal marks, and they are alligned accordingly from the class average, state average and external mark combined.

Could someone clear this up for me? Which one occurs? Are the internal marks sent in and altered, or are the positions alligning to the ranking in the HSC external exam? Thanks a lot guys

It is the relative differences between the internal marks that matter.

so the internal marks matter, why would our school and some of the threads on this site tell me the wrong thing?

dunno...

I guess it is easier to understand that way and roughly correct.

Can't answer for your school as they would know they send in marks not ranks. Here it is because a lot of people pass on what they have heard, which isn't always correct. Especially when people simplify the system down.
