State Ranking (2 Viewers)

[D94]

I'm curious, are you saying that ranks are important for internals (and marks are only important to get that rank) and the hsc exam mark is important for externals?

No.

For the student who is ranked first, the way moderation works is that their assessment mark is equal to the highest HSC exam mark of any student in the cohort. For the other ranks, there are actual calculations in determining the assessment mark. It isn't simply the nth rank gets the nth highest exam mark. It's very important for students to gain as many school marks as possible.

The HSC exam mark is used in the calculations for the assessment mark.

WOW that helped a lot! The part you said the other ranks have calculations and nth rank doesnt get nth mark. Was an eye-opener for me ) Thanks heaps!
