Your internal school mark is determined purely from rank so your argument is invalid.
how is my comment invalid, i don't understand.
from my knowledge if lets say you are ranked 1st with a score of 70 (after all assesments) your internal school mark can only be 70 . because you are first doesn't mean it goes up to like 90.
they may be ranked 1st but in the state they could be ranked really low. when someone coming 10 th with the score of 90 can easily be higher than someone ranked 1st with a score of 70.

You really don't understand how the internal mark is gathered.

In any school, your mark doesn't matter as long as you have a good rank

mateys, I have shitty marks but i'm ranked pretty well (imo) in the majority of my subjects. That's the only thing that's keeping me from falling into deep depression over my report :haha:
Don't take that away from me :cry:

i disagree i think you will be better off with good marks and a low rank , then having bad marks and a good rank . if they have a good rank with bad marks this is indicating the standard of his year/class (very poor). if he has good marks but low rank obviously his class is of a high standard therefore when it comes to studying and hsc , he will be motivated to work harder (more competion) and will be pulled up by his class mates. having bad marks means they are not trying or able to do that subject therefore will go badly in their hsc and their atar, no matter what they are ranked, will be low. The best thing to do is have both awesome marks and rankng =D

retard. lol

Agreed, for the HSC all that counts is ranks, because in the end the ATAR is a rank
Ranks AND the distance between the ranks.
So, you want the person behind you to be WAY behind you and the person in front to be like .01 in front.

Because I have an opinion doesn't mean u can slate it. Being at a high ranked/high mark school is far better than being at a crap one that’s all I am saying. You think your so big sitting behind a computer and putting people down using discriminating names. Using the term "retard" is extremely disrespectful, so stop using it so lightly!

It was a derogatory statement to emphasise how wrong you were.

Your opinion was uninformed and shit.
High marks don't mean you go to a good school dickwad.
If you get high marks at school with low ranks it probably means your school marks really easy.
E.g. last year one kid got in the high 80s for bio at my school... 4 got band 6s.

look the term up in a dictionary smart arse. it is a term used to describe the mentaly handicaped. i having experience with the mentaly hadicapped find it very offensive. maybe think abit more about consequece before sharing ur "derogative statements". and for the guy who called me a 'dickwad' bit imposible for me to be that as i don't have a dick. piss off back to hogwarts.
anyone else who wants to call me a degrading name and tell me i'm wrong without any evidence (except the few that have been helpful) go ahead -.-

calling it an 'opinion' implies that there are no rights or wrongs, in this case however, what you stated is not an opinion because it is entirely false, retard
