Speaking of which, I really don't understand how does the cohort thing work...
so for example if I ranked 14/55 in my economics cohort, does that mean I will get the mark from whoever ranked 14th in my school in the economics hsc exam.
If so what's the point we still study hard to do the exams?(especially for those ranked really low, even if they had a academic comeback in hsc, it's still gonna be somebody else's mark)
ngl english adv is my best subject love unseen questions (dont come at me its a unpopular opinion)

good luck lol
The overall HSC mark that you receive in a subject (in this case, Economics), consists of two marks, the average of which produces the HSC mark. The first mark is the Assessment Mark, which reflects your internal performance in the subject. This is the mark that is determined according to your rank relative to your cohort as well as the performance of your cohort in the HSC exam.
The second mark is the Examination Mark, which is the mark that you receive for your HSC exam. This mark depends solely on your own performance in the HSC exam of the subject, and is not affected by factors such as your rank relative to your cohort or your school rank.

here are the two times ive explained, idk which is better
EXPLANATION 1
in your school cohort, all your ranks are recorded and the size of the gaps between ranks are also recorded and they are sent to nesa. the actual marks themselves have no effect, only the rank and the size of the gaps.
ALIGNMENT: you will then all sit the hsc and get a raw mark for the exam, this mark will not be reported (you have to pay for it). after this, your raw exam mark is aligned to get your reported Exam mark.
MODERATION: your moderated assessment mark (the reported internal mark) are then based on your school cohorts' Exam marks (the aligned ones that are reported).
rank 1 gets the highest exam mark (that someone in your school got) as their moderated assessment mark, and rank last gets the bottom mark (where possible), as their moderated assessment mark.
all other ranks get moderated assessment marks (reported internal mark) based on the marks people in your school cohort got in the HSC. These moderated assessment marks are based on your own rank and the gap between ranks. The total of the aligned exam marks for your school has to equal to the total of the moderated assessment marks.
these two marks for each individual are averaged (and rounded up if needed), to get your final HSC mark.
SCALING: these hsc marks are sent to UAC who scale each of your marks and the best 10 units are put towards an aggregate out of 500 (50 per unit). this aggregate determines your atar!
EXPLANATION 2
NESA:
alignment: raw exam marks --> exam mark
moderation: ranks and gaps --> assessment mark (based on cohort exam performance and ranks)
HSC mark = average of these two marks
UAC:
scaling: hsc marks --> scaled mark --> aggregate (total of scaled marks) --> atar
(note: only bold marks are ones you actually find out)
