I think that they would, since responses within a full-mark paper may be considered atypical (in the sense that they are of perfect quality) which, according to NESA, warrants the involvement of a senior marker and a supervisor of marking, who will allocate marks.

The Bachelor of Commerce component will be very similar at both universities. As such, you can expect a good quality education from both universities in terms of this degree. There are three key differences that will assist you in making an informed decision: The Bachelor of Arts versus the...

Yes, this is definitely possible, and can happen in any subject as long as the student performs at the highest standard. For example, a BoS user from the 2022 HSC cohort (cyniczny) received 100 as her overall HSC mark in French Beginners and also came first in the state. Assuming that she was...

Keep in mind that the Assessment Marks are adjusted to equal or be similar to equivalent Examination Marks. Examination Marks are the primary element here, not the relative gaps. If an entire cohort receives unfavourable Assessment Marks, then that is caused by unfavourable cohort performance in...

No worries. The term "relative gaps" refers to the relative differences between school assessment marks of different students, i.e. the ones that a school submits to NESA. When moderating, NESA preserves these gaps. Regarding your other question, such HSC exam performance will lead to poorer...

I am assuming that by "HSC Mark" you are referring to the HSC exam mark/Examination Mark, not the overall HSC mark. If so, Student A's Assessment Mark will be adjusted to equal the highest HSC exam mark achieved in their cohort. In this case, the highest HSC exam mark is 95, meaning that Student...

Given this information, your current performance seems to be on track with an ATAR between 95 and 97.5. This means that your ATAR goal is within reach, given your favourable performance across your subjects. English Advanced and Mathematics Advanced are your best-performing subjects. Both...

Pinpointing OP's current level of performance would require specific ranks across her subjects. However, from the information provided, and given my familiarity with SMSHS's current HSC cohort, I can offer some insight. OP's internal performance does not appear consistent with a 90+ ATAR. While...

Yes, scaling is important in the sense that it is used as part of calculating an ATAR. Essentially, an overall HSC mark in a subject consists of two marks, the average of which produces the overall HSC mark. They are the Assessment Mark and the Examination Mark. The Assessment Mark is the mark...

There are two important elements to consider in order to improve your essay writing. First, thorough knowledge and understanding of each module as well as your prescribed texts (including themes, quotes and techniques) are essential. This is because they constitute the foundation that you will...

Given this information, you seem to be on track with an ATAR in the low to mid 90's range. More specifically, that would be an ATAR of at least 90.5 and up to 95. This means that your ATAR goal is within reach. Your performance is essentially favourable across your subjects, although the extent...

That would likely increase the estimate to slightly over 99, specifically between 99.2 and 99.3.
