    Scaling VS Mark VS Rank

    Ok so hypothetically speaking. If you have somebody ranked 1st in a subject (lets say legal) with an internal of 72, and 2nd place is 68 and 2nd place internal gets 80 raw in the HSC whilst 1st place internal gets 72 raw in the HSC, what would happen? Would 1st steal that mark? Would they both...

    the importance of ranking for external exams

    hey guys! recently my teacher was explaining to us that if you're ranked number 1 for your internals your hsc exam performance doesn't really matter because you will end up getting whatever the highest mark achieved was, even if it was by another student. but wouldn't this be very unfair for...

    Can 2 people rank first?

    Me and this guy were so close in English there was a 0.7 course mark difference. It got me pondering... Is it possible for schools to submit 2 people as first to NESA? What if there is a genuine tie??

    internal rankings

    i'm so sorry if this is very dramatic, but i'm ranked second in business studies. i am very happy but at the same time i am annoyed because my average got beaten by 0.20% even though i performed better in trials (but stuffed up the take home assignments). i heard that if internal rankings are...

    Will My High Rank Effect Me

    So i'm ranked high in business (like 2nd or 3rd) but the girl above me has a history of skipping exams and, getting a med cert and doing the exam whenever she wants. She isn't academically inclined but crams well and she is ranked above me. Lets say hypothetically I get 90 in the actual HSC, she...

    Does a cohort of <8 mean you get your own mark?

    is it true that if you have a class of less than 8 people, ranks dont affect your marks and you get your own marks in the hsc, not anyone elses? I know I've asked this before, but i asked my teacher, who is like the most trustworthy teacher at my school, and she doubled down. I told her that I...

    is it joever for my wishes of 80+ ATAR?

    Chemistry: 19/20 English Adv: Rank 9, might change for the worse. Ext 1: Rank 4/11 Ext 2: Rank 1/6 Math Standard: Rank 15/60 SOR 1: Rank 28/60 - will improve, one time fluke Biology: 7/30 I want to get a minimum of 80 ATAR. Chemistry is holding me down, is it still possible? I have 11 units.

    Internal Ranking

    Hey guys just got my first semester reports and I placed 21/31 in one of my classes with an assessment mark worth 30%. will this severely impact my Atar? I have been first consistently for this class in year 11, this was the first exam of year 12 and I was just very unprepared, if I get high...

    Highest ATAR at your school + school rank?

    i’m expecting all of the responses to be crazy since you all seem to come from rich schools but mines pretty sad lol. My schools like 400+ and the highest ATAR last year was like 91.75 and i think the year before was about 94. and keep in mind there was likely only one or two people that would...

    Poorly ranked school but want a 95+ ATAR

    Hey guys, I'm currently in year 12, went to a fairly good school ranked in the 100s, and the cohort was great. However I just moved to a rural area and thus had to move to my local school, which is ranked in the 800s, and this year I believe, there were only 2 students who got 1 band six each...

    Question about ranked marks

    As we understand, your final HSC mark is a combination of your external exam mark, and the internal being roughly the exam mark of the student in your cohort who achieves the same rank in the exam as you received as your internal ranking. But how strictly does this follow? What if, for example...
