that's not alignment, that's moderation lol.
shit so internal mark is really really important? like more than hsc
In the end, your assessment mark (internals) and HSC exam mark (externals) are worth 50% of your final HSC mark each. I wouldn't say one is more important than the other as you need to be performing to the best of your abilities in both your internal assessments and trial exams (which is manifest through high ranks) as well as achieving a good result in the HSC exam if you wish to receive a high ATAR.
to add on to this, so even if you're getting like below 80% (like me lol in standard eng), but your rank is really high, if your cohort (or just you if you're coming 1st) pop off in externals you can still bag a high atar. coming 1st with 70% is no different to coming 1st with 100% internally basically. I think the point is that some school have really hard or really easy school assessments, so this kinda balances it out.
Yeah this was how I was able to reach a band 5 as my final HSC mark for maths. I was averaging 70% in my internals but my rank was good enough (36/146) for my assessment mark to go up to 83% and I performed similarly in my HSC exam.
That depends on your ATAR aim. I remember you once mentioning you're aiming for an ATAR in the high 80's? I think the percentiles you suggested would be good enough for you. Of course, it's always best to try to aim as high as possible just to be safe.
that is a question probably impossible to answer, it differs based on ur cohort. like for eg in my school a 80% would be top 3 for standard English lmao while the same % in a top 15 school would probably be below average
I thought she meant what % of school assessment for a high rank or am I tripping?
I interpreted it as "How highly should I be ranked for my rank to be considered safe?"
yesss what do you think for the 90s, top 5-15%?
Yeah generally speaking that should do it, but for a 90+ ATAR your goal should be to rank as high as possible to maximise your chances of getting a high mark.
while its impossible to predict how well your cohort do in their hsc, you have 100% control over your hsc mark which is 50% of it already, but of course doing well in trials and giving your a rank a boost will make your goals a lot easier. usually ppl start sharing notes and helping each other out after trials for the reason of "if everyone do well, I do well".
depends on school rank.
weve ranked 60, 80s now 100ish... HAHAAHAH
im not sure about stats in that region but ye, ur statements before probably correlate to 90+.
