Anyway, just wondering, I was the only person in my school who done a subject and obviously, was ranked 1st. But do I get ranked 1st or ranked last?
Both. Your moderated assessment mark will be set equal to your examination mark. Since you are a class of one, your entire course result comes down to the final exam. Your unmoderated school assessment mark has no value, other than signifying that you completed the required assessment program.

Is it possible my report at graduation was just my Semester 2 rankings and the rankings on this site are for the whole of the year?
yaha
my school refuses to give out final ranks and estimates because they find them unhelpful...i.e stresses people out and encourages competition (which is already rampant)
thus i would have pretty much no idea whether my ranks were right or not - just a vague feeling if they were like 40 places below what i expected...
grrr
so yeah....urs probs would have some discrepancies if that was the case

Ancient: 2/41
Adv. English: 10/183 (this might seem bad, but look at the cohort size. I still wish I didn't lose marks for handwriting)
Ext. Eng: 1/30
Legal: 1/22
Modern: 6/31
Studies of Religion: 1/52

My school ranks 182.

I'm a little disappointed with modern and english, but the gap is pretty small for all of them.

Yep. If you are first, you get the aligned exam mark of the person that came first in the exam as your assessment mark.

oh yeah ok thanks. so these were the subjects:
geography - 1st
drama - 1st
adv english - 7th
society and culture - 1st
legal studies - 1st
modern history - 1st
12 units

and then in the exam there were maybe 2 that will not be brilliant..but the ranks might still let me get over 95 if my school is ranked reasonablly well and the ppl who beat me do well...?

Whats the rank of your school? And note that Eng will count regardless and those arent exactly the strongest subjects..

Remember that the rank of your school last year has no bearing on your results or UAI.

That was last year's rank and the schools are all re-ranked again this year based on this year's results.

That rank is an indication of the quality of the school but it could vary this year - up or down depending on how good your cohort is and how good the other schools are as well.

If he is ranked that high in a Selective High School, he should get Band 6. I mean, school like mine has got 20+ Band 6s even though my school is quite strong at Mathematics.

My school is ranked about 200th and last year most of the maths accelerants (including myself) and what were the *real* year 12s achieved a total of 23 band sixes (about 60 did maths). If a public school can have a third of the students get band 6, then a selective school should be able to.

Wow, that's an amazing result. 23 band sixes out of 60 is really awesome for school ranked 200th.

Mine is ranked 101st and we have like the same results in regards to maths.

But my school is stronger in 3 unit and 4 unit maths because we had 50% of 4 unit students getting top band)

I'm a bit peeved at my school, it sends in heaps and heaps of equal ranks.
Examples -> 5 =1st in MX1
4 =2nd in MX2
6=3rd in Chem
15 =6th in Eng
5 =2nd in phys
etcetera. It gets even worse when you get to the average range (e.g. probably 20+ =30th or something).
In this case the median mark is used right? Is there any reason they would do this?

oh, and my ranks:
1st in MX1
5th in MX2
2nd in Phys
3rd in Chem
20th in eng (gayyyyy)

wow, your ranks are awesome.

You should come like top 5 in the state for mx1 quite easily given your school's history. Same with Physics but not sure about Chem or MX2 though.

Don't worry about English. I am sure you will get Band 6. Then you will be on your way for 99.90+ UAI.
