If someone in second place is behind first by about 2% by the time all internal assessments are over and this person performs better externally than the person ranked first, who gets the better final hsc mark? Cheers guys.

Depends, but it will work itself out these type of things. Trust me.

It depends on a variety of factors, but the person ranked second could potentially end up with higher mark.

Person A - 1st
Exam mark - 92
Assessment mark - 95
HSC Mark - 94

Person B - 2nd
Exam mark - 95
Assessment mark - 94
HSC Mark - 95

^This is an example where second internally comes first in the overall hsc marks. Because the gap is pretty small, the assessment can/would look like the above, even the same in some cases. So yes, it can happen, especially with such a small gap internally.

Would any of this be correct?

Physics cohort: 5

1: 92%
2: 91%
3: 85%
4: 70%
5: 60%

Exam Marks | Moderated Assessment Marks:

1: 90 | 95
2: 93 | 94
3: 95 | 90/91
4: 85 | 81
5: 70 | 70

Range: 70 (~50% raw) -95 (~88% raw) = 38%.
Range in marks at school: 60-92 = 32%.
Therefore all marks are moderated from 32 -> 38 total range

Person 1 takes the highest scoring exam mark as their assessment mark.
Person 2 scored 93, and came second by 1%, hence the 1% changes a bit higher due to the higher range (38/32=1.1875%), effectively leaving him 1.875% below a raw score of 88%, which is probably about 94 (aligned).
Person 3 scored the highest, but was trailing behind 2nd by 6% in internals, which is then further moderated up to ~7.125%. Person 3 gets (88-1.1875%)-(7.125%) = 79.6925% = roughly 90/91 aligned
Person 4 was trailing 15% behind other dude, which is moderated up to 15*(38/32)=17.8125%. Thus it becomes 79.6925% - 17.8125% = 61.88% = roughly 81 aligned
Person 5 keeps their exam mark as their assessment mark.

When they moderate internal marks, do they moderate the external HSC marks or moderate the external raw marks to arrive at the internal mark?

So say I'm 2nd by 1%, in a very general case, would my internal mark be 1 HSC mark behind the highest external HSC mark, or 1 raw mark behind the highest external raw mark?

Not sure, but I assumed they used raw marks (for accuracy) in my above post though. They most likely align everything last. Can't be too sure though.
