sorry if this been asked before but I thought I had a decent understanding of how this process works but apparently not. So I’m familiar with the whole process of moderating ur internal assessment marks based off your ranking and taking the average of that ranking in the hsc w your own external mark. Say my average was 80 in extension 1, I assume this constitutes to a band 6 right since scaling right?
Cause I don’t know where I heard this but someone told me that the band performance is based off purely (without scaling) your average of the hsc exam mark and assessment marks after moderation, where scaling is a different process applied after, only used for atar calculation but i thought scaling would be used to boost or lower the average u had to affect your band performance. So maybe I’m misinterpreting him or can someone clarify if I was right in my thinking all along stressing me out cause my internal rank is already bad so this makes me lose incentive to try hard in the hsc if it means I don’t get a band 6 etc
