Fuck off that's bullshitYeah! So its 12.5% of your whole mark for the HSC for that subject
I'm curious, can you explain why?It's the internal rank that matters more, not the mark
Well they don't base it off raw marks. If they did, schools which give out marks or set easy tasks willy-nilly would unfairly advantage their students.I'm curious, can you explain why?
Oh but I heard that BOS does something called 'moderation' which is based off the raw marks: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.htmlWell they don't base it off raw marks.

I recommend reading this article, it explains it well.
They moderate the raw marks of the HSC exam. Then after that they give the highest exam mark to the top ranked student INTERNALLY (which is why rank matters) and the lowest mark to the lowest rank. Then they add up the rest and distribute it or something. For example, your school submits you first on 100 assessment, but the highest in your cohort is 90 in the HSC after moderation then the highest assessment mark is 90.Oh but I heard that BOS does something called 'moderation' which is based off the raw marks: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html
Can you elaborate?

I know my school and many other schools submit boosted assessment marks but they mainly DECREASE the gap between each student to boost the cohort up overall.
I'm not sure if my explanation was right but it's the general idea...
I think essentially the only ranks that really matter in that sense are first and last. Other than those, I think your marks are based on the distribution of internal marks and relative gaps etc. (from memory).They moderate the raw marks of the HSC exam.

Do you know that marks matter a great deal? Your rank is mostly irrelevant. Ranks are not a factor in the calculation of your assessment mark.Exactly
That's why you don't trust these fucking idiots and trolls on this forum who say "25% internal is 12.5% of the total HSC" when clearly it's fucking not
