how to state rank? (2 Viewers)

[Cute-Duckie]

Can you please explain, when 2 people get same marks on what basis NESA choose who should be given state rank? Say 2 people get 97 in HSC Biology and it is a state rank equivalent scores, and only one gets state rank, on what basis this decision would be taken?

they'll often go into decimal points, or compare their answers side by side to determine whose is better
