How would moderation work in a class of 2 students? (1 Viewer)

[raggiedoll]

Hello,

I go to a top 40 school and do French Extension, where students have gotten an E4 consistently each year. However, this year there's only myself and another student, and for Mid-Course I got 80%, whereas she got 90%. How exactly is this going to work out in the end if she's first and I'm last?

Also, for French Continuers, there's five of us. For Mid-Course, the same student who does French Extension got 100%, I got 98%, the next mark was 92% and the others were in the mid to late 80s. Also, this test was NOT marked easy - our school has gotten state ranks for this subject before. If I'm ranked second, will my mark still be pulled down by much even if I could possibly be considered an 'outlier'?

And I know the importance of coming first in a subject, but honestly, the student coming first is aiming for 99.95 and I'm really trying my hardest. So don't tell me "just aim for first" because I already am!

I've read that but it doesn't say anything about an abnormally small class size - there's only a first and last.

I supose it all depends on your overall mark. Work hard and you'll get the mark you deserve! There's only 5 people in my language class.

2 students:

1st student - first
2nd student - last

it's no different from a cohort of 10 or 200

Okay, so would that mean that if the other student got a higher internal mark in the end, that my internal mark would be the mean of our two marks combined? And if I got a higher external mark than her, we'd end up getting the same external mark anyway? Sorry if I sound stupid.

why don't you stop worrying about how marks are calculated/scaled/aligned and start studying
