I'll provide a snippet of an example of a moderating procedure.Captain pi said:What evidence is there that in cases of two people being ranked first internally the assessment mark for them is the mean of the top two examination marks?
I have evidence to the contrary: two students who ranked equal first internally. In the external exam, the top two exam marks were 96 and 94. Both received an Assessment Mark of 96.

This example shows how the highest moderated score is set when there are two or more students with the highest coursework score.
• Two students (1 and 2) have the same highest coursework score (98).
• The highest moderated score is set equal to the mean of the two highest external scores. These are 99.45 (student 3) and 97.35 (student 6), with a mean of 98.40
