This is for someone else but...

If I was rank 2nd on 95% and rank 1st was 95.5% (raw internal mark), and the highest exam mark was 100, ik rank 1 would get a moderated internal of 100.

Would rank 2nd automatically get 99 moderated internal, regardless of anyone else marks?

Since NESA takes into account the gaps between ranks, and this is a very small gap, would I get 99 if the highest was 100, even if the next highest exam mark was 95 lets say?

If rank 1st is on 95.5% and last is like 90% (and then last gets like 60% in the hsc) then no, if the spread is bigger in internals and smaller in externals then maybe

the spread for internals is like 20% to 95.5% with 100 people (these numbers are not exact btw)
in the hsc most will get band 5 and 6.
so will 2nd auto be 99 if highest is 100?
or same if highest is 99, will 2nd auto be 98

i thought second person would get second highest mark
no thats not how it works.
- rank 1 gets highest exam mark as their moderated internal
- rank last gets lowest (where possible)
- everyone elese is moderated acording to rank as well as gaps between ranks

I have a situation like this

I'm 2nd by 1 mark (48.00 vs. 47.00 [my school rounds marks they send in to nesa for some reason]) in a pretty big cohort for sor (~50 ppl), will I get very very close to the top moderated internal mark in a really spread cohort (lots of retards)?

not exactly, it’s based on the mark differences between ranks as well
yes ik, but 95.5 is highest and 95 is 2nd, since the difference is 0.5, will the moderated internal of 2nd be auto 1 lower than 1st

yeah it’d probably be 97-98, it depends on a lot of factors (like if the hsc and internal marks are negatively or positively skewed) and NESA doesn’t go into tons of detail on the exact approach but yes

yeah 97-98 is usually what our school gets for 1st in this subject.
ig it just shows you only need 1 person to excel and everyone else is lifted (if you are near the top of cohort, if you are in the middle or low - you need everyone to do well)

honestly you don’t need to worry about it a ton, in 90% of cases it might as well just be your ranking it’s a pretty minor difference
not for my engo last year.....
2 people got 95, 2 got 93 that i know of
my internal for rank 3 was 92, rank 2 internal was 93
the gap was only 1-2% also

if 1 person does way better than everyone else it both pushes the top people up a fair bit but because the middle marks sum is the exact same it also brings the bottom people down a fair bit - it’s a double edged sword

I mean yeah but that’s a one mark difference and it can go both ways so it sorta averages out, the main time it makes a big difference is in cohorts with a big gap but most people aren’t in that situation

talking about big gap
there is a particuallr subject with 100 people (i dont take it)
- 1st is 99%
- 2nd is 90%
- 3rd is like 88%

when they take into account the gap, the moderated marks for rank 2 and below aren't looking good.
it is a 1 unit subject so,
- 1st will get like 49
- 2nd will get like 46 i guess?

yeah again it’s hard to say because it depends on the skew of the data and a lot of other factors but probably something like that.
