Question about State rankings (2 Viewers)

[D94]

What if for example, a class had only 1 student in it and they did not try at all for their assessments, thus receiving terrible results, but did extremely well on the exam? Would the assessment mark = the external mark? I know this is very hypothetical...

Yes of course. Why would it not be?

So what if there was a tie for 3u. But one of these students did 2u whilst the other did 4u?

it's very unlikely but if that ever happens maybe they then look at school rankings.

What if from same school each comes 1st in each subject.

I guess they would put equal first.

If you come first internally and externally (at your school), is your internal "mark" equal to your exam mark? If not, does someone know (precisely!) how your internal "mark" is calculated based on your position in the spread of internal and external marks at your school in this subject? (and any other factors that may be involved?) A link to something official would be amazing.

This is probably the closest thing I could find.

How so?.

there are so many factors; even the smallest difference could have an impact?

Yes of course. Why would it not be?

One reason could be that it essentially makes internal assessments meaningless.

Cheers, exactly what I was looking for...it turns out it is quadratic interpolation (with modifications in special cases.)

WTF! This is gold, but technical

Well you didn't need that link to find out it was a quadratic (I assume you are referring to assessment marks). As before: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html

Conversion graph

The conversion relating the moderated assessments to the school assessments is given by a curve (a quadratic function) rather than a straight line.

Of course that document goes into more technicality than the website.

Ah it does indeed say quadratic there, I didn't read that far before.

Please stay on topic people.
