Hi, i had two question that i was hoping someone would clarify for me.

1. In maths extension, i heard my teacher saying something about how the mark for extension 1 of a 3-unit maths student is not compared to the extension 1 mark of a 4 unit student. Is there any truth behind this, i might have misunderstood. Or perhaps something along these lines happens.
2. The second thing doesnt relate to maths specifically, but ill ask it because its occuring in the Mathematics course. What happens in terms of moderated assesment marks in the situation of two people come equal first. Who will be moderated as the highest and who will get the second highest. (This is currently happening in my maths class where i have gotten exactly the same marks as another student in both test and we are equal first).

1.The mark of an Extension 1 student is compared to the mark of an extension 2 student in the extension one course. i.e they are all ranked together.

2.Im not sure about the second one but i think that if your both equal first then you will both receive the highest exam mark as your moderated assessment mark

2. The average of the 2 highest HSC examination marks will become the moderated assessment mark of those 2 people ranked equal first.

So for example, Person A and person B are ranked equal first.

Person A gets the highest HSC exam mark of 90/100
Person B gets the second highest exam mark of 88/100

The average of the two highest i.e. 89/100 will become both their moderated assessment mark.
