ranks? (2 Viewers)

[Exeter]

yeh i go to baulkham hills high school and for some reason they dont tell us our ranks?
are we entitled to them or whats the deal with them?

You're entitled to them once all of your assessments have been completed - official BOS rule.

However, they're not meant to give you your final marks (even though you should be able to work them out anyway). Just the ranks.

if the marks are close then if you know your rank there shouldn't be any reason why you can't work out your mark...

 

[bubz :D]

yeah for some reason a lot of the teachers at my school are reluctant to give our ranks.... -_-

*Sigh* why do i see this question over and over again??
FOR THE LAST TIME, RANK is more important!!!

 

[deyveed]

Hey...now what about the relative difference thing that can only be determined by the marks?
And wouldn't marks be more important because they determine ranks?

 

[Lazarus]

If a student's rank or a student's mark in a particular course is the only piece of knowledge that you have about them, the rank is far more valuable. There is no way to evaluate the performance of a student who has a raw assessment mark of, say, 75. However, if instead of that mark you knew that the student was ranked 2/35, you can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that the student is doing well.

As students rarely know the marks of every other student in their class, they are forced to guage their performance by their rank. A student's mark is only significant in the context of all of the marks for their entire class.

 

[Golani]

marks are subjective because the standard of assessment tasks vary between school, therefore it would be unfair to judge marks, and would leave room for certain misconducts.
Ranks are objective because they are determined only within the schools, and are determined by the same assessment tasks, so that the best student in a certain subject will predominantly end up topping that subject, achieving the rank of 1.

you have to consider that im thinking that you will achieve those similar marks in the external exam as well.

So you have to take account that the exams you did are similarily comparable to the hsc standard

 

[Shocker_85]

yeah we did all external papers--CSSA.. n yeah.. ihave posted our final marks...is it ok?

 

[Ragerunner]

wow. those marks look almost alike to yours.

no wonder you are twins

but i think your UAI will be slightly higher
