How is state rank determined? Is it students who did well in the whole exam + External Exams or Just exams?
handwriting (as a former state ranker)A bit irrelevant but does anyone know how tiebreaker works in determining state ranks? Like many people can get 100 in maths but not all of them come 1st.
only the internal rank affects state rank. If two people from the same school tie on the HSC exam but one is ahead of the other internally, then the one that is ahead should be getting a higher SRThey should really base state ranks on only externals imo. The final exam is the fairest representation of you as a student. Plus, everyone sits the exact same exam.
what if person 1 is ranked internally higher than person 2 but gets lower in the hsc exam than person 2, what happens then? does person 1 still get a higher state rankonly the internal rank affects state rank. If two people from the same school tie on the HSC exam but one is ahead of the other internally, then the one that is ahead should be getting a higher SR
I think you missed my point. And yes I do understand that if they based sr on only the HSC then it would be fair to assume a lot of people will be getting those equal high marks which would create a dilemma on who should receive sr.only the internal rank affects state rank.

person 2 may not be getting a state rank but i think is more likely to receive one (but it is possible especially in higher ranked schools - i have heard of 2nds internally getting an SR)what if person 1 is ranked internally higher than person 2 but gets lower in the hsc exam than person 2, what happens then? does person 1 still get a higher state rank
not too sure how it works, but iirc generally a higher external mark is favourable.what if person 1 is ranked internally higher than person 2 but gets lower in the hsc exam than person 2, what happens then? does person 1 still get a higher state rank
