Errr... can someone explain to me the significance of ranks. I still dont get it!! And why did that girl say her maths marks are in the process of being scaled? Don't they get scaled in the end with everyone else in the state?

Your final assessment mark is scaled according to your rank and the z-score of your rank away from the mean mark. I'm not a huge authority on it (although I am on my hair), but that is the general gist of it. If you come first in the exam, the person coming first in the assessments essentially gets your mark. After that, the results are distributed by the z-score of each assessment mark. The assessment mark and that mark are then averaged to form the final assessment mark, which is then averaged with your external exam mark to determine your ultimate mark in the subject.

I'm probably wrong, but that is basically it.

Fair enough. I think I'm a bit the same actually, my ranks are fairly decent but my marks need a lot of work.

The Board of Studies won't take that as an excuse. Might have to start teaching yourself.

No, the teacher knows every detail concerning the course, however he does not like a persons opinion, unless it corresponds with his own opinion and point of view. I know all the facts i just have to formulate a precise answer.

...So your views conflict with his and he marks you down as a result?
