You get the highest HSC mark achieved in your cohort as your own moderated external mark.

No, the point of the HSC is to reward constant application.

No, because what shadowdude described only applies to your INTERNAL mark, which is 50% of your HSC. What you get in the final exam will be your external mark, so you still need to put in the effort.

Actually, if there is a tie, you get the average of the top X external scores. X being the number of people tied on rank 1.

Yes.

You get two marks, internal and external. Internal is that moderated internal mark I said before, and external is how you, yourself go in the HSC exam.

They get the average of the top xxx number of marks - if two equal first they get the average of the top two marks. If three equals then they get the average of the top three marks.

What about if your coming second? i.e. Business Studies tied 2nd by 3% (88%-91%), Economics tied 2nd by 4% (86-90%)

 

[bertstare]

If someone came last in the HSC for their school, would they get the lowest moderated internal mark?

Say I got the 20th highest exam mark in the HSC, would that mean I take the 20th highest moderated internal mark?

This is what I meant. Thank you.
