the way i had to read module c question 10 times to make sure it actually didn’t contain a reflection
ikr i saw imaginative and 20 marks and was like bruh no way but it worked out in the end!!the way i had to read module c question 10 times to make sure it actually didn’t contain a reflection
So your final exam mark is made up from two things:Yes but I'm pretty sure that ur atar uses the HSC mark which is both aligned and moderated. If my school sucks my 81 or 80 could get put down to a 79 or something which would be very annoying.
Although I'd just like to point out that stressing about all this is not productive atm. Rest up this arvo and lets keep pushing... not long now and we will be done with the HSC foreverSo your final exam mark is made up from two things:
(1) EXAM MARK which gets ALIGNED. This is a constant process that occurs no matter what school you go to or what mark you get. It basically involves adding (or, more rarely, subtracting) a constant onto your score to adjust for how hard that specific year's exam was.
(2) ASSESSMENT MARK which gets MODERATED. This is a variable process which uses the exam mark to make sure that the marks your school submitted for you are fair. It involved moving individual students' marks up and down based on how their school performed in the external exams.
Together, these two things form your FINAL HSC MARK, which gets sent to UAC to be scaled and turned into your 500 aggregate.
The process is super complicated so i could be completely wrong, but from the research I have done i think it's accurate.
Where did you get this information from? I darn hope its accurate HAHASo your final exam mark is made up from two things:

facts, stopped thinking about english as soon as exam finished, whats done is doneAlthough I'd just like to point out that stressing about all this is not productive atm. Rest up this arvo and lets keep pushing... not long now and we will be done with the HSC forever
Haha, no place in particular but some great resources are...Where did you get this information from? I darn hope its accurate HAHA
Precisely! The only thing we can do now is keep working on our upcoming exams and look after ourselves. Once marks come out in a few marks we will have forgotten about "Normal Phantom" and the boat dude hahafacts, stopped thinking about english as soon as exam finished, whats done is done
Where is this bonfire hahaYo anyone going to the bonfire in november to burn all our notes
Ye I still think this opens me to get screwed by school rank tho because my english rank isn't 1. For e.g if most ppl in my school do bad in the HSC then the scaling system will think my school sucks and because my rank is low in english it will think I'm a bad student whose internals are inflated. Even with good externals I think that I would get some sort of negative calculation on my hsc mark. In comparison in math and eco i'm coming 1st and my external is 100% dependent on me AFAIK with no negatives on my mark bcuz of my school.So your final exam mark is made up from two things:

Yeah look, who knows. It's up to the ATAR gods nowYe I still think this opens me to get screwed by school rank tho because my english rank isn't 1.

You're right tho that it's not very important rn
yeh this is 100% accurate. had to write a 3000+ word report on the processes of aligning, moderating, scaling along with a worked example —with references to the research paper literally written by the mathematicians who devised the processes — for my school because they were adamant it worked differently (they thought internals determined how your externals are scaled LMAO). anyway its all correct. rawmarks website details the examination mark which is aligned from the raw markSo your final exam mark is made up from two things:

Pretty sure UAC scales straight from your raw marks and that UAC never receives your HSC marks.Haha, no place in particular but some great resources are...

UAC's Site (which details how scaling works)
How your ATAR is calculated
Your ATAR is based on your scaled marks in your best 2 units of English and the best 8 units from your remaining ATAR courses.www.uac.edu.au

If any NESA/UAC geek knows more, I'd love to understand this process more so please do correct me!
Oh ok, yeah that makes sense. I always wondered about that. Thanks!!Pretty sure UAC scales straight from your raw marks and that UAC never receives your HSC marks.
i.e. raw marks go to NESA and UAC. NESA produces your individual subject scores and UAC produces your atar. The two are independent of each other.
Bro people in my class thought a discursive piece was also an imaginative piece was...discursive would've been much BETTER for me but ohh well it is what it is
discursive when written in a certain way is basically imaginative with more internal dialogue to be fair.Bro people in my class thought a discursive piece was also an imaginative piece was...
unbanned?Absolutely disgraceful by NESA. EASIEST EXAM EVER IN HSC ENGLISH HISTORY.
