Unortunately this is not the case. It is possible to have equal ranking. The BOS only takes whole numbers for assessment marks from teachers. In equally ranked cases, e.g. Person A and B are ranked first in a subject, the moderated assessment mark will be the average of the 2 highest external...

I did Honours in BABS last year (2007) and personally I thought the school actually supports you quite well throughout the year. It is an intense year of scientific training and it literally pushes you to the edge and while you're doing it you feel like it's not worth it, but at the end of it...

Now how do I summarise a four year degree in one post?! :D Personally, I've learned that you need a lot of committment to make it through. There were days when I thought I should just give up, especially in third year when there were so many lectures/contents to learn for the final exams...

Interleukins are secreted by all kinds of cells, not just Helper T cells and macrophages. e.g. neutrophils also secrete interluekins, so do cytotoxic T cells (CD8 T cells), intestinal epithalial cells etc.

Yes it is still possible to achieve 80s in your final HSC marks. It will heavily depends on how well your cohort performs as a whole in each of your subject. In addition, it will depends on how you perform in the HSC exam - do you believe you can score 90+ in all of your subjects given you did...

You will definitely need to study chemistry in first year and possibly in subsequent years depending on the flexibility of the program at CSU. First year Chemistry has at least HSC chemistry as assumed knowledge. Non-Advanced version of the subject may have Year 11 as assumed knowledge. In...

oh tim, stop scaring the first years :D

Only if these two units of study is two of the best units. And no, topping doesn't mean you will be awarded with a scaled mark of 100/100 for those two units.

It's almost impossible for me to say because your internal mark will be influenced by how well your cohort performs. The worse your cohort performs the lower your internal mark, which means the better you need to perform externally to acheive a your desire mark.

Don't lose hope! It is still very satisfying to perform well in the external exam regardless of your internal mark. I know the HSC is everything to you at the moment but believe me there is so much more to do and achieve after high school and the HSC is just a small part in your life that will...

Yes, provided you do extremely well in the external exam and your cohort, as a whole, also do well. It will mean the final gap in the moderated assessment marks between the top 10 and the non-Top 10 group will be relatively large if the external marks also reflect the same story.

You would get 90 as your external mark, and roughly the 17th best external mark as your moderated assessment mark, whatever that may be acheived by your cohort. The average of the two forms the final HSC mark. It is actually quite fair. Students can't just happen to perform well in one final...

I'm good also. I'm having an annual PhD progress review in the next few week looking at what we have done (or haven't done) during the first 9 months of our PhD. This involves giving a presentation to the school (*sighs*) and write a 5 page report. argh. I guess this whole process helps keep us...

Hey PwarYuex! How are you going? Is this your final year?

Yes it is entirely possible! Yes! Also entirely possible. Yes the 1st person will ALWAYS get the top external mark as his/her moderated assessment mark, meaning this person will receive his "bad" external exam mark (in your case, 85), and a "good" moderated assessment mark (95 - if 95 is...

No. The external HSC marks achieved by students cannot change the internal ranking achieved by a student in a school over the entire HSC year. When students achieve equal first, the moderated assessment mark will be the same for both individuals (and I've seen that happened before). I know it...

Re: 回复: Re: 回复: HSC marks and Examination marks friction, please refer to this thread for more information about moderating and a document published by the BOS explaining the entire process and see whether "special consideration" applies in yor case...

Yes there can be a decimal that seperates equal first or second etc. but when teachers report the internal marks to BOS they must be a whole number (I think BOS don't take into account decimals anyway even when they are reported). If there is a tie for second and roughly the 2nd and 3rd best...

That will entirely depends on how well your cohort performs in the HSC, especially between the top 5 positions. For example, if your cohort did very well and the top 5 external marks ranges from 91 (highest, one of this) to 90 (4 of this), then it is likely that 2nd-5th ranked students will all...

Roughly calculating: A = average of 75 and 95 = 85 B = average of 82 and ~88 =~85 C = average of 88 and ~82 = ~85 D = average of 95 and ~81= ~88 E = average of 81 and 75 = 78 B, C and D may all have a slightly different moderated assessment mark (a indicated by the "~" sign). This...
