If you're in a top 5 school and you do pretty bad (like near last in all subjects), does that still guarantee you a high ATAR because of your cohort?

Is internal assessments all about your ranking within the school? Or does the mark also count? Because I had an economics exam recently, worth 10% and I might have gotten as low as 80% or maybe less. But if I rank well, is this good? Or will the low mark also have an impact?

A hypothetical ranking outcome for 2016 hsc... School ranking: mid 30s SDD: 3/7 3u: 25/60 4u: 19/20 Eco: 14/48 Eng adv: 45/~200

Hi, I do advanced english. Furthermore, is that low-mid 90s with scaling? (i.e. final marks)

Hi everyone. My school is ranked mid 30s as of last year. What ranks do I need to get (minimum) to be in the running for a 99+ atar? Subjects: 3u maths (Total: ~60-70 people) 4u maths (Total: 20 people) SDD (Total: 7 people) Economics (Total: 48 people)

Hi everyone. I was just wondering, is the HSC mark (average of assessment mark/exam mark) scaled? For example, say I got 70% in 4unit maths external exam (which would scale to say 95% for example). When I receive my HSC results in december, will it say 95% in the "Exam Mark" section or 70%? i.e...

Thanks very much for your efforts, much appreciated. I will start looking at those past papers immediately in the coming weeks!

Ah, thanks! Well, all in proportion I guess -> relatively easier 4u exam would require a higher raw mark I guess.

Cheers! What do you mean 'aren't just memorised'?

Hi everyone! What raw marks in the externals would be needed to get band 6? approx: 1.) Software Design and Development 2.) Mathematics Extension 1 3.) Mathematics Extension 2 4.) Physics 5.) Economics 6.) English Advanced Thanks! Also, is it easier to get a band 6 in physics than economics?

Thanks, I'll study hard for the next assessments!

Thanks! I'll keep reading the textbook, and try to memorise some important stats, even though there's heaps...

But that's only applicable for essay writing isn't it? Are stats necessary for multiple-choice and short answers?

Thanks!

Thanks leehuan.

Hi everyone, my first 4u internal exam last term (term 4 year 11) was worth 10% to my internals for HSC. I don't know what happened, lack of preparation/exam technique or what not, I completely failed it -> 51% -> which ranks me around 18/20 in my school (ranked in mid 30s). In the holidays I...

Hi everyone! I have an exam coming up in a few weeks (19th feb). It's on topic 1 - globalisation and chapters 4/5 of topic 2 - Australia's place in the global economy. The exam is 30 marks multiple choice and 20 marks short answer. I was just wondering, what's a good way to study for this? So...

Hi guys, you might have seen another post by me asking for an atar estimate. I just wanted to consider a hypothetical worst case scenario(ranks below). Sorry if this is an annoyance, but I promise I won't ask again haha, so, same subjects but with different ranks. Mathematics Extension 1...

By the way, our rankings jumped quite a lot. Just last year we were nearly 60, does that have any impact at all?

98s? Really? I wasn't expecting that high just quite yet....even though my aim is 99+ so that's great news. Perhaps with some more pushing I can get up even higher.
