Essentially is there any difference if a school sends in this marks for 2 students:

First Way:
- Student 1: 90
- Student 2: 60

Second Way:
- Student 1: 80
- Student 2: 75

Cause isnt it that they dont know the actual differance cause there are only two students? they only know that one is 'better' than the other?

That's right... student 1 will receive the top exam mark as their moderated assessment mark and student 2 will receive the other exam mark as their moderated assessment mark. When there are merely two students, this is the only way to ensure that the mean of the assessment marks will be the same as the mean of the exam marks.

ok, so, for example in english adv 2 unit

i got 71/100 due to poor results across the year in the trials.
i was ranked =49th out of 140 ppl before the trials.

Scenario:
If someone gets 88/100 in the school assessments (added up) and is ranked first at school, is the relative difference 17 marks? and so if someone gets a 100 in the HSC exam, my moderated assessment could be 83?

can someone estimate my marks? if i get 86 for my english HSC exam?

i think to estimate, we need to know all of the assessment marks and exam marks of your class.:D

That would only occur if every student's exam mark was exactly 12 marks above their raw assessment mark. Otherwise, there would be variations. But it's possible. :)

Hey everyone,

Ok I'm really worried about the trials. I have a few questions

  1. I heard somewhere that there are three components to determining your HSC Mark.. the Assesment mark/ trials/ HSC Exam. Is this true?
  2. Reccently I nearly failed my English Trials...however it was only 7.5% weighing...how would his affect my overal mark? My other trials mark was all band 6 and I rank top 5 in all my subjects except for being top 8 in Eng and Ancient Hist.
  3. What would happen if I'm currently ranked 7th in Eng after the trials and got a mark of 98 in HSC Exam, what would my overal mark be? People in my grade generally have evenly spreading marks ranging from 20/100 to 78/100 for the trials.
Please help me somebody! I have a horrible habit of worrying too much... and being clueless, having difficulty keeping up with the rapid pace of high school

1. HSC Exam mark, HSC Assessment Mark, which is the exam mark of the person which correlates to your rank. Only 2 marks count for your overall HSC mark, the trials count as part of your internal assessment, which determines your rank.
2. That mark would only affect your rank, and as such it wouldn't have affected your rank much.
3. If you got a HSC exam mark of 98 in the external HSC exam, and you are ranked 7th, you would get a mark that corresponds to the 7th highest exam mark in your class as your HSC assessment mark, so your overall mark would depend on how high the 7th highest exam mark is.

3 is wrong. Yours is a very rough approximation
