Confusion about HSC mark (1 Viewer)

[untouchablecuz]

lets say we have a class of 5 people for MX1, and A and B are the top kids:

A: Asses: 93/100, Exam: 91/100
B: Asses: 92/100, Exam: 96/100

so in this case

what are the hsc marks of A and B?

 

[Timothy.Siu]

depends on the rest of the marks.

depends on the rest of the marks.

And whether the internal marks have been already moderated or not.

lets say for the rest of the marks: internally are 86 79 72 and externally 85 84 76, respectively

no moderation: these are raw internals

 

[Timothy.Siu]

then probably 96 and 95 or 96 and 94

 

[annabackwards]

Student A = (96+91)/2 = 93.5 = 94
Student B = (95+96)/2 = 96

Basically, who ever is internally ranked the highest, no matter what happens in the externals, their mark will be the highest.

so person A will remain 92
and person B will get lower than that

No, that isn't how it works. The person ranked the highest will receive the highest external mark as their interal mark, but the overall marked is still the average of both the internal and external. So if the person coming 1st got a crappy external mark then their mark will be dragged down.

For eg last year for 2U maths i ended up with an overall mark higher than a few people ranked higher than me because i aced the external HSC exam, much like student B.

Wrong. I came equal 2nd in internals last year (accelerated 2U maths), but overall, I beat the person who came 1st in the internals..

No...

Seriously, think about this logically. If that was true, how unfair would it be? That's like a death sentence for people who screwed up their Internals.
