How does the performance of the people in your school doing the same unit as you matter in relation to calculation of the scaled HSC mark- the mark which contributes to your UAI (NOT ALIGNED MARKS), either than determining your school rank/moderated assessment mark. And if so, how much will it be a factor.

In other words- does someone who is ranked first in a selective school have an advantage amongst someone who is also ranked first in the same subject, but comes from a normal school, providing they receive the same raw examination mark?

It only affects the ranking of your current school not individuals.

The only advantage of going to a highly ranked school is probably better teachers (not always he case though)
