State Ranks (4 Viewers)

Overall mark I believe. I got a 98 external last year as well but my 92 internal dragged it down

 

[Interdrama]

are state rankings based on the external mark, or is it the overall mark?
i also got a 98 for english advanced, but because of my poorer assessment mark, my overall was 97 >_o
the parentals are eagerly awaiting something, but my hopes aren't up ><"

Me too, I got a 98 for agriculture external, but because of my poorer assessment mark my overall was 97. Does anyone know at what time the state rankings come out?

ahhh okay, ty,

^Interdrama, you will definitely get a state rank for agriculture. at least, i think so. i know a person last year who got 96 overall [i believe it was a 98 external, 94 internal combination, or something like that] who got state ranked =)

Really? I was under the impression that state ranks were awarded on the basis of external marks only.

Someone who ranked equal 3rd (I think) in my grade topped the state for adv eng, she got 99 externally and I got 98 externally (so our overall HSC mark would be the same?).

Meh, guess I'll just wait and see.

 

[nutcracker]

perhaps they just use the internal mark to differentiate between those who have the same high external mark?
but yes, nothing to do but to wait and see.

Is 100 in mathematics a state ranking if I got a 99 internal assessment mark and a 100 examination mark? I'm confused :s

Depends if there are a lot of people with both 100 examination and internal assessment marks. If it's for 2u maths, maybe not =\ but for 3u and 4u, that will most likely get a state rank.

Meanwhile, refresh this page http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ebos/static/ebos_stats.html until 'top achievers in course' comes up for 2010, usually it's on day of HSC results but maybe not this year =__=

It probably would be, but there are a lot of high scorers in Mathematics. I haven't look at the stats in a while.

 

[chloeboat]

Noooo

I got a 98 exam mark in Ancient but I was 3rd internally so my overall is 97. Most displeased, so close yet so far.

 

[speedofsound]

since we're on the subject, out of curiousity, if part of the mark in a subject is a major work (say like 30% or 40%) is that also considered along with internal assessment and how you did in the final exam for calculating state ranks?

 

[Interdrama]

Do we get anything if we get a state ranking? Like a special certificate or something?

 

[nutcracker]

^ i'd also like to know
atm, my mother is planning on framing the newspaper, where my name is probably going to take up 3cm of space >>.

 

[Absolutezero]

3cm if your lucky.

For the band 6 scorers, they cram them in. The font is tiny.

 

[nutcracker]

haha yeah, but my name is super super long >_o

 

[ibbi00]
