If your ranked top 3 in all your subjects (mx1, mx2, legal, chem) you go to a school ranked 250. and lets say u get low 80s for everything, will your ranks pull ur mark up? (if the cohort performs really well ie: 10 - 90+)

Your question is ambiguous. State it again?

So if you get high ranks but comparatively low marks - will the ranks push your mark up? Yes, but it all depends on how your cohort does in the HSC.

you get a good internal assessment mark, but a crap external assessment mark.
in the end, your hsc mark is the average of these two
average of good and crap = okay.
so you get an okay hsc mark

both are equally important coz they are both weighted 50%

top 3 in your school should be around 93 for those subjects
and you get in the 80s.

your mark would be around 87

Id say that it is possible, but don't count on it. What if the other top kids in your school decide to slack off as well? then you'll be getting 85 or something for your HSC mark.

so study hard

not neccesarily. the school 50% they can tamper with, lift or lower gauging from your actual HSC exam mark. the mark u get from the actualy hsc exam though, cannot be tampered.

Definitely your external mark.

Your external mark determines what marks correspond to whatever internal rank you have.
