small class sizes (1 Viewer)

[Brontecat]

a teacher at my school has said that if the class size is 5 or less your internal marks have no bearing on your hsc even though the school has to submit an internal mark to the BOS

is this true? and if so what does it mean?

I highly doubt that's true... what she might have meant is because there's far less competitiveness in small classes as opposed to large (simply due to lesser numbers) is that there will be less of an impact on your internal mark in regards to rankings, so it won't really matter whether you're 1 or 5.

I'm just spitballing here, though.

she's probably just saying something like, 'it's easier to get a higher rank in a smaller class'?

if you're all of equal ability, then it won't really matter what rank you are.
