HSC moderated assessment (1 Viewer)

[lonelynight99]

The hsc assessment (internal) is scaled based on the cohort performance? The ranking and individual's performance is not relevant?
Anyone have any idea, please share

The ranking of the invididual determine the internal mark you recieve, along with your cohorts performance on the final exams - so they are important. For a more detailed explanation, this is how the real BoS explains it: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html

Oh I read that but I'm still not quite sure, what if only a quarter of the cohort did well in the external exam. And the relative difference between them (quarter cohort) and the rest of the class is like 40% both in the raw school assessment and in the external exam? So do you think the quarter of the cohort will get likely to get affected?

Yes, what they do is they look at the mean/average of the raw internal marks and compare this with the average of the HSC exam marks of the cohort. If the raw internal is lower, they raise it, and vice versa. Generally, all moderated assessment marks are contained within the bounds of the highest/lowest exam marks - the highest exam mark is given to the first ranked student for their moderated assessment mark, and vice versa for the last ranked student.

To determine each student's individual moderated assessment mark, they look at how much they deviate from each other student and raise/lower these marks to proportionally fit between the highest/lowest exam marks. The differences between students' marks are proportionally the same, so they do reflect your school assessment performance. If the average of the newly adjusted marks still differ then the tails might be raised/lowered to accomodate the difference.

So the individual performance at school is very important, the individual performance in the HSC is important to determine the highest/lowest exam marks and the average of the marks. The higher the average, the better the marks can be for determine the moderated assessment marks. Individual rankings are not important, it's the difference in marks that matter.

Not only is it the ranking but is the relative gaps between marks. For e.g. a person coming 5th by 2 mark will be considered differently to a person coming 5th by 10 marks.
