A question about HSC marks? (1 Viewer)

[leesh95]

Is it true that if you are not ranked 1st in your school for a subject but get the highest HSC exam mark for that subject; the person who was first gets half your exam mark?

Can someone explain this to me and also how is this fair towards the person who got the first exam mark?

whatever mark you get in the HSC exam is yours, it makes up 50% of your mark.
the other 50% is your assessment mark which is determined based on your rank and your cohort's performance. If you are ranked first you will get the highest assessment mark from your cohort in that subject. if you are ranked 15th you will get the 15th highest assessment mark.
whoever explained how the hsc works to you clearly has no idea :/

Yes, and it is technically fair if you have proper teachers. Note that he said 15th highest ASSESSMENT mark.

Your HSC mark is the average between your exam mark and your assessment mark. If you got 100 in the exam, you get 100 for your exam mark. If you came a close 2nd or third, you might get 97 or 98 in your assessment mark (assuming there was more than 2-3 people in that cohort). In this situation, you would get the average of those marks, being 99.

The assessment mark IS technically fair because it is a reflection of how you went in school.

Not exactly, it depends on the relative gaps between internal rankings

Everything he said was correct - he said 15th highest assessment mark which is perfectly fine but it doesn't explain how they get to those marks which is about relative internal raw marks and distribution of external marks.
