Assessment marks change.

But Person A had 98 sent in as their assessment mark which came down to 96 as that was the highest exam mark. Person F had an original assessment mark of 49 that was lowered to 40 as that was the lowest exam mark. Thus the assessment marks most certainly did change.

Person A - school submitted mark = 98; HSC exam mark 94; moderated assessment mark 96 - Final HSC of 95.
Person F - school submitted mark 49; HSC exam mark 60; moderated assessment mark 40 - Final HSC 50.

The exam marks of the cohort were the ones that determined the final assessment marks for these students and the rest of the cohort.

e.g. in a certain subject.
let just assumes that school A has a cohort as smart as school B, yet school A's assessment tasks are much easier than school B's.

school A - school assessment mark / external mark
highest mark - 98 / 88
lowest mark - 78 / 67

school B - school assessment mark / external mark
highest mark - 77 / 88
lowest mark - 67 / 67

so according to you. their final mark would be:-
school A - moderated assessment mark (internal)
highest mark - 98 + 88 / 2 = 93
lowest mark - 78 + 67 / 2 = 72.5

school B - moderated assessment mark (internal)
highest mark - 77 + 88 / 2 = 82.5
lowest mark - 67 + 67 / 2 = 67

although their cohorts are pretty much the same, school A still has the higher internal marks, even though their assessment tasks were much easier (?)

No

The school's mark isn't the one that is used in the final washup but the exam marks are used for both the exam and the moderation of the assessment marks.

School A's highest Assessment Mark sent in is 98 but the highest exam mark is 88 so the moderated assessment mark becomes 88 and thus the final HSC mark for that student would be 88. Their own exam mark of 88 and a moderated assessment mark of 88.

School A's lowest assessment mark sent is is 78 but the lowest exam mark was 67 so the moderated assessment mark drops to 67 and thus the final HSC mark for that student would be 67. This is the same as above - assuming that the student who was sent in with the lowest assessment mark also was the one with the lowest exam mark.

For School B they would end up also with 88 and 67 because the highest mark would moderate up to 88 and the lowest would moderate to 67.

The marks that the school sends in is a guide to the BOS of the relative difference between the students but the marks themselves are immaterial - as your example shows. Despite the difference in the difficulty of the respective assessment tasks given by the schools, reflected in the different submitted marks, due to the BOS's moderation process the school's end up with the same marks. The whole idea of the moderation process is to deal with exactly the scenario you have given - to ensure that students at different schools, with different tasks, can get fair marks.

The marks I have given as the final HSC marks is also dependent on the same student who went in first getting the top exam mark.

1. Shut up.
2. Learn English.
3. Go to the Board of Studies website.
4. Read the moderating pages.
5. Come back here and tell us that you didn't understand due to your misunderstanding of the English language.
6. ???
7. PROFIT!!!
