Do people still have a chance? (1 Viewer)

If for example your internal marks are around mid 70s to mid 80s percentage. What the good chances of getting a high ATAR if you do well in the HSC exam?

Very good. Depends on rank, how well you go in the externals and your courses.

 

[aphorae]

depends on school rank as well

and depends on what you classify as a 'high ATAR'

 

[Skyzor]

Anything is possible...

 

[snorelacks]

Say if you want to achieve an ATAR of 90. School rank is around the 100's

lol depends on the schools task... you might not be worse off then someone who has an internal rank of 40 cause theyre exams were so hard. you cant really tell what your atar will be like from just internal ranks unless you know what people from your school got in internals and how that translated into the final exams.

Its all about your ranks, dont worry too much about your raw internal marks as they are moderated significantly by the BOS. Like I've said to many people who have asked this question before, I remember in SOR I had a raw internal mark of 68% which moderated up to 88% for my final internal mark.

Don't even look at your internal marks and try to figure out your ATAR with them because they get moderated. Trying to do so is like trying to decipher a code without the key.

So why does your internal marks get moderated? And how do they do it?

Internal marks get moderated because the difficulty of internal exams varies from school to school. The actual process of moderation is highly complicated and I myself dont fully understand how exactly it works. This is how the BOS explains it http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html
