Hey guys I'm super confused as to how the English Extension 2 mark is calculated. Is it 50% internals and 50% major work? Thanks guys

The HSC mark is a 50:50 combination of a student’s examination mark and school-based assessment mark for each course.

As you can see, English Extension 2 is not an exception.

The Year 12 formal school-based assessment program is to reflect the following requirements:

• assessment will be based on the process of composing the Major Work
• three assessment tasks:
  • a Viva Voce with a weighting of 30%
  • a Literature Review with a weighting of 40%
  • a Critique of the Creative Process with a weighting of 30%
• the Major Work Journal must be submitted for monitoring with each assessment task

The examination will consist of a Major Work worth 40 marks and a Reflection Statement worth 10 marks.

Therefore, the three assessment tasks making up the school-based assessment program are worth 50% of your final HSC mark, and the Major Work is worth the other 50% of your final HSC mark.


I hope this helps!

Note that the school mark is moderated with regards to the cohort's external performance as per the HSC usual. So the whole rank swappy thing applies as well.
