How would this hypothetical work (1 Viewer)

[sy37]

Class of two people, with students Bam and Ham.

Bam is ranked first, with a final mark of 95%

Ham is ranked second, with a final mark of 94.9%

In the hsc exams, the following scores happen:

Bam acquires an external mark of 81

Ham acquires an external mark of 93

How would a mere 0.1% difference account for a tragic 12% external difference in this situation? Just curious...

What outcry have you uttered about my person, you oafish brute? I shall cordially remind you that I was the best scholar in my law class in Oxford, and I have been involved in several frivolous tea parties and courtroom disputes, and I have over 300 boxes of Earl Gray. I am proficient in the Simian school of diplomacy and I am the top linguist in my book club. Know that you resemble nothing in my eyes save for yet another uncultured mind. I will hasten your undisputed expiritation of the world with grace and finesse. The thought that you can retreat after jesting of such matters over the internet is laughable. As of this moment, I am telephoning a mutual friend to negotiate a swift and sure rebuttal to your argument so I would implore you to prepare yourself for the upcoming verbal deluge. The deluge that will no doubt saturate your life with discomfort. You are well and truly wrong, my good sir. My abilities of travel are unmatched, and I can recite over 700 lines from Shakespeare, and that is just from Hamlet. The amount of knowledge that I have acrued is vast, and I shall use it to firmly state my authority on such matters, you rapscallion. Truly, I wished you had some semblance of knowledge on the matter you have brought up and it's repercussions. Alas, you did not, and now you will suffer a fate most dire, you plebian. I shall defecate concentrated dislike upon you and you shall struggle to survive in it's waters. Pistols at dawn, old boy.

Not really sure what this last sentence means, are you asking why Bam does poorly externally? Bam would receive 93 assessment mark giving him 87 HSC mark. Ham will probably receive an assessment mark of 92 giving him an HSC mark of 93.

This is what could happen - That 0.1% is not important because schools submit whole marks to BOSTES, meaning they will both be ranked 1. Their moderated assessment mark will therefore be the average of the 2 highest marks, in this case, the only 2 marks, meaning their assessment mark is 87. Bam's HSC mark will therefore be (81+87)/2 = 84, and Ham's HSC mark will therefore be (93+87)/2 = 90.

Or another possible situation is that BOSTES thinks Bam has achieved well below their expectation, thereby removing Bam from the calculation, meaning their final HSC marks will simply be 81 and 93.
