HSC Distinguished Achievers question (1 Viewer)

[cloud edwards]

Two questions:

1) How does one get into the HSC Distinguished Achievers list. I've heard that one must get at least an 90 in their HSC. But i don't know whether that is 90 in your raw HSC exam, or 90 overall (i.e. HSC internals and external).

2)Also, is it true that your external's and internal's average is your hsc mark?

E.g my current chemistry assessment overall marks for the year is 85, so does that mean i need a raw chem hsc exam mark of 95 to make my HSC mark a 90.

Sorry if I got the terminology wrong, i'm new to this topic.

Thanx =)

1. You need Band 6 or E4 (90 HSC reported mark) in at least 10 units.

2. Yes.

Your internal mark doesn't matter just your rank and the relative gap because it's moderated by NESA

Dw my Chem raw internal mark was probably around 83/100 for a rank 11 at my school and I ended up with a 97 final HSC mark. So they definitely do some aligning of school's assessment marks to account for schools with 'harder' assessments vs schools with easier assessments

What was your internal + external for that at a top selective school?

1. You need Band 6 or E4 (90 HSC reported mark) in at least 10 units.

To be a distinguished achiever, you only need to achieve a band 6 in one subject.
To be an all-rounder you need at least 10 band 6 units.

Yep, not only does it align it for difficulty of assessments, but moreso for the quality of the cohort - it's very possible that someone ranked 100/180 in James Ruse for Physics is performing better than someone ranked 5/200 in Joe Bloggs Comprehensive High School
