Say there are 90 people in each of this guys subjects.
He starts the year really poorly, doing no work etc. Gets ranked 88/90 for example in his first assessment. Then improves a bit for his half-yearly, ranked 80/90 for example.
He's still improving and ranks 60/90 for his 3rd assessment, then ranks 30/90 for his trial. Briefly looking at these ranks I would estimate he would probably he ranked 70/90 overal.
At this point he thinks, hmm, I might not get the uai I want if I don't pick up the slack so he studies incredibly hard between the trial and the HSC exam.
He then aces the HSC exam getting close to the highest mark in the school.
Now, here is the part I don't get and despite being told by numorous people and a few teachers that what they are telling me is true, I still can't believe it.
I have been told that he would not recieve his really got mark in the HSC but would instead recieve the 60th ranked mark (remember at this point I estimated him at 60/90 overal). This can't be true can it? I must have been told by 3 teachers, a few friends and my parents. But this is too stupid to comprehend. Someone please tell me they are all wrong.
