Minimum mark to state rank in English Extension I? (1 Viewer)

[EarthSci34]

Hello Bored of Studies

I'm just interested to know what marks are required to state rank in EX1? Because I saw one of the posts here from BoS graduating in 2014 with 49/50 for English Extension I without a state rank? As well as someone having 50/50 but only being 3rd in state? I'm confused how they decide who gets the first and the state ranks?


Thank you so much

Internals can bring the persons mark down.

Oh wow, so they even look at someone's internals when they decide state rank? I'm still a bit confused why someone who got 50/50 did end up first in state despite garnering full marks? O__O

Yeah if you aren't ranked first you can lose state ranking.

Plus english is quite subjective so there is that element too.

50/50 for Ext 1 and they will compare ext 2 marks if tied.

This is definitely not true. If two students both received 50.0/50.0 in English Extension 1 and thus exactly the same assessment and examination marks to the exact decimal place, BOSTES would look at the English (Advanced) marks, not English Extension 2 marks. This is the same for any Extension course, EXCEPT Mathematics. If you do History Extension, they differentiate equal candidates using Modern History and/or Ancient History to determine ranks.
