suggest what I should improve? was aiming for 99.7 but looking hard now D:

note I do 14u, so when you estimate, just choose top 10 :)... and tell me what my 10 best units are maybe? :confused2:

these are my total marks (out of however much % we've completed of the course... e.g. we've completed 70% of eng adv, therefore out of 70), estimated highest total mark + estimated ranks

English Adv: mark 62/70 (top ~67), rank ~15-20/220 lol bombed speech
English Ext: mark 33.8/35 (top ~34-35), rank ~8/70
English Ext 2: mark 43.5/50 (top 50 :spzz:), rank ~7/25
Mathematics: mark 57/60 (top ~59), rank ~8/95 :/
Mathematics Ext: mark ~29.7/30, rank 1/70 :awesome:
Economics: mark 49/60 (top ~56.5), rank ~10/25 :mad3:
Geography: mark 41.25/45 (top ~44), rank ~7/45 :mad3:
Latin: mark 45/60 (top ~55), rank ~5/6 *super strong cohort :)
Latin Ext: mark 24.5/30 (top ~28), rank ~5/6 *super strong cohort :)

School rank: 18~20
School stats: 2010, cohort ~230, top 10% got 99+, 7 people 99.5+ ... reckon our cohort is a little better

Question
Also just wondering, for some of the subjects with a smaller cohort, if my internal mark is crap but external mark is a lot higher (cos some of the assmts have been HARD), will my internal mark get pulled up a lot or is it still like 'relative' to the top mark?

e.g. Even though I'm rank 6 in Latin with mark 44.5/60 (a few super pro ppl in our class, potentially state ranks :/) if we all get 96-100 (scaled) in the externals, will my internal mark get pulled up to that range? Because at this rate my raw int mark will be like 83 -_- (I'd say the distribution right now of top 4 internal raw would be ~94, 91, 89, 86) idgi because my teacher said to me she wasn't worried, I'd get like 95+ for HSC, but my int mark is so shit so wtf?

Everyone keeps their own external HSC examination mark.
Your internal mark is moderated according to the performance of your cohort and your ranking within your cohort. So even if you say, finish last (6th) in Latin but your entire cohort obtained 96-100 in the externals with 96 being the lowest mark in the external - you would receive 96 as your internal along with your own external. Basically the average HSC examination mark becomes the average internal mark - so you will surely be moderated =), its all about ranks.

I'd say 99.50+ easy, and for the external marks you'll keep them according to your ranks, if everyone does very well that'll become your internal mark too

And high rank schools may have bad internal marks for something, but it's due to their exams, like your 83 mark, so in the actual HSC it could translate to a very high mark depending on how everyone does, dont worry, just keep working hard.

Also I would give that a 99.70 lol
