Hey im just wondering, since i have pretty ok rankings for everything besides physics, is it possible to actually get a higher score then someone ranked above you? Im not really sure how it works. Im 10/16 for physics, but thats mainly because of pracs which i suck at, so in the exam i expect to get around a top 5 mark. I got 4th in trials quite comfortably. So im basically asking, if i get a good mark and beat most of my class quite easily, will i get a score that reflects it? Thanks for helpin a noobie.

It is possible to get a higher final mark than people ranked ahead of you internally, provided that you beat them externally (obviously). By the way, what subjects do you do besides physics?

It'll reflect in your external (and you have the advantage in performing better in the theory)
