Hey i go to a top 50 school and I've been under performing in subjects due to both health and family reasons As a result i've been getting low rankings e.g. 70. But i have always been a straight A student including year 11. Is it possible for example i get 85-90 in the final exam will it make my internal rankings not matter at all?

Hey what im trying to say is how much of a harm will it be say i get a 20 point differential between external and internal, assuming im low ranked. e.g. rank say 80/100 but i get rank 10/100 in the external (and i know it might not sound possible but i dont intend to redo the HSC despite all the struggles that ive occured due to family and health issues) Like is it possible for the BOS to completely disregard my internals?

no, both ur internal and external marks contribute to ur final mark. e.g. if u got like 70 in internals and 95 in externals then ur final mark could be 80-85.

Nope, your internal marks do contribute, as far as I'm aware. :(
