eg - school i was at a shitload of peopel got around the 40-50% mark for chem trials and the average was shocking as was the top marks but then they get something like 5/8 top places in the state or something? same wit business studies - i got 78 in the trial coz it was shit hard and ended up wit 90+ in hsc...
you can't use that to predict everything coz u have no idea how other schools go... its rankings not just marks that matter....
Ruse trial and all other assessment marks are scaled according to trends from previous cohorts. Sure it might change a bit here and there, but basically what you get on your report reflects what you get in your HSC - often the difference is within on a few marks. They take a lot of effort to make it as good a prediction as possible. So in this case, Ruse trial marks are probably a good indication of final performance. I mean nothing's cert, but its as close as you're gonna get without knowing final results...
