Why Does Your Internal and External School Rank Matter?

It does not influence your UAI at all. It only shows the general ability of your cohort in the state.

Scenario:

1. What would happen if your cohort's average is high?
2. What would happen if your cohort's average is generally low?


Does it affect the modulated results of your school mark?

Cohort average? You mean school rank? Your internal marks do not mean anything.

If your cohort is strong (high ranking), then moderation will be very beneficial.

If i should say the cohort's average is around the 70s and i get about 80/100 for the internal school mark, what would happen with the modulation?

When you say cohort average, do you mean the school rank? Because I feel that you are thinking of your raw average mark.

Yes thats the word "Raw Mark".. So.

Your raw mark, your school's average raw mark do not matter whatsoever. To find out the general ability of your cohort, check your school rankings. And to find out your place in that cohort, use your RANKS, not your marks.

Would you know where i could find the school rankings as in throughout the state for 2007. Because BOS only has the 2006 results.

Could someone confirm this statement for me?

Your marks from your assessments do not matter, it is only your rank within the school.

 

[aussiechick007]

that is true, but i believe they also take into account the relative gaps in marks between each rank

You sure?

 

[veloc1ty]

Check the scaling topics if you're desperate. But at this point (you're either doing or have done trials) there's no point worrying about it, just do your best in the external exams.

Relative gap between you and the 1st ranked will be taken into account IMO.

It doesn't. EDIT: to avoid disambiguation i mean the schools rank doesn't matter, not your internal assessment rank.

Not if you cannot perform as good as them, if you get a low mark in the HSC and about the same distribution in your school assessments, then their marks are not going to pull you up.

You sure?

Yes. All relative distances between marks for internal assessment are taken into consideration in the moderation algorithm.

Indeed. You have to do well in externals.

So does that mean 1st by a large margin is beneficial for the 1st ranked? Or does it mean being NOT 1st by a large margin is disastrous for those not ranked 1st?
