Are the marks we got today moderated?
« on: December 14, 2017, 11:18:45 am »
just wondering the results we got today, are they weighted? why are people complaining about getting 89 (band 5) when wouldn't it scale to band 6?

All adjustments have already been implemented (moderation and alignment).

Potentially. This usually is the case for at least 90% of the state though

thanks so much, this is disappointing. do you also know why my examination and assessment mark are exactly the same for all my subjects except English?

If you came 1st in the internals then that's basically the culprit. (Because if you come first in the internals, your assessment mark is automatically the #1 examination mark for your cohort as well.)

Else, pure coincidence
