ATAR/Scaling Questions

Following on from mxrylyn, I'm in a class with only one other student, so how does that impact scaling and marks and stuff? Unrelated note, can't wait to be the only two people sitting in our school hall during the HSC exam lmao

It means (unless there is another process for classes of one I'm not aware of) that your HSC mark will be the same as your aligned mark in the exam. In other words, your HSC exam alone will determine your mark, I believe :)

Two possible scenarios!

- If ranked 1st gets the highest mark in the exam, then both HSC marks will be the same as the aligned exam scores. It will be like the other didn't exist.
- If ranked 2nd gets the highest mark in the exam, then the two students get the same mark, namely the average of the two HSC exam marks!

What these examples should show is that internal marks are meaningless in isolation, it is the ranks that matter ;D

clovvy:
I know this is very unlikely and I have never heard before... but lets say the circumstances look like this
internal marks:
A-86
B-82
C-74
D-70
E-68
F-65
G-60
H-55
I-50
J-48
K-44
L-40
M-39
N-35
O-30
P-25

In this case, person N has suffered from 3 mental disorders and have been hospitalised before which impact assessments remendously, but when the externals come, it looks like this:
A-98
B-96
C-88
D-82
E-78
F-77
G-75
K-72
L-68
M-66
N-93
O-50
P-44

What will happen to person N if he have had disruptions in exams and was granted special provisions during the HSC (I am currently in similar situation as this for physics except I don't know my marks and ranks because I have to get my results through the principal, apparently for my own safety in case I have a meltdown over my marks)....

jamonwindeyer:
Hey! So N's special provisions may affect how their mark is aligned, but it won't change the moderation process. Their aligned mark of 93 in the exam will be averaged with their moderated mark, which is likely to be reasonably close to the bottom of the aligned mark range, but it's impossible to say exactly where that could sit so I'm not going to hazard it :)

Analysing situations like this won't benefit you my friend. You need to abstract from it and focus on the work :)

mxrylyn:
Hey,

What happens if I am ranked 1st in a class of two with a mark of 83 and the other person, who has a mark of 48 beats me in the HSC. With the 50-50 rule, will it change our ranks?

Edit:
Follow up question. Do state ranks consider the internal assessment Mark, or are they only based on the performance in the actual HSC exam?

Edit 2:
Follow up, follow up question.
If "The top assessment mark is immediately changed to equal the top examination mark in the cohort", which one copies which one. What happens if the top assessment Mark is greater than the top examination Mark. Or if the examination Mark is greater than the top assessment Mark. Which one becomes the mark question mark

:)
