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 :)

Than that is extremely disheartening... At least I am working consistently after trials despite the shitty feelings of bombing internals very very badly because of panic attacks etc...

So in that situation, your marks would both be the same - The average of your HSC exam marks. Because your internal mark would moderate to the highest exam mark (theirs), and their internal mark would moderate to the lowest exam mark (yours). Provided you are happy with your performance in the HSC, this shouldn't worry you at all! :)
--- Quote ---Follow up question. Do state ranks consider the internal assessment Mark, or are they only based on the performance in the actual HSC exam?

HSC marks, so moderated internals as well! If there is a tie, there are other procedures:
Other Procedures (Taken From NESA Website)If students are equal on the highest HSC marks in a course, then the following process is used to determine the recipient(s):
1. take an average of each student's exam mark and assessment mark after alignment to performance bands, each to one decimal place
2. take an average of each student's exam mark and assessment mark before alignment to performance bands, each to two decimal places
3. if an extension course, use the marks awarded for other courses in the subject area.
--- Quote ---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
--- End quote ---
The assessment mark becomes the exam mark no matter what. So if the HSC marks are lower than the internal marks, you still get the HSC marks sliding in instead. This is to discourage schools giving higher internal marks to advantage their students - The system bases it all off the exam itself :)

What happens if
Internal :
B= 95
A = 94.3
External: situation 1
A = 95
B = 85
External Situation 2
A = 95
B = 93

Hi! So...
--- Quote ---External: situation 1
A = 95
B = 85
--- End quote ---
A: Internal = 85, External = 95, HSC Mark = 90
B: Internal = 95, External = 85, HSC Mark = 90
--- Quote ---External Situation 2
A = 95
B = 93
--- End quote ---
A: Internal = 93, External = 95, HSC Mark = 94
B: Internal = 95, External = 93, HSC Mark = 94

Thank you so much!
I am person A. I was far ahead in English and just got the worst trial marl ever for my discovery essay as my head teacher didnt like me doing a kids movie for my related text 😬. So im worried about how bieng 2nd will effect the moderation process, even if its only by 0.7
