"The Board moderates your School Assessment Mark for a subject using the Examination Marks obtained by the students who sat the exam for that subject at your school. That is, your HSC Physics mark is moderated based on the results of Physics students at your school."
Doesn't that look like cohort's total exam marks rather than your own exam mark?

Is there a necessity to clearly say that it's dependent on the cohort? The fact is that I dumbed it down to not include any specifics. Everything was in the link so why should I?
Of course I knew that it was the cohort's range of marks that mattered. But there's no point in me going on about ranks and relative mark differences right now is there?
If all you were doing is calling me out for not relating to the entire cohort and rather the single student, I'm sorry but you may stop. Because my point was not to be specific about anything here.

Your ranting over yet?
Did not mean to call you out, I did say just "to be more unambiguous". Dumbing down cohort's marks to one's exam mark can be confusing to many, an example is like this post
Re: Questions regarding rankings
That was all.

I edited the relevant post.
Whilst this is definitely true, I simply felt no need to repeat what was already mentioned word for word. If ambiguity was caused, I would've preferred being asked by the confused or anyone about it, rather than being told about it from losing patience with questions that were already answered in prior posts.
To which I apologise for my dramatic nature there. Your comment was not made on a basis where it felt like a correction, rather just adding on information whilst I was holding my ground in amply already answered questions.
jamie anderson :
Hello, for moderation/ranking/scaling whatever its called, if im ranked 3rd in a subject and get the highest external mark ( out of my cohort ) in an exam can i still get the highest mark overall in my school cohort? or do i automatically get the 3rd highest mark and have it moderated with my internal ?
thanks

Hey Jamie! First, understand that your exam mark is yours, your cohort/rank has no effect on that ;D
Your Moderated Assessment Mark, however, is what gets changed. Getting the 3rd highest mark is a good way to approximate it, so yes, while your exam mark will stay the same, your assessment mark will be moderated to something similar to the 3rd highest exam mark. These are then averaged at the end ;D
Edit: Note this is a rough way of explaining it. In reality the moderation process takes the School Marks themselves and shifts them up or down based on the exam average, keeping relative distance. That said, you will roughly get the 3rd highest exam mark as your internal mark.
