standardisation of SACs
Collin Li:
No! Your exam score is the anchor that drags around your SAC marks. VCAA obviously trust the official exams more than the SACs.

I think this explanation is quite good. It is in a previous thread on the matter.
--- Quote from: ?HI? on March 12, 2008, 07:52:37 pm ---Exam mark is absolute. If you get 80/100 for the exam, your exam mark stays like that.
SAC rankings within your school is absolute. If you're ranked 3rd, then even after moderation, you'll still have a SAC mark that is 3rd highest within your school.
SAC mark after moderation depends on your school's performance in the exam. If the majority of people score high in the exam (particularly the guy ranked 1st), then your SAC scores will very likely be moderated up. Remember that the moderation process is a way of making each school's SAC marks relative to each other, obviously because not all schools have SACs of the same difficulty.
Final study score depends on the combination of your GA (graded assessments).
Hope this all makes sense.

So your exam mark is yours. Ranking is used to determine what SAC score you will get according to exam preformace of your class overall.

I think 'killing the exam' can create exceptions. I can't find the article now, but I remember reading one about two people from the same school getting a 50 in Physics, even though they usually only ranked in the top five or ten in SACs. I was actually quite shocked that someone could get 50 ranking in the top ten.
