Rumour... maybe? (1 Viewer)

[Uniqueness]

I heard that if you score consistently well at school but completely flunk out during your HSC exams your marks doesn't get taken, but you get the marks that's highest instead. The person that actually got that mark moves one down and etc...

Is this true, or just another one of those rumors again?

SO... you do well internally, but bad externally, yes, you get a good internal mark, but you keep your shit external mark, so overall your mark will be averaged out and then you'll get an average shit mark.

so... in other words.. you're screwed.

Pretty much (Unless you go to some top school like Jame Ruse)

 

[iRuler]

Well if you screw up the external hsc exams, then yes, you are screwed.

Your ranks stay the same for internal marks. You don't get the internal marks but the gap between each stays the same. Your internal marks are dependent on your external marks.

Ok... about another rumor thing. They say that if you're in a crap school (low ranking or whatever) and your rank within that school is anything below 2nd, then it doesn't really help with your ATAR

It depends on the gaps between the marks. I would consider a school of rank 600+ low ranking.

The mark between your HSC result and other schools or marks from your school in general?

Yes dumb people in dumb school can drag your marks down. That is indeed true.

Definitely heard of that one.. but didn't they say that if you're first or something then you're ok? Like it won't drag you down as much as oppose to second or something. (yea I know, I"m full of rumors)

No. The gap in marks in your school.

 

[Alkanes]

Yes pretty much if you're top ranked for everything nothing can affect you in in terms of people dragging your mark down. You're in the highest position of power.

No. The gap in marks in your school.

so.. if you have a huge gap in your school then you get scaled up?

No. The gaps in the mark stay the same. This is aligning. Scaling is something else. Scaling differs for each subject.

What is your school rank? http://images.smh.com.au/file/2010/12/15/2097102/HSC Performance 2010.pdf

Okay, what are your current ranks? By letting us know we can tell you what to improve on.

English - 1/14
Maths - 6/29
Math extension - 3/4 (yea completely failed)
Biology - 4/25
Chem - 2/19
Physics - 1/11

 

[Alkanes]

Well look your doing pretty much everything close to top notch except for the maths. I suggest some improvement for maths in terms of rankings especially for 2U, you want to try and stay at the top as close as possible.

Those are great ranks. Try & work on maths + extension a bit more. Aim for the top 3 in maths & top 2 in extension.
You may want to try and improve in bio too but make maths your first preference.
