They kinda did seeing as they are making quite a big deal over our comments
No, the fuss is only really over awbeyona propagating complete bullshit, like 'internal marks don't matter'

awbeyona and themanman are king of trolls

AWB is just full of bs and themanman just wants to brag about how messed up his school was
hmm... brag....

Do you reckon that's the right word to use?

"his school is" not "was"

Good luck getting your 99.7

Sorry bro go cry about how crap my school is to someone else. No one here cares..
Umm if you have a decent memory ..

You can see that the last page has been about you talking about the school's retardation, not me.

I assume you dont go to high school anymore hence past tense.. but hey judging by your stupidity you probably still go to high school.

As I understand the issue:

Your final mark is the sum of your internal and external mark.

You external mark is the mark you achieve in the exam.

Your internal mark is the external mark of the person ranked externally the position you are internally. E.g. If you a ranked first internally, your internal mark is whatever the highest external mark was.

Your internal rank is determined by your assessments throughout the session. It is not an arbitrary number selected by your teacher. This is submitted to the Board of Studies before the final exam.

It does not benefit the school to manipulate the internal marks of students. There is no reason why they should do this, and I believe it is unlawful if they are doing it.

Well, they do it.

Anyway

How much of a reduction will one receive if they are only behind 1st by 2 marks (witshstanding the school rank of roughly 200)

If you have any proof that your school is engaging in this behaviour then report it to the Board of Studies. It is a serious issue, and they will treat it as such. If you have neither the proof or the inclination to report it, then please refrain from complaining about it here.

It depends on the external marks. A bigger gap in the external will cause a bigger reduction in the internal.

We do and we are. Btw, I wasn't complaining. Just sharing.

Let's say this occurs...
Rank 1: Internal (98). External (94)
Rank 2: Internal (96). External (97)
Rank 3: Internal (93). External (90)'

And they get lower from there

What would rank 2s internal be changed to (estimating)

94 based purely off those numbers, but there's more to the process when you factor in other schools/aligning/etc.

EDIT: I edited your post by accident. My apologies.

Ahh I thought It would be 95 but yeah there's more to consider
Do they usually uphold assessment gaps?

And that's ok

Yes, you need to work together to try and bring your cohorts external marks up, so that your internal marks will increase. However, it will only benefit you if you fail to get the highest external mark.

What if I get the highest external, will it not benefit me then?
