How does Scaling etc work when you're the only one doing the course? (1 Viewer)

As per the title.

I'm the only person that done History Extension at my school this year so how are they going to work everything out? Take the average of the two marks? Make my internal equal to my external?

The exam's tomorrow but this thought only just really occurred to me now. Doesn't really bother me when I get a response

Thanks in advance.

Everything is based on your exam mark. What ever your (aligned) exam mark is, it will be your final HSC mark.

So essentially what you're telling me is that I could have done no work this year and simply smashed the exam?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yes, but you would have had to do the work just to meet the course requirements.

Well having done the exam I feel pretty confident now. Thanks guys!

That does seem like a bit of a flaw in the marking system, but meh. Don't care now!

Yeah, I agree. Looking at your marks, if we were to go by the exam only, I would have beaten you, but because my rank wasn't reflective of my HSC exam mark, you have beaten my mark.
