So internals consists of all your assessment marks up until the HSC external exams. So, could a school instead base your whole internal mark just on the trials and all the other assessments done throughout the year become irrelevant?

It's just a thought, and I'm curious as to see whether this has been done in the past or not.

Pretty sure the max weighting on a single task is 35%.

At my school the maximum is 40%. But 100% is quite ridiculous.

it is illegal for a school to disregard task sat.
in my class we had a few under-perfoming mx2 students who were asked to drop... they hadn't sat any 2unit tasks as they were confident they weren't going to drop.
because they did not sit any tasks, there were was no way for the teacher to get marks for them... so their task 3 was worth 20% just like every1, and their trial is worth 80%.
hope that helps:0
