State rank whilst not being 1st ? (2 Viewers)

[bigdawstv]

Can you state rank even if your ranked 2nd internally?

 

[enigma_1]

yeah just make sure you're close to 1st

 

[Erique]

Yep! I came 2nd internally for VA but still SR'd! That being said, I was about 3/4 marks below 1st.

 

[bigdawstv]

lol really?

What was your school rank? and how much did your internals get moderated by ?

Janek Drevikovsky did no maths too.

Yes you can, definitely. I know someone who was ranked 7th internally and ended up state ranking.

i know a dude who came 3rd in a school ranked 300, sr phys

Say I'm ranked 5th internally, whats the raw mark I need to have to state rank physics

 

[Earth1]

Yep, def can. I know a dude ranked tied first from a school ranked in the late 500's who topped the state.

Depends on the cohort, between 90-95.

Lol the dude was ranked 1st.

 

[Earth1]

Tied first. And i was just trying to suggest that there is no definitive ranking (ofc near top) to top state.

So even if school rank is shit, and I get 97 raw could I sr in a subject?

If you're first and 97 raw except for maths and ext english, high chances yes.

What if 2nd internally and bad ranked school :O?, the guy coming 1st is too hard to beat!

It makes it harder because Hsc is 50/50 - it's an average of your internal assessment mark and your external examination mark. However, your internal assessment mark is determined by the pool of external marks that your cohort attains (not the actual marks you attained in school).

Sounds familiar

Which goes to show it is not rank that is important - it is relative marks. He was probably one or at most two marks below first rank.

The scenario was actually different to what I think you are imagining. We had two people rank equal first internally, so they received for their moderated school assessment mark the average of the two highest examination marks (99 and 97) - i.e. 98. I was ranked 7th internally and was given 94 (four marks less than the moderated school assessment rank for rank one) as my moderated school assessment mark, and it was my examination mark of 99, which helped me get SR, which was 97 or above that year. So tbh my moderated school assessment mark gave me very little chance of SRing - it needed a very strong performance in the HSC final examination to make up for it.
