But I got a 92 in the EXTERNAL EXAM but I got an assessment mark of 89, yet I am first internally - shouldn't I at least get my own exam mark, if not higher (if someone got a higher mark than me in the exam)?
I am 100% sure I was 1st, and by a big gap. I topped every assessment task and there was a gap of more than 20 marks in the trial exam between me and second place (trial was worth 40%). I go to a public school with a rank >400 but I was always told as long as I was first in a subject, I couldn't...
PLEASE EXPLAIN:
My rank in Advanced English was 1st at my school, with a big gap between me and the next person. My exam mark in the HSC: 92/100 yet my Assessment mark was: 89/100.
How does this happen? I thought being first in a subject meant I couldn't be "dragged down" by my peers? :S
So, just for the record, if you're the equivalent of first on the list for a particular program you would have gotten a conditional offer? But if you got shortlisted then you must be second or more? Correct?
