    standard deviation

    The distribution of raw assessment marks for your class is shaped so that their average is the same as the average of the examination marks for your class. See this thread.

    He doesn't even have to come first in the externals... an assessment rank of first means complete immunity. :)

    Raw band cut-offs. (Updated: 15/09/04)

    What they should have said was that your moderated assessment mark is set equal to (for example) the fifth examination mark. But it's not exactly equal anyway - the two marks should be similar, if the distributions are similar. Your exam mark will always be your exam mark. This doesn't...

    Dinstinction Courses

    Check out this thread from last year: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=19110 It's definitely worthwhile doing one. :) Great experience. (If you finish 3u maths this year, you'll only have 10 units for Y12... right?)

    English: Avanced or Standard

    Not true. If you read the rest of the report, you will find out that they are scaled as a single course. The statistics for the courses are separated in the report. It just so happens that Standard is generally taken by weaker students who tend to score lower scaled marks, and Advanced is...

    Raw band cut-offs. (Updated: 15/09/04)

    Superbird's statement was correct, but ONLY with regard to 2003. Raw band cut-offs are not fixed. They will vary each year according to the difficulty of the examination paper.

    Marks between first and second

    If you think it's going to be such a problem - go complain to someone who can do something about it.

    Using SAM to calculate your UAI

    If you can obtain marks from past years, that's not a bad method. :) Your teachers would also know whether your year is, on average, better or worse than the previous year.

    legal studies: does it scale you down?

    No... that's moderating. :) (See <a href="/other/flowchart.pdf">this flowchart</a>.)

    Law Question [torts]

    This is <a href="/james/Torts%20-%20Midsession%20Assignment.pdf">one of my torts assignments from last year</a>... it doesn't cover the same points (except for nervous shock/mental harm), but it should at least give you some idea as to how to write an answer to a problem question.

    It would be quite rare for the top two exam marks to be so far apart when an experienced teacher has assessed the top two students to be of the same ability. The situation you describe is possible - but in practice, it doesn't often arise.
