hsc marks?!

i saw this tiktok video explaining on how we need to study for internals and how they are so important because for hsc we take other people mark based on internals. So if my internal ranking is 16th, i take the 16th person's hsc marks?! i think that BS cause even though i come 16th then for hsc...

Thank you that makes me feel better haha. I still do moderately well, I just struggle during the term to stay on top of revision because of work / training / tutoring. How did you do it?

tbh a lot of it is just prioritising time to make sure you’re doing effective study, writing notes or smth like that is pretty much a waste of time

The top student in the cohort academically. In Year 12, it is based on your ATAR. So highest ATAR = dux. In year 11, i believe it's the same. Or it was for my school. They had an external body come in and use the algorithms to estimate ATARs (but wouldn't tell us what they were), and the dux was chosen from that.

aight aighttt def not me but you never know............. so who heres aiming for dux

It's a sub goal. I go to a very small school so there's only 5-7 contenders for the spot. I'd like it for the extra ATAR points tho at USYD

* Some schools decide dux after ATARs are officially released, while others may decide dux before graduation based off cumulative rankings

What happens if a school decides a dux before atars and someone does better than them

unlucky

this is why that system sucks a ton, like if my school had’ve done it that way I would’ve probably not gotten dux

wait guys i have a question, you know after trials, you get your final report. With the grade, rank and your mark. Is the mark you get on your final report with all the assesments combined with semester 1 +2, is that the mark you get when you get yoru results. So that means theres no shock when you open your results because half of them you already saw on your reports?

bump, can someone confirm this as well please?

How exactly does that happen

 

[juststudyinghere]

There's really only 3 of us who are fighting for the top and everyone else doesn't really care.

ROFLLL imagine someone completely randomly becomes dux and none of you guys are it. no offence @AsuTeksu im just being dumb lol coz thats what happened to my friends cohort. i finally get what they meant by 'dux' all the time

also dont mind me scrolling back and reading the old stuff ive been up since 3 and im bored

to put things another way, it wouldn’t make sense for them to decide your marks prior to hsc results because schools would be incentivised to make really easy internal exams so that all their kids got really high marks. this is why moderation exists, to account for the differences in difficulty between internal exams at different schools, and the way it works is that the person ranked first internally gets the highest external hsc exam mark from your cohort in that subject as their moderated school assessment mark, and then the person ranked last internally gets the lowest external hsc exam mark from your cohort in that subject as their moderated school assessment mark. the moderated school assessment marks for everyone else are divided up from the sum of the remaining hsc exam marks, and then adjusted based on the relative differences between the rest of the internal rankings (e.g if someone is close behind first place internally their moderated school assessment mark will also be close behind).

the moderated school assessment mark makes up half of your overall hsc mark for each subject, with the other half coming from your own personal hsc exam mark. if all of this seems confusing then don’t worry about it tbh, just do as well as you can in all of your internal exams and the hsc because they’re all important.
