A little question about rankings (1 Viewer)

[illin]

The situation is as follows

In the french (continuers), there are currently 3 people doin it. After the first assessment i am last (3rd) with 37/40
Next assessment one of the studients did not turn up, meaning that he will prob drop the subject. Anyway i will come last (2nd) if this happens but with a very good internal mark though (raw).

Am i screwed? Does it depend on the exam mark?

Another question

Is it poossible to achieve a band 6 in a subject after getting 75% in an assessment worth 15% of internal?? (scaling can be either good or bad)

Cheers

The answers to both of your queries depend entirely on the examination marks attained by your class.

The answers to both of your queries depend entirely on the examination marks attained by your class.

Just to elaborate, since there are only two of you at your centre (school), it doesn't matter what your raw assessment marks are; just your rankings are important.

In your Record of Achievement, you receive three marks: the Examination Mark which represents the mark you achieved in the HSC Exam; the Assessment Mark which represents the mark that a person of your rank achieved in the HSC Exam; and the HSC Mark which is the arithmetic mean of the two.

To determine your Assessment mark, the Board uses a process called 'moderating'. There is a very good post in the pinned thread "Moderating"; I suggest you have a look at it.

Love,
