and that stupid mail you got from Bos it has your pin number on the top right hand corner.

Basically, it's just your internal ranks that the school has sent to the BOS.
BOS then puts them on the website in case your school was lame enough not to tell you in some way what rank you achieved in your subjects.
and also they put them on the site in case there has been a mistake. if so you tell the school and they call and...etc.

This is a chance for you to actually check that what you have been told is what the BOS has on record.

If you do poorly in this ranking, is it possible to get a good UAI?

My school skipped the details.

not so sure since my teacher and my friends always say that only your ranking that matter not your marks. but it also depends... like for instance if you're from james ruse... then of course it wouldn't matter much

So what if you ranked last in every subject and you go to a school ranked around 200th and you get an avg of band 4 for externals?

50-60UAI; No shit. Need min of band 5s and good rankings if you're aiming to achieve anything.

The problem with being ranked last is that you recieve the bottom assessment mark
So you might get 70 say but someone else screws up the exam and gets 50 then your internal mark will become 50

If everyone does well then it's still possible to do ok.

So when the results come out

They put the internal marks seperate to external mark

and its the external mark that gets aligned to whatever band?

So from what I read the aligned marks are useless for determining the UAI? Since UAC uses raw marks for UAI?

"Therefore, work as hard as you can both during the school year and in preparation for the external exam itself. In addition, if you think your teacher is giving very hard tasks and marking them harshly in comparison to another school, this will not have an effect on the reported HSC marks, because the process of moderation is used; only the relative rankings and distributions"

How does the BOS know if a school marks exams hard or gives hard taks or something?

Ive only read about moderating, whats aligning marks then?
