If you're rank 3/15 then you will get the 3rd mark in the HSC exams as your internal mark
So you're internal mark might only be 70% but if everyone does well in the exam and the top marks are 97, 92, 88 and you scored 85 then your internal mark will be 88 and your exam mark is 85

Thats how they prevents unfairness in schools marking easy/hard

^ Although that is an easy explanation, keep in mind apparently the BOS will take into account relative differences between internal ranks (mark wise) so the 3rd internal mark may not be exactly the same as a 3rd exam mark.

 

[Kiim2507]

Oh really?
I guess that's fair
Wow glad I don't work out the marks for students lol

 

[patty4848]

so in other words, i'm getting the ranks that i have already received on my report? sorta pointless isn't it - or are there some people who haven't received them at all yet?

Yeah there are people that haven't received them yet and also it's to check that your ranks are right.

Anyone else get a letter from BoS today?

 

[wixxy2348]

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?

Then you're screwed.

 

[wixxy2348]

Anyone else get a letter from BoS today?

Yes to the letter.

 

[danz90]

Yeah, I also got a letter...

So if you appeal for a rank.. all they do is recheck the marks entered etc for clerical errors?
They can't actually CHANGE the marks?

 

[erm]

What was the letter about? I don't think i got one yet.

 

[savio23q]

They can't change the marks. The marks are used to determine the ranks so they're gonna assume that the marks are all correct...there's no way of changing them.
I'm pretty that it's just for clerical errors.
For example, if it it had "5/25" but I actually came 3rd, then they'd recheck the marks and see if i was either 3rd or 5th and just change the ranks.

Apparently yes

 

[inter108]

Woo Assessment ranks tomorrow 5 pm.

I shall be waiting.

 

[danz90]

Apparently yes

You mean, they can change marks??

'Cause I know that there will be this one idiot in my school who will undoubtedly put in a last-ditch effort to try and beat me in ranks.. loser.

 

[dwarven]

I doubt you can change marks =\
That'd cause so much confusion and you'd have people trying to scab 1 mark to move up ranks or whatever. It'd be very stupid of them to let you appeal actual MARKS.

Lol these mother uckaaass

 

[GreenLime]

So do we get overall ranks for subjects or just specific assessment ranks?

 

[veloc1ty]

Subjects of course... what on earth would be the point of assessment ranks?

 

[inter108]

Common sense.
