Generally, do people usually get a better mark in their HSC Exam or is their Assessment mark usually higher. I know this can vary from student to student and from school to school, but as a general guide..?

My worry is that If I work consistently and well throughout the year and obtain a great assessment mark, but stuff up part of my HSC Exam due to a particular question or something of the like (stress, run out of time etc etc etc), my HSC mark may be affected due to moderation (as I am coming first in most of my classess, by a fairly high standard deviation, meaning pressure is on me to get the highest exam mark).

i always do better in assignments because i have time to plan and make sure its right. exams cause me to stress out and make stupid mistakes.

thus my assess mark is always higher

But surely your final assessment mark also depends on your external marks... or at least the external marks of your year group.
