I thought the assessment mark is based upon which ever rank you are at school.

If you're ranked 2nd in your school, then whoever had the 2nd highest exam mark in the HSC, would become your assessment mark, while your exam mark would remain yours. That person, with the 2nd highest exam mark, would keep it as their exam mark.

Why would the teachers need to send in our assessment marks to be moderated, if, their not important later on in our HSC mark calculation? Weren't our ranks the only thing that was important?

i'll only read part of your post, but i'll answer anyway.
the teacher sends the ranks and the differences in marks between all the students and according to how well the students do in the exam those differences get scaled and as you said, each person gets half of his/her score from what she/he got in the exam and what his/her rank got in the exam.

our marks ARE important not because of what they are, but because of the differences between us. and that helps in altering our exam mark to suit people's ranks and give accuracy in the aggregate we get for that subject.

This thing has some relevance in relation to the above posts...I came last in my Japanese class with 60 and thats what got sent to the BOS, i asked the teacher. It was my raw mark (unmoderated). In the exam I got 70 (probably because I tried harder for it this time around and probably because of scaling put on top of it) and that ended up being my exam, assessment mark and finally, hsc mark. I still got the lowest score in my class, but that's quite a jump.
