How the fuck are final HSC marks calculated?

[tvskAXatar]

From what I understand:

Exams are marked and given a raw score, raw scores are then scaled to reflect the overall sense of difficulty in the subject and the exam. A person then gets their scaled mark + their rank’s scaled mark and those two values are averaged, and this mark is finally adjusted to cohort strength/weaknesses before becoming a final HSC mark out of 100?

exams marked and given raw score, THEN theyre aligned by NESA, alignment reflects the difficulty of questions in the exam. then uac scales them for ur atar. the marks you get for each subject will be ur aligned marks, they dont give you raw marks unless u pay

Thanks for that - Sorry but I still am a bit confused as there isn't anything that mentions ranks. If you have the time could you please tell me what happens with an example?

Eg: I get an 80 raw in the English Advanced HSC exam and ranked 17/69 internally - what happens now in terms of both HSC and ATAR.

exactly same I'm confused, will by 42 assessment mark mean ill get like a 50 instead of the 30/35th hsc mark which possibly is 70 for english advanced

your assessment mark (the internal 50%) will be the 17th highest hsc exam mark of your class (even if you didn't receive that mark), but whatever mark you received in the external exam will be yours for the exam mark part (external 50%). so your overall hsc mark is an average of these two aligned marks

that's what everyone thinks but trebla provided an infographic which contradicts that

just had a look at it, it doesn't seem contradictory?

he's saying that our assessments mark are moderated which means they adjust your raw assessment mark based on a formula, instead of simply just giving you the mark of that place. This is worse.

 

[legallynotblonde]

ahhhh i see, thanks. i guess the formula would then involve the three 'anchor points' nesa describes here

This is worse because what if the entire cohort got a lower score in the external? It means my 85 internal could turn into an 80

 

[justletmespeak123]

this is fucking shit omg, the taking the exam mark of the assessment rank is most fairest way

 

[justletmespeak123]

so if ur first, u dont have to deal with this retarded bull shit.

 

[justletmespeak123]

its fucking stupid because an 80 in a trial wont be aligned to a 90 unlike the actual exam

theres 10 days just wait
