heys, how do schools calculate your assessment marks for a subject out of 100 for the whole HSC year? thanks

 

[vizman]

each assessment task has a weighting e.g 20% so for a particular mark they'll have a weighted mark say out of 20 if its worth 20% etc.

yep every assessment has a weighting, and all the assessments you do throughout the year add up to 100%.
then for every piece of assessment you hand in, you get a mark and the tacher then converts the mark to the weighed mark.
like for example say you got 80% in the trial hsc exam which was worth 40%, then that mark for the piece of assessment is 0.8* 40= 32, and they do that for every assessment, which is how they calculate your marks out of 100 for the whole year.

shit, so I've been getting 60% in my past maths exam (ranked 40/120)... this is heaps scary, that means I could only get around 60-70/100 for my internal assessments T_T

The mark itself doesnt have much significance. The original raw assessment mark your school sends in and get moderated (changed) according to how your school scores in the hsc.(simply)

In more detail if your interested, say you rank first with a raw assessment mark of 60, say someone else scores 95 in your grade, your moderated internal assessment mark will be 95. Although if your ranked in the middle, it gets complicated, with BOS using your grade's mean, and a correlation of how your cohort performed in the actual hsc exam and the ranks that were sent in originally to give you your moderated assessment mark.

It is your rank, and the gap between ranking that matters.

so is it the "push me up pal" approach ?

Well think about it, if your ranked in the middle somewhere in a highly ranked school, you can "ride the scaling wagon," (should be called moderating wagon). If everyone owns the actual hsc exam your internal mark would be high. Conversly, your ranked middle in an average school and they do average in the hsc exam, your moderated assessment mark would be at state average, which is in the 70's for most subjects giving you a UAI of around 67. Either way, you want your school to do really well in the hsc exam even if your ranked first, to yes "push up" your internal marks.
