Ok so just wondering for our maths trial mark the average for the school was like 40% and its like this for almost all the tests we have done and the put the average up to like 75% scaling up our mark and the person who was coming last got scaled up to just a pass. Do you think our maths department is going to fuck up our internal marks? Since our external mark will be really low compared to our internals?

Im just worried :S :jawdrop:

It shouldn't matter or effect the final HSC mark - since the ranks and marks between them are constant.
Albeit, my brother's agriculture test was scared from 75 to 90. looool :tongue2:

Simple answer - No.

As long as the ranks and relative gaps between the students is maintained it won't matter at all.

Maybe your school just sets super hard tests.
Nah don't think it was hard, maybe we are just retards :)

Wouldn't it drag our moderated assessment mark down if we get below our assessment mark in our externals?

Skirker, judging from this thread and a previous one you made, you clearly don't understand how moderation works, please read about it on the BoS website first like I advised before.

Your moderated assessment marks are not affected by the actual marks that the school sends in because they are moderated using the external marks

e.g.

School A sends in the following set of marks - 98, 95, 90, 88, 85, 80
School b sends in the following set of marks - 68, 65, 60, 58, 55, 50

Now most people would automatically say that School A was stronger than School B but...

The exam marks for both schools are:

97, 94, 89, 84, 83, 70, 76

This shows that in fact both schools are of equal standard and that School A marks somewhat easier while School B is a bit harsh.

So what do the assessment marks end up as for both schools:

97 will be the top assessment mark and 76 the lowest assessment mark with the other marks adjusted to reflect the internal ranks and relative gaps.

So no your internal marks won't be affected at all by whatever marks your school sends in so long as the ranks and relative gaps are maintained as these marks are moderated using the external mark as the benchmark.

Dw lol, our schools avg for maths in the trial is like 50 to 60% yet our maths is in the top 5 consistently in the HSC so the short answer is no. It will depend how ur grade goes externally though. Sry for my bad grammar , spelling errors. Having a fractured hand is gay/

What if school B still gets a lower mark in the externals? Wouldn't that pull your moderated assesment mark down?

As School B already has lower school assessments it would indicate that they were actually weaker and so the moderated assessment mark would actually reflect your ability.
