I have a question

just basing this as an example

if some one were to get
say:


For internal assesments

say:

Eco-77%
General Maths-69%
English Advanced-73%
Business Studies-72%
IPT-93%

and for there HSC exams

got

Eco-87%
Maths-89%
English-83%
Business-93%
IPT-91%


say this person was ranked in the top 3 of his class in each subject

what would happen to his internal mark would it increase drastically.......... decrease....... or stay relitivley the same????

 

[Lazarus]

Depends entirely upon the average exam mark and top exam mark for each of their classes.

 

[Spike]

okay

ummm well ill addd in an extra section then lol

Say:

IPT- The person came first and the average exam mark is umm 42%

Eco- Person came secound average exam mark is about 60%

English Advanced- Person 4th Average mark is say 71%

Business person came 3rd average mark about 39%

maths person came 2nd average mark is 41%


OPS forgot top exam mark

just say all the top exam marks were only about 2 or 3 marks away from this persons results

 

[Spike]

by the way sorry if iam being padantic

iam just very curious

 

[Lazarus]

OK... to begin with, most of those averages are very unlikely... three of them fall in the band 1 range, which usually only constitutes around 5% of the state. Unless you were referring to raw marks? Anyway.

If the top exam mark is within 2 or 3 marks of his exam mark, and he's ranked in the top 3 for all his courses, chances are his moderated assessment marks will turn out to be within a few marks of his aligned exam marks for each course.

 

[Spike]

laz those are very comparable to my schools class averages honest.....

they could even be worse...

thanks alot for answering the question though

 

[Lazarus]

School exam averages are often much lower than final HSC exam averages.

 

[Minai]

is that due to scaling and everything else?

 

[Lazarus]

Due to alignment, yes. Schools are still using the full 0 - 100 range for assessment marks, yet the alignment process squishes ~95% of those marks into the 50 - 100 range, which obviously results in a higher average for aligned exam marks.
