Mark Calculation Scenario Question (2 Viewers)

[ZackXXT]

Anyone have a clear answer.

Given this Scenario:

Assessment Rank 1: Achieves an external exam mark of 80
Assessment Rank 2: Achieves an exam external mark of 94

The gap between the individuals in the assessment is 1.7%

The remainder of the class bombed out and achieved no higher than 65... downwards.

How exposed is Rank 2? What mark would Rank 1 Receive?

Would Rank 2, even though he achieved an exam mark of 94, be pulled into a band 5?

(Does the BOS have systems to account for such disparities?)

 

[SquareHeartsAdrita]

they would both achieve ~87

 

[ZackXXT]

they would both achieve ~87

Are you sure you are not simplifying this? The gap was 1.7%... Surely, they do not merely find an average... disregarding all the circumstances which may surround it. For instance, if the gap with 0.4%....

understanding the process will not get you a higher mark. 1.7% is pretty much negligable

assessment/exam mark for rank 1: 94/80 = final mark of ~87
assessment/exam mark for rank 2: 80/94 = final mark of ~87

Slightly depressing....

yes say gg then because the HSC is everything

It's a complicated process. Better to strive for that 1st rank

 

[IR]

Better to strive for what you can.

Tbh, I will get the ATAR for my course (93) anyhow, but the idea that my mark will not be an accurate representation of my performance in the subject does hurt.

then no worries. No-one really talks about HSC/marks much at uni anyways

Given your calculation.... would the same be applied.... (this would be exceptional) if:

1st Assessment Rank: External: 65
2nd Assessment Rank: External 94

Would 2nd have a 79.5

(Where the gap in internals is a mere 1.6%)

Does not seem very logical.... (better yet, fair)

 

[deboiz]

The internal marks aren't determined solely by your ranks, they take into account the differences in the marks.

Rank 1 would receive 80/94, no doubt about that
Rank 2 would receive his external mark of 94, and since he was only 1.7% off in internals he will receive about 91 for his moderated internal
