definitely guaranteed state rank, first in course I harder to predict like last year no one got 100 in 3u but all it takes is like 2 people being really cracked and then 100 stops being guaranteed first

I do Ext 1 + Advanced.

Lets say my HSC mark is 80. Let's say my internal mark is 66.

(80+66)/2 = 73

73 is a nice whole number. However since I'm doing 1 unit of extension, I'll get 36.5. Will it get brought up to 37, or brought down to 36?

It will "visually" appear as 37/50 on your report. However, the underlying mark is actually 36.5/50 (i.e. it is treated as lower than someone who actually got 37/50).

Would this also be true for if I got a 83 extenral and a 78 interna. Would my mark be 80.5 instead of 81? Assuming a 2 unit subject

Yes. The exact mark is stored in the database, but in the HSC report it is displayed as a rounded whole number.

But what if you were just of the next band, a 69 for example, would it show as 35 and band e2? Doesn’t make sense

on your results page, after alignment, its rounded to the nearest whole number (or nearest even number ig for 3u kids who don't do 4u). this is purely just for display purposes

however, UAC gets given marks to 4dp, so rounding makes no difference for your atar

in regards to the 80 external, and 66 internal, your mark would be displayed as 37/50 for a 3u kid, however this rounding up is not a benefit when it comes to atar

looks like they changed the filename from

2023_HSC_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_MATRIX-EDUCATION.pdf

to

2023_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_HSC-MATHS-EXTENSION-1-SOLUTIONS.pdf

I fixed the link in post #451

They also seem to have changed 12e

2023_HSC_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_MATRIX-EDUCATION.pdf had

1.png

2023_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_HSC-MATHS-EXTENSION-1-SOLUTIONS.pdf has

2.png
Also in 13b 2023_HSC_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_MATRIX-EDUCATION.pdf had
3.png
and 2023_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_HSC-MATHS-EXTENSION-1-SOLUTIONS.pdf has
4.png
So 2023_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_HSC-MATHS-EXTENSION-1-SOLUTIONS.pdf is the better version.

Also if you have both versions it might be better to rename this one

2023_HSC_MATHS_EXT1_HSC_Solutions_MATRIX-EDUCATION-version2.pdf or something like that.
