Rank 1 => Asst/Exam marks don't match? (2 Viewers)

[asianese]

Under what circumstances will there be a discrepancy between your assessment mark and your exam mark if you're rank 1?

E.g. Exam > Asst?

Asst > Exam is where you fail the external and you get someone else's external mark?

Thanks

if you rank 1st, your exam mark should never be greater than your assessment mark.
As 1st place receives the highest exam mark as their assessment mark.

Unless there are ties. If you tie for first in the assessments then you will get the average of the exam marks that match the number of ties so two equal first would see an average of the top two exam marks as the assessment mark - so if your exam mark was 98 but the second exam mark was 94 you would have an exam mark of 98 but an assessment mark of 96 (average of 98 and 94) and a final HSC mark of 97.

True story for 2U last year

3 people tied on first. (Me included)
Assessment mark: 98
Individual exam marks: Me (96 weh fail), another 96, and 1 97.

If the asst mark is the average...then it doesn't work!

They may be talking about the actual hsc

No...someone who wasn't ranked first got the 98 in their HSC exam, hence why you got 98 for your assessment mark. Then your final HSC mark would have been 97. Everything is perfectly correct there.

Essentially, you three didn't perform to your rank and those lower performed better than you.

No, no one got 98 in their exam. Checked it.

Or maybe they did...all the people on rank 2 (another 3 people) got 97 (HSC mark). Maybe someone did get 98...idk.

It would be the only logical way though, unless BOS screwed up, but I doubt that.

There could also be one 99 which (99+97+97)/3 would get rounded as 98 assessment mark.

True case, but rather I was stressing that it had to be someone else who got 98 or 99 for their exam mark, and not the top 3 in asianese's case.

Oh well, just curious. Wouldn't have got 97 if it wasn't for the 98 lol... Anyway MX1, MX2 here we come. Thanks for the input, guys.
