Are the aligned marks reported to students in courses such as English Extension 2 and Music Extension – where the "examination" is precisely the same each year: just a submitted work – subjected to an aligning process?
I think they are, because Lazarus' results indicate he received a Total Weighted Mark of 38/50 for Extension 2 English with an aligned examination mark of 46/50.
Why is this done? Shouldn't the marks correspond precisely to the aligned marks, as there is no change in standard to the "examination" each year?
Or is it to allow greater distinction between students? (Marks range from 0 - 50, instead of 25 - 50.) I don't think makes much sense.
