Just fiddling around with the Moderating simulator, a question arose:
I input some hypothetical figures...
Raw school assessment mark/Exam mark/Moderated mark
98/91/99
97.7/99/98.4
97/94/97.1
95.5/90/94.4
....
I eliminated the remaining 6 figures.
Suppose I alter it slightly so that 1st and 2nd tie:
98/91/96.5
98/99/96.5
97/94/95.1
95.5/90/93.1
I know that when the top two tie they both get the average of the highest two exam marks as their moderated assessment mark...but isn't this slightly unfair?
E.g. In the scenario above, the person who tied but did better in the exam would actually have been far better off coming outright 2nd (even if it was by 0.1) than tying - isn't this rather odd? In fact, everyone in the scenario would have been better off had there not been a tie for 1st
