School Marks/HSC Marks (1 Viewer)

[nostalgicxfruit]

I was wondering if students have been performing average (in terms of marks and rankings, like 70/220) throughout the year in their school based assessments but decide to pick up the slack after Trials, worked hard to obtain high HSC external examination marks of 90-95% still receive potentially low UAIs (70-80). Because isn't the system meant to reward students who've worked consistently hard throughout the year, and thus those people who did well in the HSC external exam but poorly in school would lose their high HSC mark to others ranked higher than them?

i think it also depends on the school. like ok, so if your grade does really well all year at your school but stuffs up the HSC, then bos will be like, ok, that school must have marked them easy considering they didn't do well overall, s the marks may be dropped.

but if you get ok marks in your assessments, but you and your school do really well in the HSC, then thinking that it must have been marked really hard (school mark that is) then your mark may be pulled up, because you still did well amongst the State...

You do not lose your high HSC exam mark.

You get two marks - the moderated assessment mark and the actual HSC exam mark. These two marks are divided by 2 to give you your final mark.

That then rewards both consistent effort across the year and those who do work really hard for the exam itself.

You will always keep your own external mark. Which is obviously a plus if you do well in it.
