Re: 回覆: Re: school rank?

Hey SS,

I don't get this whole rank/raw mark business. People tell me that ranks matter more than anything else, but what's the point of ranked first if the mark is shit in a low scale subject? Doesn't that drag you way down? How does the rankings tie in with the external and internal 50/50 thing? Sorry, I kow that's a lot of questions.

Rankings basically indicate what sort of HSC assessment mark you get after the HSC exams are over and done with. Your internal marks do not count, except for the differences between marks along ranks. What they do instead is take the exam marks your grade got in the HSC exams, then assign those marks to people based on their ranks. 1st rank will get the highest HSC exam mark as their HSC assessment mark and last rank will get the lowest HSC exam mark as their HSC assessment mark. Once those two bounds are taken, the marks are then distributed within the limits, taking into account the differences between internal assessment marks between ranks. That's pretty much the moderation process.

We had a BoS lady come and speak to us a while ago about scaling. Interesting talk, it was.

Re: 回覆: Re: school rank?

ummm ive just been wondering how does that work?

your in another country but your doing the HSC?

:S

Actually, it sort of hard to do an Australian system not in Australia. For example in when we were studying about Australian history last year, we had to find information for our assignment, we have to rely on the internet and few books from library. Besides, people here find it hard to get study guides.
It sort of unusual because the school year here runs from September to June and people here have holidays in July and August. When everyone are having holidays, we have to go to school, especially in August. And they will ask? Why are you going to school?

On the contrary, our teachers think our grade is going to go really well at the top end, but we don't have much of a middle to back it up.
