The marks don't count, but the ranks do. Hence why in class assessments are extremely important.Are you sure because I heard that class assessment marks don't count because different schools set different difficulties..?
Lol Panda. The ranks don't count except 1st and last. Its about the percentage differences between the ranks that counts.The marks don't count, but the ranks do. Hence why in class assessments are extremely important.

Except for first and last, ranking does not determine your assessment mark.Your ranking determines what you will get in your hsc.
No, that only applies for first and last. 3rd rank does not receive the 3rd highest exam mark. Assessment marks are moderated based on how close you are to first place in terms of marks, not ranks. Being within 2% is better than being within 20%, yet you could have the same rank in both scenarios. The process of moderation is explained here: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html and in the hundreds of threads here that ask the same or similar thing.If you are ranked first in your assessments, you will get half of the first hsc exam mark ( even if it's someone else) PLUS whatever you get for your exam mark.
Someone who was third in assessment ranks but first in exam will get half of the third ranked persons mark in hsc exams PLUS their top exam mark!
