what if you crash a HUGE test? (2 Viewers)

[Thowra]

Right-o I just completely bombed my last exam worth 20%, and I'm currently REALLY at the bottom of my grade.
So, if my ranking's really low and say in the HSC I get really good, then that good mark goes to someone else, right? So does that mean...I cannot get a band 6 anymore? And does a band 5 get a scale up?

 

[Prashant Sallan]

why are you thinking so far ahead? think positive.. you've only done 20% of your assessment mark, you still have 80% of it left, think on acing that... Good Luck..

As others have said, there is still 80% to go. You aren't even thinking about your trials - 40%. Start stressing then.

For your final HSC mark there are two components; your HSC mark (from the external exam which is 50%) and your internal assessment mark (also 50%). If you do really well in your external then you get a very good external mark simple as that. No one will take your good external mark away from you. What you are worried about is your internal mark which is linked to your rank and to the performance of your cohort. In this situation yes; even if you do better than person X in the external but person X is ranked higher than you internally then person X will get a higher internal mark. However just because you might be ranked low for one assessment (and only 20% I have to say; 80% (including the heavily weighted trials) to go) does not mean you will have an terrible internal mark. It all depends on your cohort; what school you go to and your preformance in your later assessments. Furthermore make sure you take into account the difficulty of the exams set by your school and the nature of your cohort. E.g. Coming average in a highly ranked school is actually a good achievement and can be equal or better to coming top 10 in a lower ranked school (obviously not necessarily but you do get my point).
Essentially the point of my rant is that your HSC is not doomed; you can still get a Band 6 and the only moment when it is too late to do something about your HSC marks is when you walk out of the HSC external exam. A 20% internal exam contributes only 10% to your combined HSC marks so don't stress and just take it as a learning experience to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
