ok so, if you're ranked first in a subject the highest external mark becomes your internal mark doesnt it? for english extension 1 there is large difference between my external and internal :/ shouldnt it be the same mark?

No

You keep you exam mark as your external and your internal is based on ranks

Just means you were beaten in the subject in the exam

If your internal mark is lower than your external mark there's a problem.

If your internal mark is higher than your external mark then maybe somebody in your class did better than you.

No, if your internal is lower that means you did better externally.

But OP was ranked first. And if they were ranked first then their internal mark should have been the highest external mark. If OP's external mark is higher than the internal mark there's a problem because they haven't been given the highest external mark as their internal mark.

Were you outright first or equal first?

If equal then the internal mark is the average of the firsts externally.

Are you sure you were first? Not just equal first?
