Does your internal rank drag your HSC mark .. (1 Viewer)

[Cloesd]

Down.. IF.. hypothetically if everyone in the entire cohort (including yourself) aced the HSC exam?

Lets say person A slacked off the entire year, realized "oh shet"... and then persuaded his 8 man class to all undergo rigorous perfectionist training to get 90+ in the exams.

Will the BOS specifically look at person A, and say "ho very bad boi, try to do good too late, lets nerf him" OR... Is the bored of study just a machine that takes in internal marks, moderates based on external results of the cohort, averages with external scaled mark and spits out a HSC mark.

I don't think the board will 'nerf' him. If you aced the exam, that's the mark you get (well its moderated, but it's your mark and has nothing to do with your internal ranking relative to others in your school). However if you did shit internally, you'll get a shit internal mark and since your HSC mark is an average of the two, you'll do shitter than your friends.

So yeah - second option. Don't think it's a machine though.
