I am doing 3u maths, and as far as I am aware, NESA reports both an internal and external mark out of 50, and the final HSC mark is the average of the 2 out of 50 (rounded up in case the average isn't an integer). So say someone gets an aligned 93 on the external, and aligned 95 for the internal section. Do these marks first get converted to a mark out of 50 (i.e. 47/50 and 48/50 respectively, rounding up)? Because if so, the final HSC mark would be the average of 47 and 48, giving them a 48/50, which seems like an inflated final score based on the actual performance.

I would say they would do 93 -> 46.5 + 95-> 47.5 then add them together without rounding and then divide. As you said a person that got 94 and 96 would otherwise get the same score despite performing 2 marks lower
