So then what do people mean when they say first place always gets the highest markYour raw marks get moderated to a 'Total Weighted Mark', (TWM) which factors in varying option questions or different prescribed texts. So, for example, it may factor in that for Chemistry, a 16/25 for Shipwrecks may be equivalent to a 19/25 in Industrial Chemistry (this is just an example). This puts all the subject's marks on an even playing field. This TWM is aligned, based on the total number of marks received by students for that exam that year (so a 70/100 may align to a 90, based on how hard the exam was). This aligned mark becomes the 'Exam Mark'. Your rank has no effect on your Exam Mark.
Is that the same for second place and so on?The student who is ranked first on internals is given a moderated assessment mark equal to the highest exam mark earned by the same school group.
Yes, only like that for first and last. The students in between first and last share the remaining exam marks according to their ranks and the size of the gap between each pair of students.Or is it only like that for first and last?
what if your equal 1st?Yes, only like that for first and last.
