Ranks, internal and external scores (1 Viewer)

[hsc2k17]

Hey everyone!

I was just wandering, is it really true that if you're ranked first internally, that you will also get the first mark externally no matter who in your grade scores it?

Last year, there were 2 cases in my school
1. Person A was ranked 1st in chemistry with 99 internally and B ranked 2nd with 92 internally. However, the external mark for Person A a was in the 70's/80's and ended up with a band 5, while Person B scored 90 and ended up with a band 6
2. Same thing happened with maths

So has this happened at any other school too?

(btw i thought it was not possible so i checked with like every teacher teaching those subjects and it turned out to be true)

This is not the case.

If you're ranked first, your *internal* mark is adjusted (moderated) to = the top external mark.
Your own external mark is what it is, you don't get the top external mark as your external mark.

So if say, i get 92 internally and I'm coming 1st, and then in the HSC myself or a fellow student gets 99, will my mark be adjusted to 99? or close

Your internal mark will definitely be 99 if you're ranked first. (Source: Myself after feeding a few people in externals LOL)

Just your assessment mark will be adjusted to 99.

Thanks guys, HSC actually makes a lot more sense now and sounds so much more fair than i first thought
