The percentage mark between me and rank 2 was 17% so why did we end up so close if we were all led to believe that we were much better than we actually were. Shouldn't there marks too be a significant distance behind mine considering how far the gap between us is? But instead there marks are...
Aww damn. Was really hoping it was a mistake of some sort but eh... I guess I'll have to live with it. I've been doing a lot of research and looking into other pathways anyway and I've found a number of ways that will enable me to get into biomedical or medical science.
So to finish this off...
I think recklessricks answer would explain it. In my time at the school my cohort was easily the most study minded. The majority of us were focused on getting good atars whereas in previous years I know that there was a large portion of students that weren't eligible for atars. This year the...
Yes yes, I understand that. But even if it was a ridiculously easy exam and everyone else was just struggling with that while I was the only one that found it easy. Would that not mean that there marks would go down significantly too and not just my own. They hardly had any decrease in marks...
So even though I could clearly be seen as well ahead of my cohort, I still ended up with marks they had even though I never received anything close to that. I believe bostes is supposed to compensate for underperformance in the final exams.
And yeah mathematics was a seriously weak subject for me. My school has a messed up system in which maths is only run every second year. As such I didn't do any math in grade 11 and was forced to do all of prelim and HSC in a year
So my work throughout the year and the marks I got were entirely worthless and don't play a role in the bigger picture? At the least the marks I got should signify that I was quite a bit ahead of my cohort but that isn't shown at all in my results.
I would assume quite low as I was the highest marked student in a number of subjects when compared to previous marks given in previous HSC years. Is there a way I can check?
Throughout the year I was well above my cohort in a number of subjects. We do two HSC units in year 11 which is why you'll only see four HSC units in this post. At the end of all assessments my school assessment marks were as follows:
English std: 95, rank 1. (13% above rank 2)
Studies of...
That's what I thought and still do think would be the only explanation for it if these results are correct. However, if that's the case then doesn't that mean that my school favouritised me over other students, eg giving me an internal mark of 95 while second got 78. If that's the case then I...
Throughout the year I was doing quite well in a number of subjects. Those being English standard, studies of religion and design/tech. For each subject I received an internal mark of 95 for English, 92 for religion and 85 for design and technology. I was ranked 1 in English and religion by...
