The marks do not matter.
If you are first by one mark, you are still first.
Being first also means that the highest exam score from anybody in your school for that course will automatically become your assessment mark. It pays to be 1st.

hmm righto
i dunno, coz ppl were telln me, as long as u make it in the top 3, ull be fine. but i understand where ur cumn from. So, if the 1st placed person, gets lower in the HSC than his internal, then the whole average drops yeah?

yeah i think there is....
i did a couple of hsc subjects last year (pathways) and anyway, i came 3rd in society and culture (internally) however, i beat both the 1st and 2nd person in the exam, and i ended up with the higest mark...
i dont know how it works exactly, but it would be very unfair if the number 1 person automatically got the highest exam mark...if that was the case why would you even bother studying if your mark is just going to go to someone else?

^^^ Try the Prototype moderator to give you an indication.
If you come 2nd by just one mark, then there shouldn't be much of a difference, because the distance between the candidature is also taken into account.

To the OP:
Even though you're not 1st, the fact that the gap is small (~ 1 mark) means that you shouldn't be adversely affected by the moderating process. Whatever the situation, the smaller the gap between you and the person in front, the better.
In terms of the process in general:
Yes, the person ranked first internally always gets the highest exam mark as their assessment mark. Note, however, that they may not necessarily get the highest HSC mark seeing as every student retains their own exam mark and the HSC mark is the average of the exam mark and the internal mark.
Person A could rank #1 and get 75 in the HSC exam. Person B, ranked 2nd and 1 mark behind Person A, might top his/her class with a 99 in the HSC exam. Even though Person A will have an internal assessment mark of 99, when you average the exam mark and the assessment mark, Person B will most likely end up with the highest HSC mark.

The reason why the person ranked 1st gets the highest exam mark as their assessment mark is so that people don't bludge through internal assessments and then miraculously perform well in the HSC exam. To do well, you must sustain a high level of performance throughout the year, and not just in the final HSC exam.laura_h said:
Why would a person work hard if their mark is going to someone else? Well, like I said in the post above, you retain your own exam mark regardless of your internal rank so doing well will help you as well (even if it does help someone else).
