what raw mark would you need to state rank in pdhpe, legal studies and bio?
For bio I think it's possible to SR with a 97 HSC mark, which should be around a 93 raw mark? It seems a bit low though, so take that with a grain of salt

no way a 93 raw is a SR that sounds INSANE bro

it does make me curious for other subjects though

Well I know that a 97 HSC mark is a SR, and from the raw marks data (which is quite outdated), that corresponds to a 92-94 raw. Blame the HSC bio markers, I swear they're out for us :mad2:

theres no way a raw of 93 aligns to 97

i just checked and a raw of 93 last year aligned to a 94

and im pretty sure the “97 hsc mark for a sr” doesnt apply for all subjects. For math, eng and sci subjects its def higher

Ah ok I looked at it the other way and found what raw mark corresponded to the 97 HSC mark, but those were from 2014/2016 so it must no longer be the case. That'd make more sense lol

And yeah, I only meant it for bio. Many subjects have 100 HSC marks

just a random question yall, if im rank 2 in my cohort for a subject, is it possible to state rank or should i scrap my state rank dreams
How close are you to rank ?Like are you rank 2 by a difference of 1 mark per instance? I recall from 2023, the guy who got 1st in English Advanced ranked 3rd internally at NSB. I'm assuming there was not much of a difference betwen the ranks' respective distances. All this to say, is that rank is less important than rank distance. If at X high school, the difference between rank 1 and rank 200 (bottom rank) was 10 marks, and anyone within the cohort gets 100/100 in the external exam, all ranks 1-200 will get an assessment mark somewhere between 90 and 100 (you keep your exam mark).

I think it also depends on how well the ranks above you perform. If rank 1 gets a 98 and you get 99, then you can still SR, but if rank 1 gets a 90 (exaggerated) then maybe not? Just theorising though

Yes, my friend was rank 2 in ancient and state-ranked (it was a pretty high SR too)
wait how does that work? is it cause rank 1 did bad in the external? also how common is it for rank 2 to state rank and not rank 1? sorryy for so many questionsss

Nah rank 1 did well, but my friend just did better. The whole cohort did very well, actually

As for how common it is, I'm not sure! But it seems that it's not extremely rare

It's probably not all that rare at higher ranked schools especially selectives since cohorts tend to be tighter at the high end, whereas at other schools it's more likely that first place is an outlier
It entirely depends on how close together 1st and 2nd are! Also, it's possible that 1st just barely missed out on the rank e.g. 2nd came 10th in the state

anyways is anybody else cooked for chemistry
