Problem with internal mark (1 Viewer)

[iane]

Hey guys I just got my atar and had some questions about my English internal mark. So I am ranked 2 in school so shouldn't I get the 2nd highest mark in our school for English. ranked 1 in English scored 95 but someone got higher with a 98 so 98 became his internal mark, so isn’t the 2nd highest mark being the 95 ranked 1 scored become my internal mark? Thanks because my internal mark came out to be 91

Spacing is also preserved in some cases, so if their internal mark is considerably higher than yours, than it would make sense that you end up with a lower score than exactly 2nd's score.

My scores were external; 90 and internal ; 91 / number 1 was external; 95 and internal; 98

Nesa's Alignment isn't a 1 to 1 ratio because they try to approximate your school's internal marks to fit their criteria. Since your school's rank 1 scored 95 and you scored 90, it's possible that NESA tried to fix the gap by giving the 95 someone else (the person who scored 98 external). The actual methods that NESA use are a lot of high level statistics, So they sometimes appear wrong

can we argue

Yeah, so you were a decent bit behind in internals and that spacing was preserved when mapping to externals, resulting in your mark.

rip same exact thing happened to me - I came 2nd in internals but got 95 in hsc, and second highest hsc got 92, but instead of me getting that I got 87 rip
I was so confused but since seeing this thread I get its bc I was quite far behind while being 2nd in internals haha so maybe NESA tried spacing us out, still annoying and def not what we got taught was how they calculated assessment mark which sucks
