Outliers
paigek3:
How far away does an outlier have to be? In my legal class I'm 8 marks (91%) ahead of second, and some people in my class are getting in the 40s%. Am I far enough ahead to be an outlier or not?

You are first place, so you are automatically an 'outlier' of sorts. Your internal mark is guaranteed to be equal to the highest aligned exam mark in the room - So if you score the highest in the exam, your cohort will have no effect on you whatsoever :)

Hey Jamon,
Just a question regarding this. I'm first in French Continuers with 81 but 2nd is on 70, 3rd is on 60 and 4th (we only have 4 in our class) is on 50.
Will their marks affect me? Thanks :)

Great thanks so much for that!! All this moderating, scaling and all the rest can get a bit overwhelming to figure out sometimes 😅
One more question, if I was to get the top mark in the hsc exam too, would my assessment mark and exam mark be the same? Or are they scaled/moderated differently

Nope! Provided you come first in the external exam, it will be like they never existed in the first place :)
