Understanding your HSC mark and performance band

The HSC mark averages your exam mark and assessment mark

The HSC mark you receive for each course, reported beside the exam mark and the assessment mark, is simply the average of these two marks. Half-marks are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

For example, if your exam mark is 92 and assessment mark is 89, the average is 90.5. This is then rounded up to an HSC mark of 91.

Performance band is based on HSC mark

You are also awarded a performance band for each course based on your HSC mark. So, if your HSC mark is 91 you will be placed in Band 6.
