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

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).
our cohort is really small. in terms of that specific subject theres only 6 people...
between me (i'm rank 2) and rank one i think it's 1 or 2 marks no more than 5. top 3 only differ by a couple marks, it's always a constant shift between the three of us after every exam. but yeah cumulatively i'm rank 2

That's good then. That means you won't be too negatively affected.

did the second question say to write for OR against or for AND against
i genuinely dont remember
i read it as or..
I think it said to write if you are for or against the plan. It wouldn't really make sense if it were the other way since it was kind of a personal response per se
