I know a guy who got 19.5/20 for an essay for HSC english, do they usually give out decimal marks or is it rare? And for what subjects?

that teacher clearly thinks thinks shes a snowflake. It's a rubric with 5 grades (A B C D E) and 4 dot points . How can you get a decimal from that?

it's common sense kiddo. You're just pulling stuff out of your ass, who told you they round 19.5 to 20? who told you they average the marks of two markers? The markers aren't allowed to give different marks.
nope, you're wrong. a 19.5 goes up to a 20. i have sources. and ur wrong kid.

its double marked, a 19.5 turns into a 20
That’s actually false, I saw a 23 students mark distribution and he actually got 2 19.5 (he bought his marks from NESA). But I believe since it’s double marked they take the average if the discrepancy isn’t too large between the marks awarded, eg one marker gave 19 the other gave 20 the student will get a 19.5 and no it won’t be rounded. However if u only get 1 .5 mark and your overall is in the .5 it will get rounded up to the nearest whole.
