If it is agreed that you are sick, then your exam mark will either your total mark on both papers, or your internal assessment, whichever is higher. Even if you were only sick for one paper, the decision is made across both papers. That is, it is as though English was one examination and you...

I repeat, there are no typists in marking centres. Possibly the marker is confused because a small number of answers come typed, but that is because the student was given permission to use a computer, not because it was typed by another person (the imaginary typist).

Think about what the English exam would be like with 70,000 students all being on a secure website at the same time. Every student in every school must have fast access, there couldn't be any waiting time for the next question, every essay must be constantly saved to not lose it. Anyone who's...

Essays are re-marked if the difference between the two marks is more than 1/3 of the maximum mark. So if an essay is out of 15 then the two marks cannot be further apart than 5. So 8 and 12 is OK, (8 + 12)/2 = 10 marks for the essay. But if the first two marks are 6 and 12 then there is...

yeah but what happens if you have a speech impediment or social phobia and cant talk to a writer?

All wrong. There are NO typists, all markers work the same hours, meal breaks are taken at the same times.

All answers to the same question are marked in the same marking centre. Different questions go to different places.

All good, except the Board does not "scale" or take into account the difficulty of the subject. That's what UAC does for the ATAR. The Board simply "aligns" the exam mark against the published performance bands for that course.

Costs 30 cents from anywhere in the state. You can't call from a mobile.

Only for Food Technology.

Yeah but they have demonstrated they are mean-spirited pricks. The pres wasnt mean to anybody.

So long as the supervisors don't think you are accessing constants, formulas or notes in the watch memory. Can't you use the wall clock for the same purpose?

What a bunch of sad bastards you are to attack someone you have never met. At least with losers like you we will still have someone to keep the toilets clean at McDonalds.

Not necessarily. If his external mark is so bad that he is considered an outlier/bombout, then the SECOND internal ranker gets the highest external mark as an assessment. Then jung1239 gets an assessment mark calculated according to how far he is between the second ranker and 100.

What happened in Bio?

Wouldn't that be against school rules?

I'm not making a strong point, and it is probably ok, but your selection of pens IS a behaviour. How would you feel if the student beside you used a calculator that made a musical tone every time a key was pressed?

"You must not behave in any way likely to disturb the work of any other student or upset the conduct of the examination. If you do not follow these rules, you may be asked to leave the examination room and will be reported to the Board of Studies."...

Strictly speaking, you should have applied for provisions to use medication during an exam. However, you should be OK if you advise the supervisor before the exam that you have it, and may need to use it.

That is not correct. You cannot FINISH THE EXAM and leave during those times. You can ask to go to the toilet at any time during an exam.
