Appeal to Remark an Exam...Possible? (1 Viewer)

[scarletD]

I know this probably sounds grotesque, but here's the story. My english extension2 major work has been granted a humiliating low mark, which is highly unusual according to my past performance, school assessment mark (48/50) and teachers' comments etc. I don't really need it to improve my UAI--i got enough from my other 10 units--but it's just so indignant because ext2 is the sub that i put in the most effort, faith and talent if it's possible.
Anyways, too much for the story. Question: is it possible to appeal to BOS to remark my major work? If so, how do i appeal? Would my teacher be able to help? Any rational help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you^^

From what I know, unfortunately they won't.

From most of the EE2 people I've talked to, their exam marks are much lower than their school marks (and this includes my own major work, which I got an exam mark of 35 for). I guess that it's just really, really subjective. If they don't "get" your work, then you get a low mark, regardless of how hard you worked for it. It's a pain in the butt, but it's reality - subjectivity affects all of the arts, perhaps even more predominantly in the professional and pre-professional level industry.

I'm glad your other units pulled you through, I only had ten units! But oh well, I still got high enough to get into my courses. I'm happy.

You personally cannot request a remark of your major work - you can only check that the mark that was awarded has been recorded correctly and so on.

If you wish to appeal the mark itself, you will need to ask your Principal to speak to the Board.

me too, since the assessment mark for the thrre sciences listed in the BOS is much lower than that of what my teacher sent there i dont know if they scaled or what there is a 14-15 mark difference.

I think its a bit late now.

 

[callisto]

yeah that happened to me too. When I added my assessment marks up at school I came up with 45/50, but the assessment mark reported was 43/50. BUT the big problem was that my exam mark was only 39/50!! I almost burst into tears, I had spent soooo much time and put loads of effort into it, plus all my english teachers LOVED it and thought I would do really well.

so WHY was the exam mark so low?? what went wrong?? cause it's really hurt my UAI...
is it possible to appeal? I don't understand why I got such a bad mark. I've read some shocking 48/50 and 49/50 MWs over the years

I know someone in your position and they're getting it rechecked. Ring up the BoS and ask.

Marking shenanigans

I got 50- & I cannot BELIEVE it. I did the reflection statement the night before! Those wacky markers with their marking shenanigans! I love them!

Wrong thread. This thread is for appeals for those who didn't do as well.

So glad I didn't do ext 2 now - had a feeling something like that was gonna happen. Maybe they have really specific marking criteria...

 

[Phanatical]

For Extension Music in 2002, my Assessment mark and my Exam mark differed by 8 points. I got an assessment mark of 46, an exam mark of 38, and a final score of 42.

(S)he's in the same position as you, a marking blunder.

Fuck the Board

A similar thing happened to me as well - for ext.1 english, my internal mark was 47/50 but my HSC raw mark was 31/50! Argh! Thats a whopping 16 mark difference! So I ended up with 39/50 for my overall mark!!! Not happy.

By internal mark do you mean the actual mark that you got in your school assesment? If so then there probably isnt a problem since internal marks are moderated based on your ranks and schools performance

 

[135ttree]

my 47/50 was titled Assessment mark and my 31/50 was titled as HSC mark

 

[absolution*]

my 47/50 was titled Assessment mark and my 31/50 was titled as HSC mark

That just means you stuffed up in the exam. Extension 2 is a whole different kettle of fish as it is a major work.

 

[135ttree]

Ext. 1 english , like Ext.2 is still marked by individual markers who could easily make mistakes, as in making a 16 mark mistake!

 

[callisto]

Is it actually possible for the markers to make a mistake, and assign you the wrong mark? I know that it's probably highly unlikely, but it's not impossible.

Does anyone know if this has happened before? cause it could explain lower than expected marks

ok boys and girls ..
the morale of the story is


... dont do ext 2 eng
