checking is technically useless. because my physics tutor's friend got some papers checked because he was 0.01 off his course cut off. in clerical rechecks, they don't actually go through your paper and mark it again like they say they do, all they do is add up your marks again to make sure your marks haven't been added wrongly, 99.99% change says you won't get an extra mark.

I have removed last year's form as a link has been since provided to this year's form.

If you are aggrieved of this, you should talk to your principal about getting an "anomalous result inquiry". This is not an avenue of appeal, and you need to provide evidence that your result was anomalous (although I don't think this will be too difficult).

If you are aggrieved of the result of this inquiry, you can apply for your papers through Freedom of Information rights – although this is a tortuous process to do on your own.

If you would like to gain access to your raw marks and marks in each Question, you can e-mail me: I'm conducting a class action through FOI.

if the recheck is lower than the first mark, which one is counted? Is there harm in rechecking (apart from paying $24 for the english papers and $12 for others)

I'm considering a recheck... extremely disappointed with my English Extension 2 (oh and while I'm on it, anyone know if they give you back the diary and the Major Work?)

Your marks cannot be lowered as a result of a recheck.

Diaries and major works for English Extension 2 will be sent to your school.

do anyone know how fast they can check the clerical recheck?
I applied for two courses last year on December 22; I received notice of the result on 4 January.

If you require an urgent re-check, call the HSC Advice Line 13 11 12; tell them what the urgency is and how you can prioritize your request.

I got 84 in Chemistry as an examination mark which I thought was strange. That works out to be 70s raw and I'm pretty sure I did much better then that.
