i got mine back today. i got 39.5/40 that suck! i so deserved 40. i am appealing for a higher mark. i cant belive the teachers had the nerves to give me 39.5, what does she think i am stupid or something?!?! like hello .. so totatlly not fair
hey this jess layden. i have been on holidays and my sister has taken over my account ( this is not a joke, its the truth!)
anyway i have finsished the hsc
but my sister lisa, did hist ext this year and the above ^^ was her posting!!
from what i have heard ( i did some searches and looked at rep comments) she has been posting crap up all over the forums while i have been holidaying in europe ( contiki tour .. really good!!!) so yeah i may have to create a new account now lol everyone thinks i am a loser and is sending insults my way
In relation to my sister Lisa's, extension hist story, yeah its true she got 39.5/40 and yes she wants to apeal! i asked her whether she thinks she has achieved perfection and this is what she said: ( btw these are her words but i am typing so they are not exact or anything! lol
She thinks that in a way her assigment was perfect. She says she wouldnt have handed it in if she didnt honestly believe it was perfect.
hey its me lisa if i thought i would gets 20/40 .. would i hand in?? no .. it would be stupid to hand in a major work with flaws! .. i got my teachers help and got frienz to go through it .. nothing illegal or anything until it reached a stage that i thought was the best thata i could do and was perfect ( im not saying i was perfect or anything but u know) also the offical BOS website says u dont haveta be perfect. it sasy it recognises that hist. ext. is a hard sub and thata sutdents dont have to be perfect and uni level but high school level. 40/40 is possible and shoulkd be achived
anyway .. wanna know what happened? at our school if u have an appeal u have 2 try solve with class teacher, then head teacher, deputy than who knows
i went to class teacher and she got ht in staright away and i told them what i thought. in the end they said they agree with the justification of the request but no the nature of it. im like what the ? so they said that they would give me half of what i request .. i requested an extra 1/2/ mark ( some rule about stepping half way if the case has equal amounts of thing 4 and against)
so anyways then technically i have got like 39.75/40
but they dont include quarter mark thingies so it rounds to 40/40 lol
so i am like yeah i got 40/40 and they are like NOOOOO you got 39.75 and it rounds to 40 and im like so i got 40 and there like no .. but i didnt bother to argue i mean in the end i get the marks! even though i cant technically tell people i got full marks coz i got 39.75/40 .cmon since when do teachers mark 2 too decimal points?
