Yay. Look at my link for where to send it. HahaYeah, I'll scan it now (HSC 2009)...

Thanks a lot for ur response, so I can see there is no matter about the rank,but the difference % between the 1st and mine."Middle" rank doesn't mean anything to BOS. Your rank doesn't mean anything unless you are first or last. Let's say you're in a cohort of 50, you are 25th ranked. You could be 5% behind first place, or you could be 20% behind first place. In both cases, you are still 25th, but being 5% behind first is much better than being 20% behind first.
So we can't tell if your internal mark will be 70% or not. It could be 90, or it could be 55. It depends on how many marks you gained at school and the difference in marks between students.
It's the difference between each rank. I just used 1st and 25th because you can't get perspective if I had said 24th and 25th.Thanks a lot for ur response, so I can see there is no matter about the rank,but the difference % between the 1st and mine.
Because I visited some website said the person who get 1st external, the mark will be the 1st's internal mark. What about the person who get 1st internal and the person who get 1st external are different, what will be the internal mark give to the person who get 1st external, is that depend on the rank? do u get what I try to said, sorry about my poor explain.It's the difference between each rank.

The person who is ranked 1 will receive the highest exam mark for their moderated assessment mark, and they keep their own exam mark (everyone keeps their own exam mark). Don't think of the HSC exams being ranked. The order of your exam performance doesn't matter. The person who achieves the highest exam mark in your school will get whatever mark they get for their moderated assessment mark (this is calculated through their raw school marks) + their own exam mark.Because I visited some website said the person who get 1st external, the mark will be the 1st's internal mark.

Yeah, I was thinking of giving myself 2/5 for that response but it felt stupid that pretty much all the criteria were fine except one or two of them for 4-5/5. Apart from that, the responses should be marked closer to HSC - I don't remember being like "errr..." to any other criteria.http://imgur.com/PkokJ,DcEDT,U0NfG,lXdX6,C9Zr5,QQDkk
I marked it... I gave you a little lower than you gave yourself, but don't be disheartened because that is still either band 6 or almost band 6 (88-91) depending on your option.
But to get in that band of answer you pretty much have to do all the stuff it says. This isn't english.Yeah, I was thinking of giving myself 2/5 for that response but it felt stupid that pretty much all the criteria were fine except one or two of them for 4-5/5.

By the way, if you thought that was an easy test, look at the Forensic Chemistry 7 marker...most retarded question ever.
Yeah, that's good, remember that for future and you're definitely on your way to a mid band 6I guess some extra stuff would be
Source: lightning strikes, combustion of biomass and bacterial decomposition.
Evidence: increased rate of weathering of buildings and statues - more in the last 50 years than 500 natural years of weathering, increased frequency of acid rain.
Problems: some nitrogen oxides can act as greenhouse gases, contributes to acid rain.

Okay, I was on my iPod and I couldn't see the other pages...lolBut to get in that band of answer you pretty much have to do all the stuff it says. This isn't english.
Did you look at the rest of them?
20a - your answer had been rounded wrong anyway.Okay, I was on my iPod and I couldn't see the other pages...lol
Q19. Coherence etc is more subjective and it's hard to me to see if my own work is not coherent but if you say it isn't coherent then it probably isn't.
Q20a. Correct sig. figs. aren't a criteria in HSC unless it's specificied (sometimes it's specifically specified but otherwise, it shouldn't matter) HOWEVER, it should always be in the right sig. figs. when possible.
Q20b. If the can is more conductive, heat won't be excessively lost from the spirit burner - it's still a part of the apparatus.
Q21a. Sample Answer: "Acid 1 is a strong acid, equivalence point is at pH = 7 and initial pH is at 1. Acid 2 is a weak acid as pH at equivalence point is >7 and initial pH is >1. Acid 2 has a higher concentration than Acid 1 as it takes more KOH to neutralise it."
I covered all of that, I believe that one SHOULD still be a 3/3.
Q21b. Well, that's awkward LOL - my bad, didn't realise that silly
Q22c. Yeah, that was...curious...I was expecting a carry on error but I dunno what happened (what a waste of a mark)...
Q23. Your marking is in line with HSC there, I think.
Q25a. FUCK.
Q25b. Yeah, that's fair enough. 1 sounds about right - steam 3 would be a carry on error, I guess.
Q26c. You were lenient in this question. "Correctly labels metals and ions with cathode and anode reversed" is two marks, I didn't label the anode and cathode at all - "Correctly labels metals and ions without stating cathode and anode" is 1 mark and that's all that I satisfied. I didn't realise that it said to identify the anode and cathode...
Anyway, I think your marking is generally harsher than HSC to some extent.
Personally, I should be getting a couple more marks than what you gave because well, you're probably tighter than HSC (slightly) but either way, ~90 exam mark performance.
I dunno... I don't think you should argue, I think you should just work on making your answers better because there's no arguing with HSC markers.Yeah, it's hard to say but I still think there were a couple that fully satisfied the criteria... Did you look at the marking criteria for the ethanol question afterwards and compare and did it look reasonable to give you 1?
Either way, I overperformed relative to my rank (14/56)...which is actually quite sad.
Yep.I just thought some parts were unreasonable as well, that's how the HSC is - unfair shit but yeah, you can't do much.
Fuck, I'm pretty sure I'll get ~91 exam mark, 84 assessment mark. FUN FUN FUN
Lol, they were some extenuating circumstances like I was really sick in trials, more time pressure to study for all subs and getting MW in cause I was overseas.Sorry to say, but if you fucked up the trial you'll probs fuck up the HSC too.
