For my SOR Trial I received 9/15 for the short answers section. The marking for that was atrocious as the items they said I didn't include were indeed obviously there.
I then wrote up an appeal for each question stating why I should receive more marks. Said teacher after a week said no and didn't give any explanation. So then I went through the correct appeal process and attached my reasoning to the sheet. Weeks later (last friday) and I still hadn't been given a reply and I noticed that the mark for my trial was unchanged on my report. As a result I emailed my curriculum coordinator (the one who deals with appeals) and asked what was happening as I received nothing back. She stated that because the Studies of Religion Coordinator (the one who re-assesses studies of religion tasks) has been away that instead the original marker HAD remarked my appeal and this had resulted in no change and that I would receive all documentation on Tuesday (24/09/13)
Tuesday then came along and she came up to be and verbally admitted that what she told me in the email was all lies and that the appeal had been sitting on the SOR coordinators desk for weeks. She then went on to say that my appeal had only just be reviewed from another SOR teacher in another school in the previous day(s). I was then handed by her the documentation that I had originally submitted along with poorly written "dot points" of what was wrong with my answers. With this no name of the teacher, or any signing off on my appeal submission was with it.
Bored of Studies Community, what do I do? It doesn't help when the original marker is the assistant principal, his wife is "an SOR teacher from another school" whom I believe was the one that "reviewed" it and when your School Executive Body lies to you.
I wouldn't normally be this persistent but it accounts for a theoretical 12% increase in my trial exam which was worth 50%.
