NESA going Easy? (1 Viewer)

With this year being so disruptive with COVID-19, I've heard a lot of people saying NESA has been giving easy HSC exams this year to compensate. What do you guys think? Is that true?

But they established the 2020 HSC Exams this February, before Covid-19 was affecting Quality of Life in Australia

Why are you so concerned, better that it’s in the student favour!

I'll answer this question in 9 days time...

but so far from what I heard from others the HSC English exam was noticeably easier than 2019 ( I found it OK)

well english paper 1 was definitely easier, eco was same level imo, we'll see about maths tho...

english was easy, i have heard ancient and eco were easy too... i wonder if this is all a coincidence

it’s gotta be a coincidence since questions were written before may... but who knows, maybe they decided to change them later as the covid situation got worse? I doubt they’d go to that much effort though haha

Exams on the average have been becoming easier over the years across many subjects so I don't think it's something explicitly related to the coronavirus. You can see that trend by just looking at the rawmarks and what it aligned to in the past. Back in the day when a high 70s low 80 was a band 6 in maths and a decent band 6 in chemistry. Now that won't even get you close to a band 6

wait, the raw mark you get in the HSC exams isn't your external mark?

It is but they do alignment to it. i.e. a band 6 doesn't mean you got a 90 in the exam
