I sent your letter and submissions on 1 May 2009 and requested their response within 30 days. It looks like they aren't going to comply with that request. But hopefully it won't take them too much longer. They are probably seeking legal advice. If they take too long it's easy enough to refer...

I am not sure your question makes sense. The moderated mark is the student's assessment mark after the school's raw internal assessment marks have been moderated against the school's examination marks. (The student's examination mark is always their examination mark. The HSC mark is the...

No, I never asked for them, and now they are long gone. :)

The Board of Studies is concerned that future markers involved in the setting of future cut-offs might be unduly influenced if they know past cut-offs.

It is a bit unfair, particularly as they have wrongly identified you as another user. To be honest, unless you're willing to take it all the way to the tribunal - which is probably not worth it for you right now - there's not much you can do. They have adopted a practice of discriminating...

In 2008 the percentage was approximately 2% of Advanced English students or 1% of all students who received a UAI. You can see this from Table A6 of the scaling report.

For the past four years it's been the top 1.6% of HSC students which has ranged between 1000 and 1100 students.

If the ranks and relative differences between students are roughly the same in both the internal assessments and the external exams there won't be much of an effect at all. The moderated marks would be similar to the exam marks.

Yep I received it and I'm still drafting a response - work has been busy. Hoping to finish it today though. I'll give you a copy for your comments before I post it.

Ohh, sorry, I completely misinterpreted your post. I take it all back. :)

No, you just used different marks to the OP - compare the numbers you used with the ones in his example. :)

Dell has an Easter sale on right now - the S2409W is advertised at $499 - not sure about RRP. http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=audhs1&c=au&l=en&s=dhs&rflag=EV&oc=S142409WAU&x=8&y=7&dgc=EM&cid=33187&lid=783209&acd=1058961993259710c

Technically, they're both incorrect. :) But chewy123 is the closest. (Dragonmaster262 used different numbers.) Ordinarily when there are only two students, the top moderated mark will be the top exam mark, and the bottom moderated mark will be the bottom exam mark. If the exam marks have a...

You can use "Magistrate Smith" or for a federal magistrate you can abbreviate it to "Smith FM".

There needs to be a signed copy in existence somewhere, but I don't need the original. So, if you signed it and then scanned it and emailed it to me, that would be fine.

DP - You would need to give me something in writing - e.g. see attachment. There are also a few other things I'd need to discuss with you to ensure that no conflicts of interest arise between acting for you in relation to UAC and acting for myself in relation to my side project with the Board...

The overarching consideration is whether you are a fit and proper person to practise as a solicitor, taking into account certain suitability matters. If the offence does not involve any element of dishonesty, is entirely disconnected from the practise of law and would not lower your reputation...

One other thought I had, it might actually be easier to start again with someone who already has their raw marks - obviously there can't be any claim of confidentiality in that situation. I would have applied myself but I wasn't sure whether they would still have my marks... they only need to...

This is fantastic. They have absolutely no legs to stand on at all. How fascinating! David, I need you to think about what you want to do about this. The options are: (a) do nothing, let it go; (b) write to them setting out a comprehensive case as to why the information is not confidential...
