There seems to be one of these principals every year. Section 22 of the Board's official Rules and Procedures for 2006 HSC Candidates provides (p16): Just show that to your principal and he or she should relent immediately.

You should seek advice from the particular university.

SAM takes HSC marks. The HSC mark is the average of your aligned examination mark and your aligned assessment mark. For a course with no examination but with a major work, the mark for the major work is your examination mark. School assessment marks are not often comparable to aligned marks.

In the event of a successful misadventure application, you would generally receive as your examination mark the higher of your moderated assessment mark and your actual examination mark. It is difficult to discuss these procedures when there is (still) confusion surrounding the terminology...

This is correct. Yes. Yes. The deadline is 20 November 2006 (source). You should discuss the matter with your principal. This is not true. Your school submits only the total internal assessment mark for each student, and not the marks for individual tasks. It is up to your school to...

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Unclear, not enough information, try SAM.

Your assessment mark won't be affected much by your own exam mark - it is the distribution of the exam marks of your class as a whole that will be determinative. If you are ranked first in a subject within your school, you are guaranteed to receive the top assessment mark, regardless of what...

SAM is not currently able to calculate limited UAIs. Sorry.

Guys, please be careful with what you say on this topic. This is not an abstract or hypothetical situation. Real people are involved. The friends and family of this girl are completely distraught and are still grieving. It happens to be the case that they are aware of this thread and have...

The site is already running across two top of the line servers - we're looking for a more advanced solution, but there's no quick and easy fix, sorry.

The marks in the pie graph are your scaled marks. You should be estimating your own exam performance when you enter your anticipated HSC marks.

A 'two unit' course is made up of two units... it's possible for only one of them to count. :) Involves halving your mark.

No, that isn't the case - you're assuming that the internal range of marks will be the same as the external range of marks - but in fact that range could be squished or stretched with a corresponding effect on your mark.

The first proposition is correct. Your marks from both papers are added to give a total mark out of 105, and this is then converted to a mark out of 100.

Yes, a program that has been tailored to your specific school is likely to be more accurate than SAM. But for general programs of wider application, it's hard to do much better than SAM.

We're in the process of organising them now. :)

Ragerunner was pointing out that the anomalous student may be omitted from the moderating process as it applies to other students. You obviously don't want anyone else being unfairly pulled down etc.

What happens when you attempt to enter marks?

Mmm... same. :)

Uh, was anyone else expecting the ending to be completely different?
