On the Internet results you get in December it will state "Mathematics Extension 1 ABSENT" as a final check that you really weren't there. When you get the formal record of achievement in January then Mathematics Extension 1 will have disappeared. Having said all that, you have come this far...

That's not true. If you do not attend every part of an examination that course will be removed from your record of achievement. It will NOT be reported with a mark of zero. The only exception is a course like languages, where you receive the speaking mark even if you do not attend the written exam.

Also think outside the square. Do they like a drink ---> bottle of wine or boutique beer pack. Or a fruit basket. An impressive gift pen. A tie (for a man, if he wears them). A scarf for a female. Trust me, teachers will always be touched when a student takes the time to acknowledge their...

Def. chocolates. A gift card says "I couldn't be bothered spending the time choosing something appropriate for you."

Yep, only about 30% of students go straight to university after the HSC. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/beyond.html

Sorry, I did not realise this was a competition.

The HSC results are released by the Board of Studies. The ATAR is released by UAC. If both results were released at the same time, students may over-concentrate on the single value ATAR, without properly considering their achievement on a course-by-course basis. The earlier release of the HSC...

Your school, rank, gaps and marks have absolutely no impact on your external mark. That mark is determined solely by whatever you write during the three hours that you sit and respond to those examinations.

You previously started a thread at http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=293137 Was it really necessary to start another thread and have the discussion all over again?

^ correct

B.O.S. annual reports show that around 90% of illness & misadventure appeals are approved, so your chances are pretty good.

If a student sits an exam at a different time to everyone else, they are also required to sign a statutory declaration that they have not discussed, or will not discuss, the contents of the exam with any other person.

Limiting clashes is important, also large exams like English and Maths take longer to mark so they are held earlier. Other considerations include making the best use of the marking centres, so later exams can be marked when earlier exams are finished marking. Extension exams are generally held...

The role of the presiding officer is to comment on your appearance/demeanour during the exams. For example, were you crying? Did you spend long periods staring into space? That information assists the b.o.s. to assess your appeal, particularly the extent of your grieving if you appeal over...

For the sickness you will need a med cert. For your grandmother's passing you will need to provide a funeral notice or death certificate. Talk to the supervisor or your teacher about an appeal form. Good luck!!!

Let's assume you were on raw 88 and the next person on raw 85. Also assume the highest exam mark for your class is 92. So by interpolation, 85 -> 92 and 100 -> 100. Where do you fit in? Your mark will be 92 + (88-85)/(100-85) x (100-92) = 93.6 ~ 94. So your moderated assessment will be 94...

Yes, you can buy a copy from the bos after the results

If you leave in the first hour it is malpractice because other ppl can still join the exam. If you leave b4 one hour your course may be cancelled.

You cant claim illness and misadventure for the same condition that already got you a writer.

Once again for those who don't seem to get it: "During reading time, you must not write, use any equipment including highlighters, or annotate your examination paper in any way." "If you do not follow these rules, or if you cheat in the examinations in any way, you may be asked to leave the...
