There was a tear-off section on the appeal form. The principal was supposed to sign it and give it to you.

The Board will send a letter to every HSC student, with their correct PIN, a few days before the release of results.

No, they just get a certificate in the mail. The list will be published in the media, and on the BOS website, soon after the results are released.

If you have ranked higher than other students and don't deserve it then THEY will most likely appeal against their ranks. It is most unusual for a student to appeal because their ranks are too high!

It's always good if schools can avoid this. It can create animosity between the two students, especially if one student does badly and drags down the average.

They can only do that if the students reveal their ATARs.

They give marks for anything correct, regardless of where its written

Yes, only like that for first and last. The students in between first and last share the remaining exam marks according to their ranks and the size of the gap between each pair of students.

wtf who is "Ananya Chakravorty"? I heard she doesn't even do Biology! Maybe just wants her 15 seconds of fame.

The student who is ranked first on internals is given a moderated assessment mark equal to the highest exam mark earned by the same school group.

Nonsense. Moderation does NOT involve reallocating individual exam marks. The highest internal mark will be 92. Your internal will be lower, depending on the size of the gap between first and second on raw internals.

The mandatory group performance must have been a sight to behold.

They do get a certificate. It's called the Higher School Certificate.

Re: 2011 HSC Biology Paper The Board of Studies NSW is currently investigating a multiple-choice question worth one mark from today’s HSC Biology exam. Two of the four answers offered in this question may be correct. If the investigation shows this is the case, one mark will be awarded for...

That is an old form, it is no longer accurate.

The Board of Studies has no power to direct a school to offer particular courses.

Der, that's why they have reading time .....

A computer first attempts to mark the answers. If it detects any problems (two answers, writing outside the boxes etc) it sends the page to a human for marking.

If you miss an exam without a successful illness/misadventure appeal, you don't just get 0, the whole course is wiped from your HSC. If you fall below 10 units, no HSC.
