You will presumably be repeating the same courses you did in Year 12 this year so you will do 'make-up' assessment tasks at some point in Term 1 and go from there. When you have finished your HSC exams this year you will return to class straight away.

You can end up with a better final mark than those ranked internally ahead of you. What you can't do is get a better internal mark but if your exam mark is sufficiently higher than theirs then yes you can do better.

At the end of the Year 11 course, just as at the end of the Year 10 course, schools send through a grade - A, B, C, D or E for each student in each subject for the ROSA (Record of School Achievement). In Year 12 marks are sent to BOSTES which are then moderated, and averaged with the aligned...

Send my a PM and I will see if I can send you the papers I have for my class.

Have you asked your teacher for copies of the papers? I make sure that all my students have copies of the past papers because I know that the sources aren't up there. hullybully - you can't create your own questions for the Core in Modern as you have to be able to incorporate and/or analyse...

I suppose it depends on how much you want to be a teacher.

Ranks are important as the marks sent in are moderated to the exam marks and then the 'internal' mark is awarded accordingly. e.g. School 1 sends in the following marks: 99, 95, 91, 90, 88, and 81 School 2 sends in the following marks: 78, 74, 70, 69, 67 and 60. Note that the range of marks...

Depends. If there are say two classes running in Year 11 and there will only be one in Year 12 then yes the teacher can use their professional judgement and the marks to stop a student from continuing but... if there is the same number of classes running - no they can't but ... they can...

Because your parents' income increased and so they aren't eligible for any more assistance so you don't get anything as a result. If your parents' income hadn't increased then you would. The belief is that your parents are able to assist you so you don't need anything extra from the taxpayers of...

No. The marks that are sent in this week will have to come back to school for checking before the end of term. Next term, after ALL HSC exams are finished BOSTES will open up the ranks for you to check and you will have a week or so to check that before it shuts down so that the final process...

You always keep your own exam mark. The top exam mark in the course is given to the top ranked student from the internals as their internal mark. The same thing happens to the last ranked student and the last exam mark (unless there is something really off with that mark). The HSC is the only...

Regarding the question of what would happen if the Jane Eyre essay reached a marker who was marking speeches: The marker, whether still in a marking centre, or at home marking via a computer, would simply hand/send it to their SM for re-assignment. They wouldn't mark it at all. It happens...

1. You sit you school assessment marks which are sent into BOSTES (not a rank but a mark is submitted) 2. You sit the HSC exams. 3. There is a panel at the HSC marking centre who look at the paper and the descriptions of the different bands and determine the raw mark 'cut-offs' for each band...

True - without all that information it isn't possible.

Need marks of you and the rest of your class - without marks can't determine ranks.

Not necessarily. The school can decide to separate you before submitting marks. What they can't do is change the ranks so as the other person had a higher assessment mark the school may decide to send them in as first and you as second, one mark behind, or send you in as equal first. If the...

The form that schools have to fill in requires whole numbers only.

Yes BOSTES gets marks only not ranks. The ranks are determined from the marks sent in from the schools.

Only marks are sent to the BOSTES and whole numbers at that. The marks are then used to determine ranks but the school sends in marks. That way BOSTES has the mark AND the gaps between the marks which are very important.

That difference is called the 'relative gaps' and yes it is important. The 0.3% will be rounded as well as only whole marks are sent into the BOSTES so it is likely that you will be either equal or sent in 1 mark apart depending on what the school decides - ranks or marks - as being the more...
