No, I'm afraid you are wrong. There is no provision to re-mark any HSC examination. With their results, students receive a clerical recheck application. This is a check that the marks awarded by the markers have been correctly added together and entered into the computer. Nothing is ever...

It's already been explained above that only extended responses are double marked. The allowed tolerance is 1/3 of the mark range. So if the maximum mark is 15, the allowed tolerance is 5. If the two markers award the student 9 and 13 (difference less than 5) then the simple average (11) is...

The single marked courses are Maths (all courses), Sciences (all courses), Software Design, IP&T. But in all those subjects the marks are monitored by senior markers who make spot checks on each marker to ensure they are marking accurately.

This point needs some clarification. Questions are either single marked or double marked, depending on the complexity and maximum mark value of the question, or whether the answer is objective (like Maths and Science). If a question is double marked, then EVERY response is double marked...

Yes, that is just a myth!

DON'T TRY THIS! It is a breach of exam rules, which state: During reading time, you must not write, use any equipment including highlighters, or annotate your exam paper in any way. You are likely to get busted and risk the loss of your course.

HSC rules state that you must not eat in the examination room except as approved by the presiding officer, eg for diabetic students. Small sweets may be tolerated, but make sure you check first. See page 15 of http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/hsc-rules-procedures-09.pdf

People are confusing an N award (N determination) with warning letters. You get a warning letter sent home if you miss an assessment task or don't engage with the class activities. Get two warning letters in the same course and the Principal is entitled to give you an N determination at the...

They could send you an Anna-gram! Nu Age Nanny

This thread is full of nonsense. UAC does not even know if you take a course at an outside school like OHS.

Re: HSC Exam Timetable That's nothing, some ppl have 2 exams at the same time! They do 1 exam in the a.m., then get supervised at lunch, then do the other one in the p.m. Anyway it could be a lot worse -- in Victoria they have 3 exam sessions each day...

Re: HSC Exam Timetable I think you will have all your exams in the first two weeks. Let's see ...

Those sneaky study guides, when they get together they will hide themselves ANYWHERE.

According to the Rules and Procedures you must write your examination centre number and student number on all writing booklets, special answer books and answer sheets during the examination. The only reason you are asked to write your numbers on every page is in the very unlikely event that...

No, it's called "special provisions".

Re: When do we get our timetable for the HSC? 1 May - see http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/events/pdf_doc/hsc-event-timetable-2009.pdf]

Group misadventure is pointless within one school. If the BOS upholds a group misadventure appeal (eg the roof blows off the hall) and disadvantage is proved, then every student's mark is increased by the same amount. There is NO POINT increasing every student in an assessment task, as the rank...

That rule only applies to Preliminary. Board of Studies rules: In the Preliminary study pattern, Senior Science cannot be studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science or Physics. In the HSC study pattern Senior Science can be studied in combination with...
