Yep, that's correct. You must sit for, and make a serious attempt, at the relevant examination.

No, unless you are sick (and receive an estimate) the course is cancelled and removed from your HSC.

No. Anyone absent from an exam, either because they are sick or cbf, is removed from assessment moderation

Yes, all absentees are removed from moderation, so there is no impact on the balance of your school course group. A mark of zero is never reported on HSC results. For a 1-unit course like SoR1, only marks of 15 and above are reported. For lower marks, they are reported as <15/50 (or <30/100 for...

Your initial results will show ABSENT (as a check that you really were). On your actual HSC the course will disappear.

Perhaps approached directly by the student but never by bostes.

Since when has "should of" made any sense? You mean "should have".

Sent in by school after principal signs it

Within 7 days of the exam, but the school sends it in not you

For 2014 the rule said "Examination question papers may be removed at the end of the examination only if they are not to be used as answer booklets". The 2015 rule was tightened, as stated above. Too many students were taking multiple choice answer sheets or completed answers out of the...

Obviously, you would also need a dr. to confirm that you were genuinely sick. Although a supervisor may say you looked sick, that is not a medical opinion. If you didnt see a dr. right after the exam, your appeal is prob screwed.

It's always best if you ask the doc to fill out section c of the form which has all the right questions
