    Is it possible to get a band 6 with an internal mark of 75?

    Take a look at this picture. You can see the school assessment shifts up is moderated to fit he results from the HSC exam. If you look closerly the pattern and gaps between the students is relatively consistent between the raw and moderated mark. In this example the lowest raw assessment mark...

    Fishy Ranks

    2 equal firsts is bad. One stuffs up the exam, the highest mark will be scaled to the average of the 2 marks. Could be a disaster.

    Thoughts on the paper?

    Yeah it was input mask, text box, radio button - B Had a better look at the paper. Thought the core was actually pretty good. My class do AMS and it was not great - some really poorly worded q's. MC had some very tough q's too.

He doesn't write the HSC exam but complains at the annual conference about all the questions. Used to...

    Nice - the markers Giz themselves every time someone puts "metadata" in an answer. Youll do well

    General thoughts: Software Design and Development Exam

    You should be OK with all that. Open file for read\write\append is a little more correct. Had a look at the data stream question. A really wordy and overly complex scenario with no mention of the header\trailer contents, then the first question is about header \trailer. The question was then...
