Hi
My Teachers at school always say, you have to be short and concise other wise you will lose marks (sciences). For the next exams coming up for physics and chemistry, the person making it said if you go over the lines by more than double you will lose a mark. He said he made the marking criteria like that. Is that allowed? In the HSC you dont lose marks for this. I asked 4 state rankers and they all said they went pages over. I generally always go over by quite a bit since i write fairly big and for Evaluate assess discuss verbs i generally pack a lot of info. If i lose marks in the coming up tests, and if the teacher doesn't budge am i allowed to go see the principle or something, cause the marking is HSC Standard?
On another note, are they allowed to make up stupid marking criteria? e.g. what type of reaction does hydrogenation represent and write a balanced equation 2 marks. I wrote addition reaction and a normal equation. But i only got 1 mark, because the marking criteria stated i also needed a structural equation EVEN though it didn't say it in the question.
Are they allowed to do that?
Thanks!
