It happened to a friend of mine. He couldn't do anything about it (though he didn't take it up to bos or anything that i'm aware)

Well, BOS said theres no rules that mandate allocation of exams for half yearlies etc.
The teacher who made the timetable said
"It gives you a more realistic expectation of the HSC, some have 6 hours of exams"

I was thinking... obviously, thats ONLY 2 SUBJECTS..
I have Business, Economics and Visual Arts in one day, and plus a 'realistic expectation' is what the trials are for....

Many students will have 6 hours of exams on the same day in the HSC so there is no rule about the number of hours under 6. There have been times when students have had 3 HSC exams in the one day - one 2 hour and 2 x 1.5 hours for instance (maybe only half a dozen students across the state affected but it does happen).
