I'd say it's worth it if you're rather sure that there must be some mistake. I have applied for this to be done in Chemistry because I came out of that exam feeling like I'd blitzed it, completely; like surely above 90... Even if there is no mark change, ah well - I must really suck then.I was just wondering if anyone has used this before and knows how long it takes and how often they change marks - ie is it worth doing?
thanks![]()
righto, I might put one in then - I expected a fair bit higher in mx2 and physics and I suppose it can't hurt (unless they can take marks away? hmm)I'd say it's worth it if you're rather sure that there must be some mistake.

From what I read, they won't take away marks - only add them on if applicable.righto, I might put one in then - I expected a fair bit higher in mx2 and physics and I suppose it can't hurt (unless they can take marks away? hmm)
With the chem, just so you know, I got 91 and I'd say my raw mark was between 80 and 90% (I didn't even attempt the last 7 mark question) so if you feel you got about that or a bit higher you've probably got a good chance of gaining some extra marks
oh and well done with the atar!
From UAC:From what I read, they won't take away marks - only add them on if applicable.
I might do it for my subjects in which I was close to a Band 6 - like English (Adv) which was 87 and especially English Extension 1 - which was 44/50.
If they retool HSC marks, does that mean I get a different ATAR though?
Thank you, and I did feel as though I had done great in the exam and thought I blitzed the option topic as well; perhaps they lost a section of my exam or something. My Extension 2 mark was horrendous, but I knew it would suffer, just not that badly... :\righto, I might put one in then - I expected a fair bit higher in mx2 and physics and I suppose it can't hurt (unless they can take marks away? hmm)

That's correct, and read that today.From UAC:
Can I have my ATAR recalculated?
Generally speaking no, but there are some instances where your ATAR will be recalculated:
if the Board of Studies provides amended HSC results
if you complete additional courses
if you repeat courses you've already completed.
