I was sick for the three days of my trials. My doctors certificate lasted three days, so i missed one exam but i sat the second two, because i wanted to get them over with and i thought it would be too much hassle to resit them later and i also wanted to do the same exam as all the others in my year, and not have to sit a different exam.
This was a big mistake because my first exam was English Adv. Paper 2, which is my hardest exam. I felt that i performed very badly, i didnt write well or write enough and i put all my energy into the first task and flunked the other two. Straight after I went to my teachers and said: Look, I don't think i performed to my potential, please can this exam not count, or can i get the better mark of either my exam or my last assessment mark.
They said they would take into consideration my Doctors Cert, but obviously they didnt because two of the tasks i got back were well below my average.
It also means i was only a few marks off ranking high in these exams, although its being really snobby and picky of me, i wonder wat sort of action i should take, i COULD appeal but seeing as i already had a certificate, do i need to officially? and it may be too late now, because its been more than two weeks since i sat it but i dont want these marks to drag me down! They are not my best performance and i was clearly affected by my sickness (which was a really bad chest infection/cough etc...)
Maybe im being to mark obssesed (but u have to be in HSC) and maybe its just a consequence because i sat it and i shoudnt have. But its not like i saw the mark and tried to complain, i told the teachers straight away that i didnt think i performed to my potential, and the marks show that.
Do i really need to officially appeal, or coz its just a trial can the teachers just give me an average?
