P.I.P marks (2 Viewers)

[Jaded Cynic]

hey all. I was wondering if we ever end up knowing our pip mark? I've heard two different answers and so I hoped someone on here would know the answer. I know we dont get feedback, but do we at least get some indication of how we went in it?

You never receive your PIP mark back.. people often say they can figure out how they went when they get their HSC mark, but it's never disclosed to you personally. You might be able to get a rough guesstimate by judging your HSC mark compared to how you think you went in the exam. I've heard something in the grapevine about a formula (?) but I've never actually seen it or had anyone explain to me what it's all about.

are you serious?? argh! how stupid....all want is my mark

i only wanted the mark!

Apparently your school can calculate your mark for you because they get sent this thing which tells them how much of your HSC mark came from your PIP. Well our school does it anyway. Happens around April/May.

Our teacher always told us we could never find out our marks, but apparently a girl that went to my school last year figured out that you can get the mark but you have to pay for it. Im not sure how much though.

That's the thing I've heard about before - but maybe schools have to apply for it?? My school has never received anything like that before

I've also hear of this formula thing, my teacher told me about it, so it seems like there's a real possibility that we can get our individual pip marks.

there had better be a way!! lol

 

[sugar_plum]

there is a formula
you can also pay for it

 

[:kaz.n:]

Ohh how much do you pay though?

 

[pig_93]

according to the FOI act we SHOULD be allowed to get them!
i swear we should sign a petition or something. its not fair to spend that long on something and put ur little heart into it, and then never get ur marks back. not fair!

i spose u could estimate, but u would never ever actually know.
does anyone know exactly how to get the marks for them??

 

[white_spazzy]

yes i agree...if someone knows how to figure out the mark let us know!!
i didnt do all that work for nothing.

for those who are lucky enough to get a band 6 (and do find out) when is this happening?

even trying to estimate your Pip mark in the formula stated will not work as the only way to estimate your Hsc marks is from past exams, but your teacher may mark harder or easier, you may have done better or crap. So you never do know
