Losing 10% if you stay home a day before an exam? (1 Viewer)

My school doesn't have this policy but I wish they did. It seems to be more fair; everyone gets an equal amount of time to prepare.

Tomorrow is the day before English is due, cannot wait to see how many people are away.

So are you all saying that this policy is true?

How about in regards to skipping classes?

You are required to complete a certain number of hours per subject, so skipping could result in an N Award.

The unprepared nature of our "Lower ability" standard cohort will inevitably result in several students do an all nighter to simply get an 8/15.

You sure?

I thought you only had to do enough hours so that the principal was satisfied that you completed all outcomes. Because when I accelerated 2U last year I literally didn't attend any classes, not one.

Our school doesn't seem to have a policy anything like this, apart from the need to have a doctor's certificate if you are away on the day an assessment is due.

TBH a lot of people have it easy. I wake up at 5:30AM to school and come back at 5 - 5:30PM. Essentially 12 hours that I'm out.

I moved to my current area last year in December, and from what I know, you can't swap schools after the beginning of the HSC course.

That's why I said you 'could' be N awarded as its up to the teacher/whoever is in charge at your school to decide. It really depends on the student and teacher. You can actually be N awarded simply for not putting in "diligence and sustained" but like I said it comes down to the student and teacher/authority.

Dude that sucks ...

I know for a fact my school doesn't care if you stay home a day before an assessment or HSC exam. In fact, they encourage it. It gives the last-minute procrastinating students a time to scrap together some marks.

Your school schedule seems extremely overkill ...

This is my school timetable: (I'm going for an ATAR btw)
Monday: 8:30 - 12:45
Tuesday: 8:30 - 12:45
Wednesday: 8:30 - 12:15
Thursday: 8:30 - 2:30
Friday: 9:45 - 2:30

I'm also on top of every class and ranked in the top 5 of my school.

Yay for Public Schooling ...

Moral of my bragging story ..
Public Schools > Private Schools

If you are top 5 in your school, then why are you aiming an estimating a low 70's ATAR? What would your school rank be. At least aim for a 90.

What an unfortunate typo.

My school's policy on absence on the day before is ZERO for the task, unless you get a doctor's certificate. This is the school day before, so if the task is on Monday and you are away on Fri, zero.

I think the policy is as long as you complete the minimum hours needed for the course and the school signs you off on that, the BOS doesn't give a toss.
