They lose their job and you appeal.

Besides, my short story is 7 on the dot. Yet half of my classmates have stories only 5pg long!

But how would you know though? Ive heard people purchasing their papers back for certain subjects, but im not sure about English.

You can purchase for English as well.

Except, I had a rethink. In the exam, the supervisors have to sign a sheet saying precisely how many booklets you used. If the marker finds the amount of booklets they are supposed to receive inconsistent with that of what the sheet dictated, then they find out something has happened. The sheet is signed by the supervisor in front of you as well so you know they don't lie.

Edit: You have to sign the sheet as well.

Oh yeah I remember that extra sheet signing. I remember it so well now because I was assigned to sit at the back of the room and I had to wait for everyone to confirm their signatures with the supervisors and I was sitting there, needing to go to the toilet desperately, for like 20 minutes.

 

[Kaido]

My short story is much longer than 7 pages what if i get extra and the examiner loses my paper...

The shit that dis guy asks makes u think twice about his maff skills

 

[Flop21]

Don't forget to TICK THE BOX if you use extra booklets. That indicates to the marker to look for the extra booklet and mark it.

The guy who's 2nd to my 1st in 4U maths also wanted to do 4U English, js. The school just didn't offer it.

____
Also, yeah actually what Flop said as well. That box does appear again in the real HSC.

 

[Drsoccerball]

Okay you tick the extra box the marker see's that he cant find your paper so he just ignores it and gives it a mark because it would be to much to deal with... Also the physics booklets are now just questions ? wtf....

[Chris_S]

Am I in trouble if my creative is only 5 pages?!?!?

 

[PhysicsMaths]

The akward moment when you ask the supervisor for an extra writing booklet and they take their time...

 

[RecklessRick]

Yes I can hear the police sirens now

 

[Chris_S]

Lol I mean is it supposed to be longer?

 

[PhysicsMaths]

Not necessarily. All that matters is the extent to which you incorporate the stimulus into your creative + how engaging the piece is to the marker

The BOSTES will take marking very seriously. dw.

That rank reveal tho...

Oops... well it's nothing really my school's ranked in 110s.

 

[PhysicsMaths]

Lol I mean is it supposed to be longer?

Depends on your writing size/ what proportion of each line that you use with your lines / size of gaps between each word

 

[leehuan]

Lol I mean is it supposed to be longer?

A ton of my classmates have 5pg creatives.

 

[Ekman]

That's a decent school rank, it's not just 'nothing really'

 

[leehuan]

I suppose. I felt more proud when we were in the 80s though.

You can pay for a remark if you think they've stuffed something up.
