really? Nah id ratehr everything be postponed rather than some estimate bullshit. I don't want the same situation as the A Levels last year (a really fucked up estimate system), the SAT last year (the exams were online) or exams in India (cancelled and shit's in limbo)
Cancellation & estimation. Yum.
mate. you do not want that.

I'm not going for a 99.5+ ATAR, unlike yourself...mate. you do not want that.
2020 United Kingdom school exam grading controversy - Wikipedia
it was bad for everyone lmao, not just those aiming highI'm not going for a 99.5+ ATAR, unlike yourself...
Yes, I do want that.
everyone can fail together then
That's the spirit...
I doubt they would decrease them because ATAR's are a rank after all and if everyone collectively does bad, that makes no difference. And esp for competitive degrees like law and med i doubt they will lower ATARs. I think NESA should instead just postopne trials, that would be better
they abolished all governing rules around internal assessments that otherwise exist to give schools flexibility + postponed HSC exams by a week
this time is much worse tho yeah with lockdown, because last year it was only t1/t2 while this is very close to trials and HSC
i see, suppose they dodged a bullet then
well technically it doesn't matter because trials are an internal assessment and what you get in your trial does not affect what I get in my trial. In fact I would see it as an advantage for them b/c they got more time to prepare for HSC w/o the stress of trials that we have
man some teachers think that last year had it worse off because it was in the middle of learning content, thats the most cap shit ever. The stress levels of HSC students rn are off the roofIt hit us instead
wait did you do trials last term !?!?!?!? bruh ugh
yeah tbh for actually learning content lockdown is really annoying and aids. I guess it is a good thing for me that I have basically finished content at school or at tutoring for most of my subjects (and our school left easy topics till after trials), but I am rather worried and concerned as to what's actually happening with trials for me because of how uncertain the whole situation is. My school does trials especially early normally and even when we postponed it, it was earlier than most schools have it rn
Oh congratulations! I still don't get why schools like NSB do trials Term 2, it always confuses me and it seems liek a bad decision. I do think its a good thing we are getting more time to prepare for trials but lockdowns almost certainly have reduced how productive we have been able to be
oh that sucks so much, that sounds like torture. Our school mandates teachers turn their cameras on + we have to have them on if we can so when we have lessons, it does feel much more like a classroom environment which does help quite a bit. Honestly tho nothing replaces irl learning
You reckon? I feel like its better to have Trials like week 5-6 as you get more time to prepare, a decent chunk of time before the HSC and you get to learn all the content beforehand. We have to remember tho that trials is big weighting
