They had to submit misadventure appeals. I think it's either marked based off what is already written or more lenient marking taking in to account the "misadventure".

Yes, its mostly empirically derived algorithms using previous years' scaling data. For example, 2019 the scaling was pretty off, so if u were to get an ATAR of say, 99.5, using a particular set of HSC marks with 2018 scaling, in 2019, the exact same marks would get you a 99.1 or 99.05. You see...

I wonder how this year's scaling will look. Hope its better than 2019 😆 .

I think it should. The central hydrogen will see 5 neighboring hydrogens in unique environments. N + 1 rule will produce 6 peaks.

This year's marking for MC is probably going to have multiple answer options as correct for how controversial it is. Reminds me of one of the IPT HSC past papers where the markers basically said for one MCQ "all answers are correct" lol.
