    "N Award" bullcrap.

    Principals may allow a student who has received an ‘N’ determination in a Preliminary course to proceed to the HSC course provisionally while concurrently satisfying any outstanding Preliminary course requirements. Principals will be required to confirm, at the time of HSC entries, that the...

    It will depend on the highest exam mark earned by the class. If that mark is "m", then your mark will be (11m + 400)/15 For example, if the highest exam mark is 92, your mark will (11x92 + 400)/15 = 94

    The student ranked second has their assessment mark set to be the same as the highest exam mark in your class. Then your assessment mark is slotted in with an appropriate gap above that student. The size of the gap depends on how far you were above that student. Since you were sick, that asst...

    ranking question....

    Your internal assessmernt is moderated to 90. The mark of 95 is only "valid" within your school. It is like school dollars that have to be converted to HSC dollars.

    White out tape usage

    More and more answers are now being marked online (on a computer). When the answer books are scanned and digitised, it is likely that the scanner can read what is under the correcting fluid. So what the marker sees is a jumble of the new on top of the old, making it difficult/impossible to read...

    White out tape usage

    It's "banned" in the sense that it is not on the list of authorised equipment. You should always leave every piece of work visible to the markers. Even though you think it is rubbish, it may still earn marks. If you really want to replace something, draw a line through it but leave it...

    You cannot be awarded IM just on Paper 2. It is considered for the whole of English. You CANNOT lose with an IM appeal. If you bombout on the exam, you will get your asst. If you do well on the exam, you will keep it. ANYONE who truly believes they were sick for an exam, and who has med...

    Correct. If IM is accepted then nothing from either exam will count (if total is lower than asst). And by asst I mean moderated asst, based on cohort exam marks and your rank.
