My teacher marks hsc and he's the laziest guy i know....
So is my English teacher. But they risk their jobs if they actually f*** up the HSC marking process, as opposed to accidents which you just buy the remark service

You can pay for a remark if you think they've stuffed something up.
I don't think there is a remark service. I know there is a recount service but I don't think they can remark your paper.

If I think about it when I bought 3U last year it did say "recount". But for some reason people mistakenly believe it to be "remark" and I seem to have gone with the trend.

I'm not sure honestly. But I know for sure there is a recheck service, whether that includes marking the actual paper again as opposed to just counting marks + checking for missed pages, I dunno.

Someone in another thread recently said their friend got an unusually low HSC mark and got it rechecked. They had missed a whole page or booklet or something, they then changed her mark and her ATAR.

Gonna 1-up this. One of my teacher's ex-student bought a remark service. Found an extra mark in MX1 and that bumped the ATAR so much for just one mark.

You cannot pay to get your papers remarked

It costs $16 per subject for them to re-check if they added up all the marks correctly

For English in particular, it costs double ($30)

My school has done the same! It is pretty daunting with the big hall but now I turn up to the exam with an energy drink and then I know that I am going to dominate!

In exams, I write around 1000 words in 3 pages (even when i write big, my words are still squashed together). Meaning my essays only take up 3 pages. I have had teachers tell me I didn't write enough before because of this. Will HSC markers think this too?

When linking the two texts together with a idea e.g. body paragraph 1 on tempest and idea 1 and body paragraph 2 on related and idea 1. Where do we make our integration and link between the two texts? Would you do it in a third and short paragraph or after the body?

I actually went and restocked on caffeine pills today to get me through the HSC exams.

Nah same, they even do the whole 'no talking until all papers are collected', 'all phones in boxes or in your bags, if it goes off, ZERO'

my school even outsources a group of ladies to be in the hall for every exam (internal exams) so theres no teachers.. i think the ladies are from bostes and they collect the papers and deal with everything in the examination hall...
