The current HSC allows people to easily come back from bad results, and gives the "once lazy, now working very very hard" i.e. reformed students a chance to get a good ATAR. (this part is probably a bit too skewed) It also award those who are good at rote (bar maths) and taking it seriously only when assignments come up. This is my opinion and I could probably stretch it a bit more, but it's all I can think of right now.Out of curiosity, how many of you wish you could study a continual assessment system (best 3.2 semesters, each semester you are given assignments and exams and you work over the course of 2 years to improve your grades) or instead enjoy the HSC?
I'm an ex-sydney student who took my prelims in sydney, and transferred to Canberra to get higher marks because I thought constant homework was better than one exam that would determine my ATAR. Curious on the inputs of current HSC students.
Also best of luck NSW HSC students from your ACT peers and meshing cohort
Your system rewards already intelligent students, and make improvement throughout the year far less relevant.
