does any1 know how much notice must be given b4 an assessment going towards prelim grades and if it must be in writing

 

[rhapsodic]

at my school, the notice was (usually) given 2 weeks in advance, in writing

2 weeks is the policy, sometimes u get a lil lucky and get a month but 2 weeks with a typed page explaining all possible details is issued

As far as I am ware, the 2 weeks notice is only legally required for the HSC. For preliminary you could hypothetically be notified of the task on the day.

pretty sure its 2 weeks... but yeah i dont think they HAVE to, its just the way it is. if u get more u must be really lucky, coz u gotta get lotsa assessments done in a relatively short space of time, so unless its an extended research project that u could reasonably expect to take more than a fortnight, then 2 weeks is the norm 2 make sure it all gets done. u should have a schedule saying when they're due anyway, so u can prepare a little before the task is set officially.

It must be in writing, 2 weeks before the assessment takes place. However if it is a research assignment, the school might notify you 6-8 weeks prior the due date.

I had that moron for physics in Year 11, and she insisted the rule is 1 week. So everytime when had a topic test coming up, she would handed out that pathetic little paper telling us 'Yo you had a test next week in class'. The school actually printed out an assessment guide which said at least 2 weeks notice must be given, but she insisted 1 week is the norm.

its meant 2 be 2 weeks
although sometimes they may give less

For specific due dates or examination times for most cases:

Upcoming school internal assesments - Up to 2 weeks notification
Upcoming Board of Studies external assessments - Up to 1 year notification

^ You mean "at least", and that is only for year 12, not year 11.

Some faculties at our school have assessment booklets, so we get everything at the start of the yr.
