Those are just questions designed to improve your ability to support your arguments (something which is ESSENTIAL in the exams)

If everyone else in your class went just as poorly then it doesn't matter.

Say you have the highest mark in your class and it's 10%, but you are ranked 1st, in the HSC exam you get 98%. Your assessment mark of 10% will become 98% and you will get 98% overall. So worry about your rank rather than your mark, that is the most important.

The next step is to worry about your mark, if you are missing knowledge from the syllabus, marks will generally show you, so the rectify that ASAP...

Um Ziff, he/she is not saying that they got 10% (have a look at the mark dingbat!), they're saying its worth 10%! I seriously laughed out loud.....

No, no, no, I was looking at the bigger picture that if they got 10% overall for their whole assessment mark :p I was replying to their worries that I thought they had based on "do yous think ill be able to build my marks up and still go really good 4 my HSC???". That even if he gets crap marks that it doesn't matter - rank does.

We don't get an assessment that's based solely on Law and Society... we had our Crime one last year - I got 44/50 (was 12% - yes, 12%) but a lot of people got much higher :'(

We have our AP3 in Week 9 which covers Crime and Law and Society together...
