hear me out guys.

i did my chemistry CSSA paper the other day.

n the school told me that my trial paper + 2 other guys trial papers were missing

for the chemistry trials.

i mean.. how can a school be so irresponsible ..

now they r making me sit another replacement exam.

but.. only 3 ppls whose paper was lost will sit the replacement exam.

they said something about nominating control group and allocate my marks within.. but i dno. sounds unfair to me

i really did gud in mah chemistry exam.

any opinions guys?

Wow thats crap. But I guess its something we have to live with and doesnt happen all that often.

Ask for an estimate based on your previous/later ranks if that sounds good to you. Or you will just have to do what the school asks.

That sucks man, terrible on their behalf, but i guess re sitting a new exam is the only real option.

Making as well as 3 other people sit a 2nd exam is unfair. This 2nd exam cannot be compared with the original exam. If I were the school I'd be making the whole cohort resit the exam. At leas that way everyone is in the same boat and everything will turn out fair.

Sounds like the trials were stolen rather than misplaced...

At my school they are really careful to make sure that the number of copies they printed matches the number of papers they take with them into the examination room - a good two minutes was spent at the start of each of my exams double checking those numbers.

Although it hasn't happyed before, I'd assume that if there were papers missing from the bundle the whole exam would have to be postponed and a new paper written.

My Journeys Essay for Trial's was "misplaced" or lost before the teachers even marked it... now they're looking around for it, and if they cant find it by mid next week then they're just going to make a mark up for me based upon all my performance in the rest of the English Exam and throughout the year.

It's not really fair... I studied really hard for that essay and I walked out feeling like I did really well in it...

I dont know how they can misplace one essay that was 6 pages long.

For history x i wrote 24 pages in my half yearly.
12 on each section

my history x teacher left a huge fucking bunch of papers in the motel room he was staying at over the break in which he marked them, and realised when he got home.

luckilly, the cleaning staff recognised they were important, forwarded it to the front desk, and heeee had to drive back and get them.

so, you'd be suprised. size is not an issue.

Theres no easy way to fix the problem. You should either get an estimated mark based upon your other assessments, or if you think you done good in the paper, be allowed to sit another paper of similar diffucuilty.

So that I could just get an estimation for MX1...

A whole bunch of trial exams were lost last year in my school.
I'm pretty sure someone got fired for it...
HA

In yr 11, i took my french exam out of the exam hall with me and filled it out at home.

The next day, i left it in the exam hall and ran away

I recieved my test back 2 weeks later with full marks for 80% of the paper.. the last page had "mysteriously" been torn off :S

I soon after dropped french.,

You should have got 0, not 80%.
