Good question sando, I was also wondering that. What would they do with the scaling?

OTEN's HSC department = a TAFE HSC department = a school. They would scale by the exact same rules as every other school and TAFE that runs the HSC. The only difference is the delivery. Syllabus, scaling, allignment and examination is the same process as for everyone else.

The only disadvantage that I see is that you don't have anyone else to compare your assessment results, but it doesn't really matter, I guess you just try your best in all your assessments.

Do you still get assessments from each subject that you have to hand in on a set date just like in the normal HSC? How does it work?

I get three assessments per subject - two open book and one exam. And for the HSC exams themselves, I go to a TAFE college or school to sit for them.

hey 'Pink Butterfly', what is ur goal for the HSC and UAI and dont u find it hard juggling a part time job and no social life from skool

I would love to get about 85 for my UAI (which I have choosen that part of the course to get) and hopefully get into teaching (maybe TAFE teacher or something - probably not school).
I found it harder socialising when I am meant to be studying - thats why I never did so well at school - all those distractions. I get a social life at work and I still have friends from school and stuff - who are just as busy as I and we still find time to hang out and stuff.

Scaling and stuff are the same. I think the main advantage of doing the HSC through OTEN, is the fact that the marjority of teachers are all ex-HSC-markers.
