I only applied for my raw marks in English Advanced, Maths Extension 1 and Geography.
I didn't do that well, but I'm still pleased with my results.
English Advanced:
Reading 10/15
Creative Writing 13/15
Belonging Essay (The Simple Gift) 13/15
Paper 1: 36/45 (or 32/40)
FrankenRunner 14.5/20
Speeches 12.5/20 (FML Suu Kyi)
Julius Caesar 8.5/20 (Lol I only wrote 1.5 pages)
Paper 2: 35.5/60
Total: 71.5/105 or 67.5/100
Raw: 67.5/100 --> Total Weighted: 78/100 (with optional question scaling I'm assuming) --> Exam mark of 85/100
Maths Extension 1:
Raw mark: 65/84 (was aiming for at least 76 -.-)
Exam mark: 93/100
Geography:
Now here is where it gets interesting. I will show my marks then explain the problem.
Multi: 16/20 (FML)
Short Answer: 37/40
Ecosystems at risk: 16/20
Urban Places: 15/20 (I always sucked at long responses)
Raw: 84/100 (This is what happens when I add them up. I have added them up at least 20 times I know I am correct when I say this)
Raw weighted: 79/100
Exam mark: 91/100
Ok now I'm assuming the mark given to us at the bottom of the first page is the raw weighted mark as seen in english adv. But the issue is it just says "Raw Examination Mark: 79/100". I think this is wrong. Of my knowledge Geography does NOT get optional question scaling, your essay marks just stay the same. Even if it did get optional weighting, can't it only go up? I've seen other raw marks from English Adv earlier and that I saw none of the optional scaling went down. But in this case I somehow managed to lose a whopping 5 marks of the total raw mark given to me.
So in my opinion, it looks like the board of studies has given me the wrong raw mark. Their computer has added it up wrong somewhere, and I need more marks. OR. Apparently Geog essays are weighted and they move down ALOT! I mean realistically, I didn't score very high in them, so why would they fluctuate so much?
Anyway I'm going to call the BOS tomorrow, I already tried today, couldn't get through to the right people, then will post back with answers!
