Yeah idk, but I do know from seeing marking criteria and everything that they won’t be unreasonable. Plus, at least two markers mark your work and if there’s a large enough discrepancy a third marker comes in to mark it (otherwise it’s just the average I think, but don’t quote me on that).
That being said, I got a high band 5 in chem (89 😭) so yeah, they might still be a bit harsher than I thought lol (but then they’re harsher on everybody).
It's not fair when I had to sit a makeup exam though since I was sick. They gave me acetic acid rather than HCl, along with that, they didn't even give me the formula for acetic acid. They still penalized all but one mark for that question just for not including a balanced chemical equation, causing my internals to be greatly affected.

That’s really annoying but as long as you aren’t too far behind the first rank then alignment won’t negatively affect you that much?
