someone in my year actually plans to take out misadventure forms for all her subject because she gets 100% in all her assessments (her dad does them) and is really bad at exams.

This is completely unfair!!!!!

do you know of other people that have done this?

Wonder how she's going to cope when the actual HSC starts.

i know, especially private schools. but having a misadventure mean that you are just taking the external exams at another time, not that you can skip them.
No it doesn't - it means that your assessments become your final mark. You don't get to do them later after they are in the public sphere.

It would only be effective if that person went to a high ranked school.

That's where it's happening the most.
Oh how true it is. A plethora of misadventures come from the high-ranked private schools, and they have a lot of backing from the wealthy school boards and parents... often a lot of them can be successful (which is a shame to see since a lot of the claims are utter bullshit).

School capital did that with every exam. Appealled every bad assessment.

Got a relatively good UAI. Much higher than she would have gotten anyway.
if you appeal every exam they cant set a benchmark of your standard performace.

You need at least one assesment where you dont appeal

AND to have approved appeals on almost every assessment is highly unlikely :)
