Again - that depends on the school. There is no way that any teacher, other than PE, at my school would be allowed to wear anything like jeans. Our Art and Music teachers are expected to dress to the same standard as the rest of the school. PE teachers are allowed to wear sports clothes - but...

That will depend on the school as schools often have 'dress codes' for their staff. My school insists on enclosed shoes for all staff - including females as well as low heels. Not all schools do the same. If you are pracing in a private school professional dress will be more likely to be...

They release the cut-offs after the offers have been made as until they have made the offers they don't know. The cut-offs are determined first but after the offers are made e.g. if there are 100 places in a course and last year the 100th person had an atar of 89.5then the cut-off released was...

One of the reasons for the length of time is that they have to manually collect your papers and check that every section that was attempted was actually marked. Adding up all the recorded marks is only part of the exercise. That can be done via computer but going through each section of each...

They will. If there is nothing to indicate that you have had a successful misadventure application it doesn't mean that it wasn't. When they have completed the marking process they will determine whether you would be better off with the misadventure - that is using just your school moderated...

All papers are sent to wherever the papers are sent. IF they are still marked in a centre it is possible that different parts of the paper go to different places e.g. there have been times when one section of the English papers were marked outside the Sydney Metropolitan area such as Bathurst...

Even when my school was ranked in the 500s (where it was for about 4 years in the mid-2000s) we usually had someone over 98 and even over 99. As a school now around the 150 - 300 ranks (now seems to vary across that range annually) we get someone over 99 most years.

Most markers are teachers themselves and want to give marks as they would like other markers to give their students marks.

You have three booklets for the same response - right? So IF this section is still marked at a centre all three booklets will end up with the one marker as one response. IF this section is online marked it will probably be scanned as one response but if not when the computer comes to putting...

Did you do Ancient in Year 11 - if not then you can't change into it as you have to do the Preliminary. If you did then it is possible to catch up. Your teacher should arrange a make up assessment task for you or will have to come to some agreement on how to allocate your assessment marks to be...

It doesn't 'defeat the purpose of a written exam' for the simple reason that the students still write the same type of answers. All that is different is that the markers are looking at a screen rather than the student's booklets. The marking criteria and other processes are the same - certainly...

The last three would be largely out as the are major parts of the Modern History syllabus - especially as Trotsky is one of the personalities for the course and you are not allowed to do a topic that 'significantly overlaps any examinable syllabus' even if your school doesn't teach that topic.

If you have a satisfactory excuse then you will still be given a mark. If you choose to simply not turn up then you get zero (and it does appear on your HSC record - have had students do that, particularly with their final exam and simply decide they can't be bothered to do another exam...

There would be no load, really to carry it for the rest of this term and then decide to drop it if the result that comes out in December aren't what you want or need but ... remember if you repeat then next year's result is what will count even if lower than this year's.

It will be fine. When the marker marking the section gets to the part that clearly isn't theirs (assuming different markers for different sections of the one question - and that isn't necessarily the case anyway) they will send a message to their SM who will chase it up and ensure that the...

On the HSC results it will show up as a zero so anytime you have to present the actual results you could be asked to explain why you have a zero for a course which could impact you in a number of ways - or not at all depending on what you do with the marks. You won't affect your cohort because...

School rank is not official so any sites creating such a list is doing so using their own criteria e.g. number of Band 6s or percentage of Band 6s or using only number in English and Maths etc.

I have known of at least three of these situations and in each case the principal was contacted - to give character evidence on behalf of the student.

Feedback - as in what the marker thought - no - because marker/s aren't required to explain why they gave the mark they did. Marks yes.

There are currently reviews going on for proposed new courses for English, Maths, the Sciences and Histories for Preliminary and HSC (I am going to such a meeting tomorrow for the Histories). That suggests new courses getting approval some time next year with them signed off then for...
