    Extremely concerned about assessment marks

    get where? what are you aiming for? how is your school ranked? those marks alone at a good school aren't bad.. ps. someone should write a general response and sticky it to help out all these people. There seems to have been a massive influx of these types of posts lately.

    People who continue to write after time's up.

    honesty must play a role in it. Most people are deperate to finish but their honesty is what lets them accept that time is up and stop writing. maybe honesty isnt the best word though.

    Should I move up to 2u mathematics from general?

    sorry to hear :( :) TRUTH!! scaling is designed to 'not give a students an advantage nor a disdavantage from choosing a certain course'. It is designed to let students pick courses they are good at.
