    I know someone who got busted for cheating in the hsc

    Yeah I know, however they constantly remind students to not cheat because that one single exam counts 50% to your overall mark. You get 0 for that, you might as well get a 0 in the entire subject.

    Where do HSC examiners come from

    HSC examiners - I think they can be anyone (teacher blah blah) not too sure though. People who set exams are unable to teach that subject for the year. For 4u maths, I was told that the exams were made by Uni professors. (not to sure if correct though)

    General Thoughts: Economics

    What do you think you'll get? Raw marks don't fluctuate significantly. Even if paper is harder or easier they will only be either increased or decreased by 1 or 2 marks.
