Yeah, but for some people - it's an extra month of hell.

For others it's time flying by really fast, and the stress levels keep rising :eek:

I like doing exams better as it is easier to argue for marks in exams!

Wow, I feel almost ashamed to admit I have never argued a mark before...

Exams.

History = BS your way through the test, or memorise stuff.
Not in the case of History Extension :)

SAC is for the VCE by the way.

Rule of thumb for haggling: I only haggle when there has been a counting error in terms of marks. Once upon a time, a teacher miscounted my exam and he/she missed out on 20 marks (the test was out of 100).

If there's been a mistake regarding working out where I think I should've received more marks - I don't argue. What comes around, goes around, I guess. :)

Oh I see. Yeah I think that'll be my policy :D (except that none of my teachers have ever miscounted my exam so it hasn't come up).

I've been lucky before. I once did a simple question wrong with working out. He crossed it and wrote 1/2 (it was worth 1 mark). But somehow, the teacher marking it managed to count it was 2 marks. :)
