if you did that... might give you a big fat zero for a non-serious attempt...

...though I'd like to see their response to that XD

I got misadventure for everything. I did all my exams except chem and they used assessment marks for everything but RE. It helped me heaps cos I was in hospital during exams.

I had a misadventure appeal for music. So sick I almost collapsed unconscious onto the piano. Ended up with a B6 from my assessment mark. If they hadn’t upheld the appeal I would never have got a mark anywhere near that, and id be currently contemplating a new career path.
Never mind. *cheers* its over.

i got misadventure for a couple of exams (luckily i didnt need it for the rest), i had swollen tendons in my wrist, which made it excruciating, not to mention much slower, to write....

i feel so sorry for those of you that were seriously ill & hospitalised...it sucks when things go wrong right at the worst possible time

I applied for and got misadventure for both Ancient and Modern History; after coming down with flu-like symptoms [e.g. aches and pains, sore throat, temperature] on the night before my Ancient exam, I then woke up the next morning and not only was in so much pain I couldn't move, but then started vomiting....lots of fun, hey? So I didn't actually sit the Ancient exam. I was still in not terrific shape by the Modern exam, so I applied for misadventure there as well.....

I ended up with 96 for Ancient, and 95 for Modern - I was ranked first internally in Ancient, and 2nd internally for Modern. So it all turned out well, although I think that if I'd sat the Ancient exam [while healthy] I probably could have done better - simply because the paper was easy and I'd prepared for some specific questions in the paper.

-0- Omg Lucky u guys,
i applied for Math Ext 1, because we had to accompany the exam with
pigeons. They were flying around, crying out loud~ (3 pigeons)
But -_- the BOD didn't acknowledge our misadvanture. >0<
The pigeons were so annoying and horrible.
There were only two students(incl. me) in my Math Ext 1 class.

I'm so upset, although my mark wasnt that bad~
I was disadventage, should've received more marks. T_T

Ahahaha!! That happened during our year 11 exams... and this year's wass even worse than pigeons... we had lawn mowers, car horns, and the weird stuffs, you name it. It sucked heaps but we didn't all apply for misadventure unless ill or symptoms of illness.
