From my understanding of the HSC, if you have special considerations due to illness or personal problem, you will receive an estimated mark for your HSC. You will not be able to sit the HSC exam at a later day so it is perfectly safe for you to discuss your responses here.

The estimated mark will be based on the assessment rank of a student and the final exam marks achieved by the cohort.

For example,
If a student is ranked 1st in a school, and he is sick. He will receive an estimated exam mark on the basis of how his cohort at his school has performed. If the highest mark acheived in his school was 90, then he may get something like 92 (if his assessment mark was roughly 2 marks ahead of the second ranked person - it doesn't matter if the school awarded 100 to a person ranked first and 98 to a person ranked second).

This logic applies to all other positions of ranking, so how "easy" a school marks their assessment has nothing to do with how they determine the estimated exam mark.

Good news everyone! I've figured out a way to use two different watch / unwatched overlays so now I can add them to the text-based lists. Update soon!
