    Re: Pompeii and Herculaneum 10 marker

    The 10 marker is double marked and if there is a significant difference between the two marks it will be marked a third time by the SM so having one marker won't be an issue.

  2. Re: Please mark my modern essay on the the final solution

    A question - is this to do with Germany or Conflict in Europe - your dates don't add up.

    If it is to do with Germany then anything after 1939 is irrelevant to the topic as Germany ends in 1939.

    It would be up to the school as the schools set and mark the trial so what they do with the marks is also up to them.

    Re: What would you change about the HSC and why?

    Sounds like 'back to the future' in that up until the early 90s, except for English, the HSC exam did examine two years work and had assessments over two years. Back in the 70s - no assessments, only...
