but isnt it just giving more than the question asked for? Like if they asked for 1 technique i'd probably slip an extra one in there just to make sure i got the mark. I mean the question asked for ONE text, so you gave them ONE then if added another one isnt that just more info?

That is exactly what I thought in the exam. It's like for business studies. You use case studies to support your answer. It doesn't hurt to put an extra case study in. During the English exam, I was thinking of doing one. But I was like "What the hell... might as well do two. It won't hurt". But apparently it will potentially hurt my ATAR.

my poor ATAR -oo-

It said ONE related text. If you used two, you should only be marked for the first one you used, and - therefore - your essay is shortened.
yeah well u cheated so u should get zero

and sophie ur a guillible tool, ur teacher marks school essays and tells u that, but the hsc aint like school markers

my teacher is head maker of modB so always knew they were gonna read both (since my second was better focused on the question)

WHAT
THE
HELL

So the BOS has decided to reward ignorant idiots who can't read the question? I bet this is all because of the prissy top-20 schools having hissy fits for their idiot students who wrote 2 supps but will commit suicide if they get less than 95% the retards.

lol i doubt it

bos cannot explicitly penalize students for having 2related texts due to positive marking. i think thats what the OP is going on about.

what i think will happen though is that the marker would expect a greater amount of depth in the related texts portion of the essay relative to past years. thus while people who did 2 wont be marked down, they most probably lack depth in comparison to the higher depth analytical potential of working with one related and as a result will not get the marks their essay would get if the q asked for 2 related.


WHOS WANTS TO COME AND EGG BOS WITH ME??? lol

wtf is wrong with you? if you dont like people discussing it, then leave
Its a 10 page thread about the BOS changing marking criteria which is based on the honesty of one poster who is trollin' everyone here badly. Even if it is true, what the hell is complaining gonna do about it? Just move on, English is over forever, be happy.

And no, I wrote one text, because my comprehension skills are higher than a 2nd grade level.

Retarded people getting rewarded for being retards. This is the HSC, not special ed FFS. This is gay.

I agree. Stupid idiots that cant read should be penalised, even in chem you get penalised for brain dumping....

Maybe the teacher only told you that so you guys stop worrying about losing marks and fuck up ur other exams, you would get penalised for not reading or ansswering the question.

If this entire thread is based on a lie (which it MOST LIKELY is), you'll feel like a dumbshit for wasting your time while you could be doing something more productive.

There are two types of people here:

1) People complaining about the original poster's comment (if it is true) and discussing the issue
2) People complaining about the people who are complaining (aka you)

Aren't you technically wasting your time by being here also?

This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. I have resigned to the board of studies' bipolar inconsistancy. I think the actual office is just full of pelicans in one big room with all the papers. The amount of times the pelicans dump on your paper is what band you recieve. If you're really lucky, and went into your exam loaded up with four leaf clovers and rabbit feet, the Golden Pelican, which they artifically manipulate (is it still a human?) to create golden turds, will dump on your paper, and you get a state rank.

From what I've seen over the last two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that this is they only logical way they operate in relation to marking.




















(time wasting finished)























(who am I kidding, I'll sit here and keep reading)
