Marking guidelines for 2009 exams (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know when the marking guidelines for the 2009 HSC exams will be released on the Board of Studies website? What time have they been released in the past?

It varies slightly from year to year. They are usually added progressively and could start appearing anytime.

I remmeber accessing them by about half way through Term 1 in 2008.

We should've had someone FOI the marking schemes too, so we'd have them by now, but alas, that costs money...

Aren't they released online, anyway? I always thought they were.

Damn. I sent my FOI application in on Friday for my raw marks, etc ....

No, they are marking guidelines.

They are released online, but if someone had applied for them say around the end of November, we'd have them all by now instead of having to wait until the BOS chooses to put them up.

jm01: I believe pursuant to the Ombudsman's recommendations, they have begun releasing marking schemes as the published marking guidelines.

Marking schemes can include a few more details such as example answers and more points to look out for. If you read the Ombudsman's report it explains it all.

Hmm okay... Well do you think I could "update" my FOI request? I received a reply today confirming my application from Steven Parks.

Not much point at this stage, by the time you get your response there's a fair chance they'll be posted up officially anyway.
