This is the final version of the timetable. It will not be changed. A handful of students will be permitted to sit certain examinations at other times (under strict security arrangements) in order to accomodate their unique study patterns.

OK, fixed.

The only reason it's frowned upon is because students who deviate from what they've studied in class generally do very poorly! You're allowed to do it, but unless you've studied that topic all year, you're unlikely to do as well.

The top 0.025% of the corresponding School Certificate candidature receive UAIs of 100. This typically equates to around 21 or 22 HSC students. The next 0.05% receive UAIs of 99.95, and so on.

You'll get in easily if you attempt to transfer, ptitsa.

The article is correct. You misquoted it. It states: "The base information for the UAI is your raw HSC marks." Your "raw HSC mark" is the average of your raw examination mark and your moderated assessment mark. Refer to <a href="/other/flowchart.pdf">this flowchart</a>.

I'm just really busy. It's not intentional - sorry.

If he performs significantly worse in the exam than he does in his school assessments, you might be disadvantaged. If he performs the same, it won't matter - even if his current level of performance is quite poor.

Schools are allowed to send in marks with students on the same mark/rank - I don't know why your teacher told you they aren't. It could have just been a policy that was used within your school, to assist students.

This thread is now completely out of date and totally irrelevant - closed.

If teachers are separating tied students, it can actually work in the students' favour. It means that the top moderated assessment mark will be determined by the top examination mark, and not by the average of the top X examination marks (where X is the number of students tied equal-first).

You can't determine the quality of the candidature by just looking at the examination though - it's measured by how the students in that course were placed relative to the rest of the state in all of their courses.

Just one of those perks that come with being an administrator. :)

Hmm. Some people already see me as a bit of a trouble-maker. :P Though I will confirm the comments of Rench and nick. It's also the case that even teachers and tuition centres usually don't really know how the system works. From my experience, if a discussion on the topic arises between a...

Not yet, no.

It's true that the scaling for the combined Standard/Advanced candidature is quite average. But within that, the Advanced students tend to be the ones getting all the high marks.

These details have now become available: 2004 Rechecks: 1784 Changes: 5 2003 Rechecks: 1825 Changes: 14 2002 Rechecks: 1712 Changes: 27 2001 Rechecks: 2257 Changes: 27 If a student sends in a single recheck application for three courses, it counts as three rechecks, not one.

Could one of you actually ask about the criteria when you receive the award, please? :)

Uhm. That's an interesting way of phrasing your question. The short answer is... yes and no. Read this thread.
