    Aligned Mark?

    A) All schools have their own copies of the standards packages. You should be able to access them free of charge. Speak with your curriculum coordinator or director of studies. B) Not feasible at this stage.

    important question about ranking/aligning

    No, your moderated assessment mark would be close to 98. It doesn't matter who scores the top marks in the HSC exam, so long as someone does.

    Negligence

    It doesn't have to cause physical harm, if other kinds of harm were foreseeable; e.g. nervous shock resulting from a failed operation. Nervous shock is generally recoverable if the harm can be classified as some kind of psychological disorder (e.g. manic depression). But damages can't be...

    No, no he didn't... but it's still possible to get 99.95 or even 100 if you are doing it. :)

    golden key?

    I joined at the end of my first year and haven't received anything except a nice certificate and enamel pin. Hardly worthwhile, but I guess it does look nice on your resume.

    question about Scaling and Moderation

    It'd depend on the rank that corresponded to your raw school assessment mark. If you topped the internal assessments, your final HSC mark would be 90. If you were ranked around the middle of your class, your final HSC mark would roughly be the average of 90 and the average exam mark for your...

    is there legal backing to this thing?

    They were good. ;) And, well, I think it's a bit late to address your novus point, but it would be better characterised as a coincidence, rather than the voluntary act of some deity (I think the trial judge would find, on the balance of probabilities, that the evidence of said deity would be...

    is there legal backing to this thing?

    I suppose it's possible that there's a 16th century case out there where demonic possession might have been argued... but I think that even if it had been, the person would have probably been burned to death anyway. :P In fact I think there's still a statute in England or Scotland which...

    Negligence

    In brief, the defences are volenti non fit injuria (the plaintiff voluntarily consented to the risk) and contributory negligence (the plaintiff was at least partially at fault). Vicarious liability (the plaintiff was acting within the course of their employment and hence it is actually their...

    How I got....30?

    Uhh, I might point out that SAM wasn't created until this year... Any students from previous years obviously couldn't have used it during their HSC. Links to other comparisons have already been provided.

    Marks inputted into sam

    Aligned marks are the figures you'll receive from the Board of Studies on your Record of Achievement. They report your performance according to the standards for each course. All students initially receive these marks. They're also not comparable to your internal school assessment marks. The...
