    URGENT help with the assessment hsc mark

    An appeal about assessment marks should have occurred first at the school level, if there were abnormalities during that process. Then you could check if they placed the school mark correctly on the Board site

    who else is surprised with chem and phys?

    Your school with have these but still around 8% of the state had Band 6 in Physics and 26% Band 5. The questions all appeared reasonable but there were lots of twists and expectations of precise terminology that may have reduced marks, Chemistry had an increase in Band 6s this year by about...

    Misadventure/Marks

    The time between the task and any appeal will go against you. Any appeals normally have to be done within about a week to 10 days. They will argue you should have appealed at the time, not waiting to see your result.

    HSC Physics Questin Help 2003

    Pwnage101 haas just made one of the mistakes they were looking for. You can't measure current with a voltmeter, so if you used a voltmeter, you automatically didn't gain full marks. Exact explanations on how the independent variable was changed, controls etc also were required

    2009 Raw marks.

    There is a number of things under discussion with typing. It probably will not be for all subjects. Last I heard it will be an option and you will take responsibility if your computer crashes during the exam.

    Depending on the stage of marking. In general the paper will be taken back to the original marker and asked why they discuss why. Depending on the justification the mark may or may not be changed. In the final stages of marking, generally the SMs mark will be used due to time. Two major...

    Torque Question Calculation 2009 HSC

    Remember to only use one half of the coil as it is a single pole and not across the whole coil. A better way to do this is a force balance on the side.

    Was that a Maths exam?

    As I said the interpretation is in the marking schemes. An equated value but not calculated is taken as a correct value, if there is some value written, even if it is incorrect. If the marking guidelines were taken literally as people are here, then in you had part a wrong, then carry over...

    Was that a Maths exam?

    Most times it means correct substitution, a value but the value doesn't have to be correct.

    Was that a Maths exam?

    Which meant correct substitution because a correctly substituted formula, with the letter as the subject is taken as a number I'm finding it very funny about the questions you are quoting. Just clarifying Physics is one of the subjects that has a marking scheme and a marking guideline. The...

    Was that a Maths exam?

    In my time marking, i wouldn't need one hand to see when it was marked on the final answer rather than substitution. I have seen more cases of where the right answer has been given zero without working than being marked wrong on a calculator error.

    Was that a Maths exam?

    The other thing is with 17a, is that a range of numbers were accepted as the correct value. There wasn't one specificc value looked for.
