lol it can definitely happen more than once and bad luck doesn't make sense interms of studies lol everyone should have a fair go :p
I guess having a system that accounts for bad luck would be really hard to achieve

If it happens more than once I really doubt it's bad luck it's either the sick case or fake to me :p

They try to give everyone a fair go. But obviously every education system is flawed in some way or another. Personally though, I reckon the HSC minimised a fair lot of it's flaws

Yeah but best to go get a medical certificate.
Oops, my bad, I meant fill in the appeal WITH the medical certificate.

Because those that don't need it are the ones that are typically excuseable

I learnt geometry by remembering what they 'LOOK LIKE'.

E.g. Alternate angles are Z angles
E.g. Vertically opposite are no sht

Angle sum is a simple formula

But the hard part is similarity. Congruency is easy just remember the 4 acronyms.

Similarity - Watch out for two angles first. But if you can never find two angles, then most likely some sides are in proportion.
VERY RARELY, do they ask you to prove similarity by showing all 3 sides are in proportion. Usually it's two sides in proportion and included angle equal
