Division of Marking in Elective Subjects (1 Viewer)

[Plebeian]

Does anyone know what protocol is followed for the marking of subjects which have multiple elective options (eg. English with different focuses for Journey, or Ancient History where each class studies only 4 of 48 possible electives)?.

Particularly in history, it seems impossible that every marker would be sufficiently knowledgeable to be able to mark all different areas.

I would guess that each different elective question would be sent to markers who knew enough to mark it properly. Is this true?

Individual questions are assigned to individual markers for the marking of all HSC exams.

You don't ever have a single marker assessing an entire paper.

So yes, you're right.

do you know how they scale electives? because wouldn't the process be slightly different, e.g is your forensic chemistry option part of the exam (in Chemistry ) scaled against all people sitting the chem exam or just those who did forensic chem?

Same question really for all subjects that have multiple electives in varying modules, e.g english extension Genres vs Critical study of texts; are they marked/scaled relatively?
