exam stuff up need help (1 Viewer)

hi, i recently sat for a 3unit maths exam where there were two questions one was written down worng and the other was a four unit integral. I answered the 4unit integral correctly and spent like 10mins on the error question. during the exam students told the teachers that they looked like errors yet the teacher said it was right. they took out these questions which i spent 20mins all up and i didnt get any marks where even others didnt bother answering them. I presented my case to the maths coordinator and then the principal and they said they can do nothing. should i go to the board of studies to appeal for the marks i deserve, any suggestions

Yes, you should complain to someone. I don't know if the BOS is the right place (maybe somebody else can confirm/deny) but I would definitely get your parents to talk to the school. You might also want to ask the school if you can sit a new exam and see how you go in that.

yeh i went with my parents to the principal and was told there was nothing they could do which is ridiculous

Post the question, if you are still hesitant that it is wrong. But normally you should skip a question that takes longer than normal and acquire marks elsewhere.

Yeah this. Why would you spend 10 minutes on a question if you haven't finished the paper?

Next time remember to have better time management

i finished the whole exam so i can do without accusations, the integral was integral [3/(1-49x^2) and i need it to come first as im only behind 1 mark

no that question above was right but they got rid of as they said it wasnt 3unit despite getting it right, the question which was wrong is it asked to for the inverse rather than differentiating

Not 1 + 49x^2? If so, that is indeed 4U unless there was a previous part to prove that it could exist as two individual fractions.
