damn.
Stupid media, get out of infiltrating education, what the media doesn't get and they don't mention is that it's a ranking, no matter whether it's a hard or an easy exam, if you're the top mark you will get the HSC equivalent of a 50 study score, seriously
This is stupid and absolutely unacceptable typical "media scare" that seems to do nothing for anybody except make money for the papers
Whilst i know what your saying, IF the media is correct and that exam was unreasonably hard (not just hard)
then a very hard exam is no better than a very easy exam, in that it caters only for the top students where as easy exams cater for the bottom students who take advantage of silly mistakes of top students
very hard exam = bad-above average students will clump and it will be a matter of 'luck' for them
very easy exam = below-average-top students will clump and it will yet again be matter of 'luck' for them.
the exam should cater for the whole cohort, as is said
but an exam like this doesn't give the less capable students a real chance to show what they know.
