Title: Confusion with Statement of Marks [RESOLVED]
Post by: gab.r_se on December 21, 2018, 09:44:45 pm
Hello!

For Biology, I just received my Statement of Marks for my exam only, and I noticed that in the "Score Obtained" column for the short answer, I got a "ge".

Does anybody know what the "ge" means?


Update: Turns out that it was just an error on their behalf.

Hello!

For Biology, I just received my Statement of Marks for my exam only, and I noticed that in the "Score Obtained" column for the short answer, I got a "ge".

I added up the total amount of marks from the rest of the given marks, and it was equal to my final score for the short answer. This means that for that particular question that I got a "ge" for, whatever mark came out of that did not go towards my final score at all. The question that I got the ge in was for Q11c, which was worth 4 marks for both assessors.

Does anybody know what the "ge" means? Also, I was 4 marks away from the A rank. If ge means that for some reason maybe the assessors forgot to give me a mark for that question, could my study score perhaps increase to a 36 from a 35 if I ended up receiving full marks for that question?

I'm not sure what ge means, but you could probably put this question to VTAC to clarify. They have a call centre that will be able to answer this question well.

Thank you, I will definitely call them.
