IS it true that MLC got the wrong papers for their exam..
but they still to sit their examination...?????
-
Yes.
Apparently 80% of the paper was the same so they marked the 80% and used standardisation (somehow) for the last 20%.
-
Yes, they are getting a derived score.
-
Huh? How the hell did they give them the wrong exam papers? How didn't the students notice :o
-
Apparantly they did and raised the issue with the examiners, but they replied saying that all the exams were the same this year.
-
wats MLC?
-
The question is why didn't someone higher up notice before hand that the incorrect exam papers were delivered to the school.
-
wats MLC?
Melbourne Ladies Collge, i think.
-
i heard that they do methods CAS but got the standard methods paper instead....prob woulda made it easier since they had their calcs with em
-
methodist ladies college
just a bit of a cock up
-
But I think they get the disadvantage since they're getting a derived score. And getting ranked against the CAS students, not the normal students.

Would that be an advantage, though? Is the competition higher with non-CAS or CAS?

It says what the exam is on the front cover, and the examiner should ask for you to check that you have the correct examination paper. How could NOBODY in the entire school have noticed?
-
maybe there's a more sinister reason for it /0

I'm guessing they noticed but it was too late to change. You know how everyone in the state has to do it at the exact same time. I don't think there could've been a viable exception (or maybe tell the students to remain in the examination hall until they obtain a few hundred copies of the correct paper but undoubtedly some would've seen what's in the paper before few realise they've got the wrong paper).

not necessarily. Our supervisor in the legal exam let us write 5 minutes into reading time since everyone read the whole thing in one minute and we all looked bored. VCD exam, same examiner let half the class write for extra 10 mins.

Apparently for my French exam we get to start 5 mins late at 3.20pm.
Because otherwise the listening tasks would start at 3.15 when the bell goes and school finishes.
Hopefully everyone will have left by 3.20.
