Very Weird ENTER/Exam stories....

[kyzoo]

Lol as if they would go through the effort to recalculate 50,000 students' scores

I assume they are more rigorous in maintaining the conditions present in SAC's. I also think they wouldn't allow a student complete a SAC in the common room. There definitely would be cases of such leniency in private schools, though I think their frequency would be significantly lower than in public schools.

yeah I reckon you're right.

I agree as well. While such cases are not exclusive to public schools, private schools tend to place a lot of value in prestige and reputation and would probably be much stricter when handling SACs.

Although my statement was actually in relation to the ENTER stuff up at my school. This is the first I've ever heard of such a mess up and I'll be interested to see what happens as I doubt this can be as simple as changing the ENTERs of all the students affected without tampering with state rankings.

In regards to this, I asked my teacher what happens if there was an error when entering the data onto the computer

They said they print out all the entered data and rigorously check them, as well as handing it to otehr teachers (i think the latter i mis understood), but yeah.

How would they go about informing the rest of the state that their scores have been altered, as a result of one school, I envisage some affected individuals getting angry at your school. What about scholarships? Some who have already accepted a scholarship may be, as a result of this, placed below another person in line for the scholarship. Should they be stripped of it?
The point is, it would be a nightmare to change everyones scores. I assume they would keep everything as is, alter the people's SAC scores at your school and give them their 'proper' SS and recalculate their ENTER.

This is what I'm thinking as well. I'm also predicting my school may cop a hefty penalty or fine. Really this was extremely clumsy and I'm surprised they let it happen.

Hadn't thought about penalising the culprit school, but makes sense. Probably a fine.

Music: had family crisis halfway through the year so barely studied... came out of final exam crying because I ran out of time and could only write a couple of dot points for the last question worth 12 marks. Study score 50. What the fuck?

face it nina, your performance was just too damn good and that's all that really matters in Music (well yeah written matters quite a bit but most people don't finish it on time so it's a rubbish exam anyway)

regrettably true yet not...in group performance was ranked top in the grade (official A+), A+ on written yet got a B on the performance which leads to a *bad* 36. sadly written doesn't count for that much in the end.

I don't know what's going on, but I certainly hope my Chem score is adjusted. What a disappointment. All that effort and those hours of preparation couldn't even get me 45 raw. What else should I have expected from stupid Chem.

I liked the written exam for music Well the theory/aural bit, anyway. w00t perfect pitch. And yeah, EVERYONE doesn't finish that exam on time. I don't know why they make it so long for such a short amount of time...

[ngRISING]

Can I just STRESS, they probably were LOW A+'s etc...

For example,

the dude who got A,A,A he probably got like 89% (1 more and would be A+)
Whereas the dude who got A+,A+,A (those A+'s, were probably one mark off an A)

.....see what I mean. You cant just look at the LETTER, its the exact numerical figures which matter the most, but yeah I see what you mean and I would be annoyed too, but yeah.
